Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and system of evaluating a dental preparation surface, comprising obtaining a digital oral situation and/or a portion thereof comprising a preparation surface, evaluating an attainable thickness based on the preparation surface and surroundings and comparing the attainable thickness to minimum thickness.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a scanning system for determining a health-condition based on scanning an intraoral object. More specifically, the present disclosure is related to different methods of providing the health-condition, for example by adapting the scanner with different scanning modes.
Abstract:
A method for digitally designing a denture using an existing denture Disclosed are computer implemented methods and user interfaces for facilitating the design of a so-called copy denture, whereby an existing denture is reproduced after making changes to the existing denture to improve fit, aesthetics or other parameters.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a wireless scanning device (1), comprising: a scanning housing (2), comprising: an image detector (3) configured for acquiring 2D-images at a first 2D-frame-rate; and one or more processor(s) (4) coupled to the image detector such that the 2D-images can be processed by said processor(s) to form processed data; a wireless module (6) being coupled to said processor(s) such that the wireless module receives the processed data from said processor(s) and wirelessly transmits the processed data.
Abstract:
The present invention provides in a first aspect a sheath for an intraoral scanning tip, where polarization is not substantially altered during scanning.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for reconstructing at least a first and a second independently moving body from one 3D tomography scan, comprising performing a movement of the first body relative to the second body, obtaining the movement, obtaining a 3D tomography scan of the first body and the second body during the movement, and reconstructing a first 3D model of the first body and a second 3D model of the second body by applying the recorded movement to the 3D tomography scan. This has the effect that reconstruction of several 3D tomography scanned bodies is possible during motion of the scanned bodies.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for generating a panoramic image of a patient, the method comprising: - obtaining a digital 3D surface representation of at least a part of the patient's teeth; - using the obtained digital 3D surface representation to define a customized path following the arch form of the patient's teeth; - obtaining a plurality of x-ray images of at least a part of one of the patient's jaws and/or teeth; and - generating the panoramic image of the patient using the customized path.
Abstract:
Disclosed is surface guided cropping in volume rendering of 3D volumetric data from intervening anatomical structures in the patient's body. A digital 3D representation expressing the topography of a first anatomical structure is used to define a clipping surface or a bounding volume which then is used in the volume rendering to exclude data from an intervening structure when generating a 2D projection of the first anatomical structure.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an optical coherence tomography scanner and a method for recording sub-surface scans of an object, wherein a position encoder is arranged in the path of the probing beam of an interferometric system. The encoder pattern is detected in a sequence of A scans at generated for different probing beam positions on the scanned object, the probing beam position and/or inclination for at least one A scan of said sequence of A scans is deducing based on the detected encoder pattern, and the sub-surface scan of the object is generated based on the sequence of A scans taking into account the deduced probing beam position and/or inclination.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for improving the accuracy of a digital medical model of a part of a patient, the medical model comprising at least 2 medical images recorded with a medical imaging device, the method comprising: - obtaining a set of at least 2 medical images of the patient, where an element comprising a predefined geometry and/or predefined information was attached to the patient during the recording of the medical images; - obtaining at least 2 tracking images taken with at least one camera having a known positional relationship relative to the medical imaging device, said tracking images depicting at least part of the element; - determining any movement of the element between acquisition of the at least 2 tracking images; and - generating the digital medical model from the acquired medical images, wherein the determined movement of the element is used to compensate for any movement of the patient between the acquisition of the medical images.
