Abstract: A system for the color matching of dental restorations with teeth using a high degree of color correction followed by a display of maps showing the distribution of shades and values over the face of a tooth. The system can further utilize filters to output shade maps consisting of a predetermined number of shades and allow a technician to perform a virtual try in of the restoration in the patient's mouth.

Abstract: A dental imaging and illumination device. The device has an optical interface for emitting light from the device and for receiving light into the device. The device has a light source, a camera, a beam splitter and a color reference. The color reference and the light source are optically coupled via an optical path so that the light source can illuminate the color reference. This optical path bypasses the beam splitter. The device facilitates color measuring particularly in the field of dentistry.

Abstract: A method for optimizing initial discriminating information extracted from a two-dimensional image of the patient dental arches, referred to as “acquired image”, by a three-dimensional digital reference model of at least one portion of a patient arch, the method including the steps: C1. assessing quality of the initial discriminating information and quality threshold, filtering to keep only the initial discriminating information that has quality higher than the quality threshold, and defining “the discriminating information to be tested” as the initial discriminating information selected; C2. testing consistency between the discriminating information to be tested and reference model; C3. assessing test result and, in accordance with the assessment: adding discriminating information that was not kept to the discriminating information to be tested and/or deleting discriminating information from the discriminating information to be tested, and then returning to step C2. or; defining the optimal discriminating information as the discriminating information to be tested.

Abstract: An apparatus for obtaining an image of a tooth having at least one light source providing incident light having a first spectral range for obtaining a reflectance image from the tooth and a second spectral range for exciting a fluorescence image from the tooth. A polarizing beamsplitter in the path of the incident light from both sources directs light having a first polarization state toward the tooth and directs light from the tooth having a second polarization state along a return path toward a sensor, wherein the second polarization state is orthogonal to the first polarization state. A first lens in the return path directs image-bearing light from the tooth toward the sensor, and obtains image data from the portion of the light having the second polarization state. A long-pass filter in the return path attenuates light in the second spectral range.
