Augmented reality enhancements for dental practitioners

A processing device receives, from an image capture device associated with an augmented reality (AR) display, a plurality of images of a face of a patient. The processing device selects a subset of the plurality of images that meet one or more image selection criteria. The selection comprises determining, from the plurality of images, a first image that represents a first position extreme for the face; determining, from the plurality of images, a second image that represents a second position extreme of the face; selecting the first image; and selecting the second image. The processing device further generates a model of a jaw of the patient based at least in part on the subset of the plurality of images that have been selected.

Remote control device for medical system
11775069 · 2023-10-03 ·

In a medical system, a medical device includes a first display that displays a figure or a character corresponding to data relevant to medical treatment performed in the medical device, and a first controller that causes the first display to display the figure or the character corresponding to the data and that, when the data satisfies conditions for notification of a warning, causes the medical device to emit a first warning. A remote control device includes a second display that displays the figure or the character corresponding to the data, and a second controller that causes the second display to display the figure or the character corresponding to the data and that, when the data satisfies the conditions for notification of the warning, causes the remote control device to emit a second warning that is different than the first warning.

Access guide and drill kit to be used with same for endodontic access cavity preparation and method of use
11744673 · 2023-09-05 ·

A set of drill bits and/or burrs for attaching to a hand piece and fitting into an access guide during endodontic access cavity preparation is provided. The drill bits are optionally grouped into two types: a high speed, friction grip attachment type drill bit and a slow speed, latch attachment type drill bit. Each of the drill bits has a different longitudinal length for performing different functions during operation procedures. A method of performing an endodontic access cavity preparation with the set of drill bits is also provided.

Augmented reality enhancements for dental practitioners

An image of a dental arch comprising a preparation tooth is generated by an image capture device associated with an augmented reality (AR) display. The image of the dental arch is registered to previous image data associated with the dental arch. A visual overlay associated with a dental prosthetic to be placed on the preparation tooth is generated based on the registering of the image of the dental arch to the previous image data associated with the dental arch. The visual overlay is output to the AR display, wherein the visual overlay is superimposed over a view of the preparation tooth on the AR display.
