Abstract

The present invention provides a method for obtaining the shape of one or more existing teeth of a patient or one or more teeth to be included in a dental restoration intended to replace one or more missing teeth of a partially edentulous patient , a method of estimating position and / or orientation. The method involves adapting a virtual tooth arrangement to the intraoral anatomy of the patient, wherein the virtual tooth arrangement comprises a separate surface mesh of individual teeth positioned in a dental arch or a segment thereof. The virtual tooth arrangement is adapted by optimizing an energy function representing a quality measure of the virtual tooth arrangement and using a statistical model describing at least a single tooth for a given dentition or segment thereof The probability distribution of the shape of , the relationship between the shapes of adjacent teeth, and / or the relationship between the positions and / or orientations of adjacent teeth. The sought shape, position and / or orientation is then estimated using the adapted virtual tooth arrangement produced by the optimized energy function.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of methods for determining virtual tooth arrangements for prosthesis driven planning or orthodontic planning. The invention also relates to the field of methods for segmenting a scan of the inner surface of the mouth. Background technique [0002] Prosthetic restorations for missing or damaged teeth greatly impact quality of life due to the large impact teeth have on social interaction and well-being. This is attributed to the important functions of the teeth, such as digesting food, speech, and maintaining the shape of the lower face. A routinely used, reliable and recognized technology for prosthetic restorations of teeth is based on dental implants. Dental implant-based treatments aim at functional and esthetic results with minimal patient discomfort and short treatment times. Careful and detailed planning of dental implants and the proper tools to transfer said plans into the operating room ar...
