[0029] The instruction information includes a dental clinic ID for identifying the dental clinic terminal 3, a dental laboratory ID for identifying the dental laboratory terminal 4, a patient ID for identifying the patient who will wear the dental prosthesis produced according to the instruction, and one or more instruction information for producing the dental prosthesis.

[0030] As shown in Figure 3(a), the instruction information includes first information indicating the condition of the teeth and / or the dental prosthesis, associated information associated with the first information, and second information indicating the condition of the teeth and / or the position of the dental prosthesis.

[0031] The first information includes information about the state of the tooth, information about the dental prosthesis, or a combination thereof. The information about the state of the tooth includes pulp, non-pulp, missing, etc. The information about the dental prosthesis includes single crown, connected crown, bridge, pontic, abutment, screw, retainer, connecting device, etc. In this embodiment, examples of combinations of information about the state of the tooth and information about the dental prosthesis include single crown non-pulp, single crown with pulp, single crown abutment, single crown screw, connected crown non-pulp, connected crown with pulp, connected crown abutment, connected crown screw, etc.

[0032] The first information on the dental prosthesis is classified into a single dental prosthesis such as a single crown, and a connected dental prosthesis such as a connected crown or a bridge that is attached to a plurality of teeth.

[0033] The first information may include associated information that is information associated with the dental technique, such as the material and color (shade) of the dental technique. The associated information includes selectable materials, colors, and the like for each type of dental technique.

[0034] The second information is information indicating the position of the tooth by a tooth row number or the like. In this embodiment, the tooth row numbers 11 to 18, 21 to 28, 31 to 38, and 41 to 48 are assigned to each tooth, and indicate whether the tooth is located in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or on the left or right side. For baby teeth and wisdom teeth, tooth row numbers other than those mentioned above may be assigned.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 3(b), the representation information includes color information corresponding to the first information and icon information. The color information, for example, corresponds to the type of dental prosthesis or tooth condition of the first information, and different colors are set. The icon information, for example, corresponds to the type of dental prosthesis or tooth condition of the first information, and different icons are set. The icons are represented by any shape such as a circle, a triangle, a rectangle, a donut, etc.

[0036] The template information includes a row of teeth image. The row of teeth image is image data of the row of teeth, and a row of teeth number is assigned in the image data. The row of teeth image is used for the purpose of visually displaying the position of a dental prosthesis or the state of teeth by reflecting color information and icon information of the expression information in the row of teeth number indicated by the second information. In this specification, the instruction row of teeth image is defined as a term indicating a row of teeth image reflecting the expression information.

[0037] In this embodiment, the template information may have a row of teeth display template corresponding to the row of teeth image. The row of teeth display template is image data of a row of teeth different from the row of teeth image, and a row of teeth number is assigned to the image data. The row of teeth display template, like the row of teeth image, can visually display the position of a dental prosthesis or the state of teeth by reflecting color information or icon information of the expression information in the row of teeth number indicated by the second information. In this specification, row of teeth display is defined as a term indicating a row of teeth display template reflecting the expression information. Note that the icon information applied to the row of teeth display template may be an icon of a different size or shape from the icon information applied to the row of teeth image. Note that it is preferable that the color information applied to the row of teeth display template and the row of teeth image are the same color.

[0038] The dentition display template is small in size compared to the dentition image, and is configured as image data in which the color of the representation information and the position reflecting the icon roughly match those of the dentition image. The user can visually recognize the dentition display corresponding to the instruction dentition image based on the color and the positional relationship of the icon. The instruction dentition image is large in size, which allows for excellent operability in specifying a position, and the dentition display is small in size, which allows for excellent viewing.

[0039] The instruction information is further associated with a feedback sheet and data related to the dental prosthesis fee. The feedback sheet is data indicating feedback regarding the dental prosthesis fitted to the patient at the dental clinic, and is registered in association with the corresponding instruction information via the dental clinic terminal 3. The dental prosthesis fee is data indicating the fee for producing the dental prosthesis, and is registered in association with the corresponding instruction information via the dental laboratory terminal 4. The feedback sheet and the dental laboratory fee associated with the instruction information can be referenced on both the dental clinic terminal 3 and the dental laboratory terminal 4.

[0040] <Creating instructions> FIG. 4 shows an example of the screen display of the instruction sheet screen W1. The instruction sheet screen W1 includes a first instruction area W10 that accepts input of instruction information, a display area W20 that displays the instruction information, and a second instruction area W30 that accepts input of associated information. The first instruction area W10 accepts input of the first information and the second information. The display area W20 displays the instruction information input through the first instruction area W10 and the second instruction area W30. The second instruction area W30 accepts input of associated information associated with the first information.

[0041] The first instruction area 10 includes a category selection area W11, a first selection area W12 for selecting the first information, and a second selection area W13 for displaying a dentition image and accepting second information. The category selection area W11 switches the category of the first information selectable by the first selection area W12. The first selection area W12 selects the first information when selected. The second selection area W13 accepts input of second information, which is the position of the first information selected in the first selection area W12.

[0042] In FIG. 4, the first selection area W12 displays five selection areas (selection areas W12A to W12E from the top). In each selection area, the first information is selected by a selection operation such as touch. In FIG. 4, the selection area W12 has "single crown with pulp" selected as the first information. When the first selection area W12 is selected, it is displayed with color information corresponding to the first information. When the selection area W12A in the selected state receives a further selection operation, it can switch the display to another piece of first information and be selected. For example, the selection area W12A can switch to another piece of first information in the order of single crown with pulp, single crown without pulp, single crown abutment, and single crown screw. The selection areas W12A to W12E are configured to be able to switch between different pieces of first information.

[0043] The second selection area W13 is displayed as a row of teeth image, and accepts the designation of the position of the first information selected in the first selection area W12 to input the second information. This allows the first information and the second information to be input. The second selection area W13 can refer to the representation information and display a color and an icon corresponding to the first information in the row of teeth image. In FIG. 4, the second selection area W13 displays objects O1 to O3 based on different pieces of first information. The objects O1 to O3 correspond to different pieces of first information and are displayed with their respective colors and icons.

[0044] In Fig. 4, the object O1 is displayed by selecting the position of the tooth row number 14 in the second selection region W13 with the selection region W12A in the selected state. Here, the selection region W12A and the object O1 correspond to the same first information (single crown with pulp) and are displayed with the same color information. In other words, the second selection region W13 based on the tooth row image reflecting the first information and the first selection region W12 with the first information in the selected state are displayed with the same color information corresponding to the first information, so that it is visually possible to distinguish that they indicate the same first information.

[0045] The second designation area W30 accepts a selection of associated information for the first information selected by the first selection area W12. The display area W20 displays the first information, associated information, and second information input by the first designation area W10 and the second designation area W30.

[0046] 4, an example is described in which the instruction form screen W1 accepts input of instruction information, but areas may be provided for accepting other instruction form information, such as the name of the dental clinic that creates the instruction form, the name of the dental laboratory that will receive the instruction form and produce the dental prosthesis, the patient's name, etc. When the send button is pressed, the dental clinic terminal 3 or the dental laboratory terminal 4 transmits the various information input via the instruction form screen W1 to the instruction form management device 2.

[0047] The instruction book generating unit 21 generates instruction book information based on the instruction information input via the instruction book screen W1 and stores it in a database. At this time, the instruction book generating unit 21 refers to expression information corresponding to the input instruction information and reflects the display on the instruction book screen W1, thereby visualizing the input status of the instruction information. The instruction book generating unit 21 can assign a creation date to the generated instruction book information and manage the instruction book information in order of creation date.

[0048] The instruction book generating unit 21 can store in the database an instruction row-of-teeth image in which the instruction information and expression information are reflected in the row-of-teeth image. An instruction row-of-teeth image refers to a state in which a color or an icon based on the expression information is reflected in the row-of-teeth image. Note that the instruction row-of-teeth image may be generated each time in response to a display request for the instruction row-of-teeth image by a display process that reflects the instruction information and the expression information corresponding to the instruction information in the row-of-teeth image.

[0049] <Instruction management> The reference unit 22 provides the instruction form information stored in the database in response to a reference request from the dental clinic terminal 3 or the dental laboratory terminal 4. In this embodiment, the reference request is generated by accepting designation of history data corresponding to the instruction form information from the dental clinic terminal 3 or the dental laboratory terminal 4, and is transmitted to the instruction form management device 2. The reference unit 22 accepts the designation of history data via a history screen, refers to the instruction form information corresponding to the history data in the database, and transmits the instruction form information that is the reference result to the user terminal 9 that originated the reference request.

[0050] 5 shows an example of the screen display of the history screen W2. In this embodiment, the history screen W2 is displayed at the end of the instruction sheet screen W1 by receiving a display request on the instruction sheet screen W1. The history screen W2 displays the history data W21A to W21D in a list. The history screen W2 displays the history data W21 in the order of the creation date of the instruction sheet information, and is configured so that the displayed history data can be switched by a horizontal flick operation or a drag-and-drop operation.

[0051] The reference unit 22 generates a display of the history data W21 based on the data items included in the instruction information. In FIG. 5, the history data W21 shows an example of a first display including a transaction partner, a patient name, an issue date, a delivery date, and a dentition display DI. The transaction partner of the dental clinic is a dental laboratory, and the transaction partner of the dental laboratory is a dental clinic. The dentition display DI is generated and displayed based on the instruction dentition image or instruction information. The history data W21 may be displayed as a second display including a feedback sheet or a laboratory fee associated with the instruction information. The reference unit 22 can switch between the first display and the second display to display the history data W21 by switching the display by tapping or clicking on the history data W21.

[0052] The reference unit 22 can refer to the instruction sheet information corresponding to the history data W21 by a reference operation such as a vertical flick operation or a drag-and-drop operation on the history data W21, and display the instruction sheet information on the instruction sheet screen W1. The instruction sheet generation unit 21 can accept edits to the instruction sheet information displayed on the instruction sheet screen W1.

[0053] As one aspect, the reference unit 22 converts the instruction tooth row image of the instruction form information to generate a tooth row display DI of the history data W21. The conversion process is a process of converting the scale of the instruction tooth row image. The scale conversion includes processes such as reducing the entire instruction tooth row image and reducing a part of the instruction tooth row image.

[0054] As one aspect, the reference unit 22 generates a tooth row display DI based on instruction information. Specifically, the reference unit 22 refers to expression information corresponding to the first information included in the instruction information and the second information, and reflects them in a tooth row display template to generate a tooth row display DI.

[0055] The second selection area W13 by the instruction dentition image reflecting the first information, the first selection area W12 with the first information in a selected state, and the dentition display DI reflecting the first information are each displayed with the same color information corresponding to the first information. This allows the user to visually recognize the type of dental prosthesis and the condition of the teeth from the color information, and to easily identify previously created / viewed instruction forms from the arrangement of the color information.

[0056] FIG. 6 shows an example of conversion between a corresponding instruction tooth row image and a tooth row display. In the conversion example of FIG. 6(a), a tooth row display obtained by scaling the instruction tooth row image is shown. The conversion example in FIG. 6(b) shows a row-of-teeth display obtained by extracting and converting the expression information and the second information indicated by the instruction row-of-teeth image. In the conversion example of FIG. 6(c), a tooth row display in which the instruction tooth row image is converted into a dental formula format is shown.

[0057] The conversion example between the instruction tooth row image and the tooth row display is not limited to that shown in FIG. 6, and may be any that allows visual recognition that they are the same dental prosthesis from the color and positional relationship of the icons.

[0058] According to the present invention, it is possible to realize instruction management that allows both generating an instruction via an instruction screen W1 that displays a dentition image with excellent operability and referring to the instruction via a history screen W2 that displays a dentition display with excellent viewability.
