Method for providing a 3D-print data set of a dental model structure, computer program product, dental model structure, mounting plate and dental model system

A method for providing a 3D-print data set of a dental model structure to be mounted on an articulator, comprising the steps of:

• providing an articulator data set of the articulator on which the dental model structure is to be mounted;
• providing a dental situation data set which represents a dental situation of an upper jaw and/or a lower jaw, the dental situation data set including data to display the dental situation as a virtual representation of the dental situation on a display;
• selecting at least one distance element from a plurality of different predefined and/or prefabricated distance elements based on the articulator data set and the dental situation data set;
• generating a connecting structure data set representing at least a virtual connecting structure arranged between the virtual representation of the dental situation and a virtual representation of the at least one selected distance element;
• and
• generating the 3D-print data set based on the dental situation data set and the connecting structure data set;
• wherein the step of generating the connecting structure data set comprises one or more of the following:
• defining a bite area plane;
• defining at least one cutting plane;
• checking, whether a smoothing of one or more teeth scan boundaries is necessary, and if so, performing said smoothing;
• generating a mesh structure;
• generating a printing base plate.

• and
• generating the 3D-print data set based on the dental situation data set and the connecting structure data set;
• wherein the at least one virtual connecting structure comprises a platform and a printing base plate, wherein a plurality of connecting meshes are created to be arranged between the platform and the printing base plate to connect a lower boundary line of the platform with an upper boundary line of the printing base plate.
