    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.

    Abstract: A method for modeling a digital design of a denture for a patient, the denture includes a gingival part and a teeth part including a set of denture teeth, where the method includes obtaining a digital 3D representation of the patient's gum; obtaining virtual teeth models corresponding to the denture teeth; virtually arranging the virtual teeth models in relation to the digital 3D representation of the patient's gum; and generating a virtual outer gingival surface of the gingival part of the denture.

    Abstract: A 3D scanner system includes a scanning device capable of recording first and second data sets of a surface of an object when operating in a first configuration and a second configuration, respectively. A measurement unit is configured for measuring a distance from the scanning device to the surface. A control controls an operation of the scanning device based on the distance measured by the measurement unit, where the scanning device operates in the first configuration when the measured distance is within a first range of distances from the surface and the scanning device operates in the second configuration when the measured distance is within a second range of distances; and a data processor is configured to combine one or more first data sets and one or more second data sets to create a combined virtual 3D model of the object surface.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a method for manufacturing a denture comprising an artificial gingiva surface, a seating surface facing at least a part of the gingiva surface when placed in the mouth of a patient, at least one tooth receiving hole provided in the artificial gingiva surface and extending through to the seating surface and an artificial tooth arranged in the tooth receiving hole, The method comprises printing an intermediate denture base comprising the artificial gingiva surface, the at least one tooth receiving hole for receiving the artificial tooth, arranging the artificial tooth in the at least one tooth receiving hole, fixing the intermediate denture base in a milling machine, and milling the denture comprising providing the seating surface by removing at least a part of the tooth extending through the tooth receiving hole. This provides an improved manufacturing process of denture.

    Abstract: Detecting a movable object in a location includes providing a first 3D representation of at least part of a surface; providing a second 3D representation of at least part of the surface; determining for the first 3D representation a first excluded volume in space where no surface can be present; determining for the second 3D representation a second excluded volume in space where no surface can be present; if a portion of the surface in the first 3D representation is located in space in the second excluded volume, the portion of the surface in the first 3D representation is disregarded in the generation of the virtual 3D model, and/or if a portion of the surface in the second 3D representation is located in space in the first excluded volume, the portion of the surface in the second 3D representation is disregarded in the generation of the virtual 3D model.
