Embodiment Construction

[0032] The use of digital 3D models is becoming more and more popular in the dental market. These models can be obtained directly in the body using intraoral scanners, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans (i.e. 3D X-rays), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); The castings made are obtained indirectly. Some examples of indirect data acquisition methods include, but are not limited to, industrial computed tomography (CT) scans (ie, 3D X-rays), laser scanning, and patterned light scanning. Digital 3D models can be used for a variety of clinical tasks, including treatment planning, crown and implant preparation, prosthodontic restoration, orthodontic setting design, orthodontic appliance design, and diagnostic aids such as assessing or visually illustrating tooth wear.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for determining virtual joint motion from a dental scan. The method includes receiving digital 3D models of a person's maxillary and mandibular arches, as well as digital 3D models of a plurality of different occlusal positions of the dental arch. The digital 3D models of the maxillary and mandibular arches are registered with the occlusal posture to produce a transformation of the spatial relationship between the dental arches that define the occlusal posture. Based on the digital 3D model and transformation, the method computes a pure rotational axis representation of each occlusal pose of the mandibular arch relative to the maxillary arch. The virtual articulation can be used for prosthetic purposes or for diagnostic purposes.

Description

Background technique [0001] Digital dentistry is a growing trend as more and more dentists rely on digital impression systems. These systems use intraoral scanning cameras or scan traditional physical impressions and associated processing systems to generate digital three-dimensional (3D) models of the patient's teeth. [0002] The digital 3D model can then be used for prosthodontics and advanced diagnostics such as detecting tooth wear. Accurate joint motion is a key factor in performing such repairs and diagnostics. Current data acquisition for mechanical joint motion is time consuming and requires expensive simulation setups. Specifically, current techniques involve manual procedures using facebows and laboratory articulators to capture mandibular joint motion data for complex rehabilitation. [0003] Therefore, a digital replacement is needed for the current manual process for obtaining joint motion information. Contents of the invention [0004] According to the inv...
