    Abstract: A computer product for generating a digital 3D model for use in a dental component based on a digital 3D model of the dental component showing a shape of the teeth and a digital 3D representation of a pre-prepared set of teeth showing the region for which the dental component is intended, said product causing a system to generate a digital 3D combined model representing a target dental situation when the dental component is arranged at the teeth, where the instructions are configured for digitally replacing one or more teeth of the digital 3D representation of the pre-prepared set of teeth with the digital 3D model of the dental component by digitally removing the one or more teeth of the digital 3D representation of the pre-prepared set of teeth and adding the digital 3D model of the dental component to the digital 3D representation of the pre-prepared set of teeth.

    Abstract: A method, a system and a user interface for generating a digital design for use in the manufacture of a molding-shell for a patient's teeth, where the molding-shell and the teeth together enclose a volume for forming a dental restoration, include obtaining a digital 3D representation of the patient's teeth, the digital 3D representation including a tooth part relating to one or more teeth for which the dental restoration is formed; obtaining a set of one or more digital teeth anatomies; arranging the set of digital teeth anatomies and the digital 3D representation according to a preferred relative arrangement; and generating the digital design where a first portion of the digital design is derived from the digital teeth anatomies and a second portion of the digital design is derived from the tooth part of the digital 3D representation.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining the geometrical relationship between a patient's dental structure and a reference feature on the head of the patient, the method including obtaining a first digital representation of a facebow including a fiducial marker, an adjustable pin member attached to the facebow and an attachment section of the facebow for placing the facebow in relation to the reference feature, the attachment section having a geometrical relationship with the fiducial marker; obtaining a second digital representation comprising a part of the patient's dental structure, a part of the pin member, and part of the facebow including the fiducial marker; obtaining information about the placement of the attachment section relative to the reference feature; and determining the geometrical relationship between the patient's dental structure and the reference feature based on the first and second digital representations and the placement of the attachment section.

    Abstract: A method for creating a digital model of a denture for a patient, where the denture includes a gingival part and artificial teeth, includes obtaining digital models of artificial teeth representing the artificial teeth; obtaining a 3D scan comprising a digital representation of at least part of the patient's existing gingiva; digitally modeling a gingival part of the digital model of the denture using the 3D scan and the digital artificial teeth; digitally determining a first offset defining a first thickness of a first portion of the gingival part of the digital model of the denture that extends from the digital representation of the at least part of the patient's existing gingiva; and digitally determining a second offset defining a second thickness of a second portion of the gingival part of the digital model of the denture that extends from the digital artificial teeth.

    Abstract: A physical model of a set of teeth, wherein the physical model includes a gingival part in which a cavity comprising a cavity wall is formed; and a removable component having a part shaped as a tooth, where the removable component is configured for fitting into the cavity with a gap at an interface between the removable component and the cavity wall. The removable component or the cavity wall includes one or more supporting elements extending across the gap to establish contact between the removable component and the cavity wall to support and position the removable component in the cavity, and where contact between the removable component and the cavity wall at the interface only is provided by the supporting elements.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, an occlusion setup fixture and system for recording digital 3D representations of physical teeth models of a patient's jaws and for arranging the digital 3D representations according in a common coordinate system such that the digital 3D representations are arranged according to the patient's occlusion. The recorded digital 3D representations are virtually brought into occlusion by a virtual movement, where the virtual movement includes a translation along a path according to the confined relative movement of the occlusion setup fixture.
