Abstract
A dental formula information input method and a dental formula information input device for automatically inputting dental formula information about teeth are disclosed. The dental formula information input method creates a library from dental formula information about teeth universally used for prosthetic work, and then automatically inputs the dental formula information about teeth through one click on the basis of the library, thereby minimizing work steps and enabling an increase in the convenience and usability of a user inputting cases relating to prosthetic work.
Claims9
A method of inputting dental formula information performed by a device for inputting the dental information by using a user interface displayed on a monitor, the method comprising:
- displaying the user interface including an oral image of a patient generated from a panoramic image on the monitor;
- selecting a prosthetic type of a tooth for a prosthetic work from among a plurality of prosthetic types from a library;
- receiving a hovering over a tooth in the oral image for which the prosthetic work is required through the user interface;
- activating an edge of the tooth hovered over in the oral image and activating an edge of one or more teeth adjacent to the tooth hovered over or a tooth symmetrical to the tooth hovered over in the oral image;
- changing a color of the tooth hovered over in the oral image and changing a color of the one or more teeth adjacent to the tooth hovered over or the tooth symmetrical to the tooth hovered over, wherein the prosthetic type of the tooth will be applied to teeth that color changed;
- determining a tooth number corresponding to the tooth hovered over based on hovered coordinates and determining a tooth number corresponding to the one or more teeth adjacent to the tooth hovered over or a tooth symmetrical to the tooth hovered over;
- inputting the dental formula information according to the prosthetic type to the tooth hovered over and inputting the dental formula information to the one or more teeth adjacent to the tooth hovered over or the tooth symmetrical to the tooth hovered over;
- and
- displaying the oral image, the oral image including the tooth or teeth with changed color together with the dental formula information, on the monitor through the user interface;
- wherein the dental formula information displayed on the monitor through the user interface is matched and stored with the prosthetic type of the tooth selected from the library as one case.
A device for inputting dental formula information, the device including a user interface displayed on a monitor, the device comprising:
- a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- display the user interface including an oral image of a patient generated from a panoramic image on the monitor,
- select a prosthetic type of a tooth for a prosthetic work from among a plurality of prosthetic types from in a library,
- receive a hovering over a tooth in the oral image for which the prosthetic work is required through the user interface,
- activate an edge of the tooth hovered over in the oral image and activate an edge of one or more teeth adjacent to the tooth hovered over or a tooth symmetrical to the tooth hovered over in the oral image,
- change a color of the tooth hovered over in the oral image and change a color of the one or more teeth adjacent to the tooth hovered over or the tooth symmetrical to the tooth hovered over, wherein the prosthetic type of the tooth will be applied to teeth with changed color,
- determine a tooth number corresponding to the tooth hovered over based on hovered coordinates and determine a tooth number corresponding to the one or more teeth adjacent to the tooth hovered over or a tooth symmetrical to the tooth hovered over,
- input the dental formula information according to the prosthetic type to the tooth hovered over and input the dental formula information to the one or more teeth adjacent to the tooth hovered over or the tooth symmetrical to the tooth hovered over;
- and
- display the oral image, the oral image including the tooth or teeth with changed color together with the dental formula information on the monitor through the user interface;
- wherein the dental formula information displayed on the monitor through the user interface is matched and stored with the prosthetic type of the tooth selected from the library as one case.
