Abstract: Disclosed is a method for compensating for motion blur when performing a 3D scanning of at least a part of an object by means of a 3D scanner, where the motion blur occurs because the scanner and the object are moved relative to each other while the scanning is performed, and where the motion blur compensation comprises: —determining whether there is a relative motion between the scanner and the object during the acquisition of the sequence of focus plane images; —if a relative motion is determined, performing a motion compensation based on the determined motion; and —generating a 3D surface from the sequence of focus plane images.

Abstract: Disclosed in a method, a user interface and a system for use in determining shade of a patient's tooth, wherein a digital 3D representation including shape data and texture data for the tooth is obtained. A tooth shade value for at least one point on the tooth is determined based on the texture data of the corresponding point of the digital 3D representation and on known texture values of one or more reference tooth shade values.

Abstract: A method for digitally designing a modified dental setup up on a digital 3D dental model representing at least a part of the jaws of a patient includes the steps of obtaining a pre-treatment digital 2D image of at least a part of the patient's teeth, obtaining a digital 3D representation of the at least a part of the patient's set of teeth, obtaining a proposed digital 2D image of a desired dental setup based on the pre-treatment digital 2D image, wherein at least one digital tooth modification has been provided, and transferring the at least one digital tooth modification from the proposed digital 2D image to the digital 3D representation. This provides a method where the practitioner with relative simple means can present the patient with a visualization of an expected outcome of a dental treatment.
