System and method for developing a treatment plan for achieving a treatment goal including creating a virtual model of a dental patient's dentition; transforming the virtual model of the dentition using virtual prosthodontics to facilitate achievement of the treatment goal; transforming the virtual model of the dentition using virtual orthodontics to facilitate achievement of the treatment goal; iterating on the transforming steps until substantially achieving the treatment goal; and generating an orthodontic treatment plan and a prosthodontic treatment plan based upon the substantially achieved treatment goal

The invention relates to an upper jaw contact element for contact with a human upper jaw, which contact element is formed as a dental arch-shaped upper jaw bite fork (5) which has receiving portions on at least the open end portions that are configured to reversibly receive upper jaw crowns, in particular with the aid of impression material, in a manner as to be stable during manipulation, and which can be connected to at least one jaw relation element (6, 7, 8, 500) in the area of vertex of the arch.

A method, system and computer readable storage media for proposing and visualizing orthodontic treatments. A patient may use a mobile device such as a smart phone to quickly and inexpensively visualize an orthodontic treatment for misaligned teeth and overlay it on a 3D model of the face and jaw, with a depth sensor being used to detect depth information. The orthodontic treatment may also be visualized in an augmented manner for a clinician. 3D data of the orthodontic treatment may be used for further analysis or fabrication of a treatment appliance.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems, devices and methods for performing a surgical step or surgical procedure with visual guidance using an optical head mounted display. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems, devices and methods for displaying, placing, fitting, sizing, selecting, aligning, moving a virtual implant on a physical anatomic structure of a patient and, optionally, modifying or changing the displaying, placing, fitting, sizing, selecting, aligning, moving, for example based on kinematic information.

A method includes determining depth values associated with a first set of pixel locations in a first image of a mouth. One or more function is generated for one or more color channels based on intensities of the one or more color channels at the first set of pixel locations and depth values associated with the first set of pixel locations. Image data comprising a new representation of the teeth is received, wherein the image data comprises a second set of pixel locations and new depth values associated with the second set of pixel locations. A new image is generated based on the image data and the one or more functions.

A method of aligning two 3D digital representations of at least a part of each of the upper and lower jaw of a patient, the method including segmenting the 3D digital representations to determine the shape and position of each of the patient's teeth in each of the 3D digital representations; and using a set of known anatomical concepts to constrain the fit of the two 3D digital representations to get a preliminary fit.

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.

The present inventions relate to dental medicine, specifically to restorative, prosthetic and implant dentistry. The proposed innovations are a system comprised of a dental measuring device, method and developed algorithm for measuring the alveolar process of jaws and structurally optimizing measurements to determine the ideal position for dental implants. The system identifies precise implant locations in consideration of jaw size, chosen number of dental implants, and the applied forces and movements in all directions (Six degree of freedom) generated by mastication in fully or partially edentulous patients.

A method for mapping patient-specific volumetric imaging data includes acquiring volumetric imaging data of an anatomical structure of a patient, imposing the imaging data of the anatomical structure to a three-dimensional reference model to conform at least approximately with the imaging data representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure of the patient to map the volumetric imaging data representing at least a portion of the anatomical structure relative to the at least a portion of the three-dimensional reference model. The normalized volumetric data may be from a plurality of patients. The normalized data may be used as input data for a model or as training data for a machine learning algorithm to train a model for diagnosing a patient condition or determining or evaluating a treatment plan for a patient condition.

In CT visualization software, zones of the right and left temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are visualized sequentially. In a frontal plane, each of the condylar processes of the TMJs are delimited into sections. In a sagittal plane, separate 3D contours of the fossae and the condyles of the TMJs are created. The contours of the condyles are combined with a 3D model of the mandibular teeth, and a 3D model of the mandible with the teeth and the condylar processes is obtained. The contours of the fossae are combined with a 3D model of the maxillary teeth, and a 3D model of the maxilla with the teeth and the contours of the glenoid fossae is obtained. The 3D scene objects obtained are distributed according to side and identification code, and precise tracking of the movement of the condyles and the fossae of the TMJs during movement of the mandible is provided.
