Viewing trajectory for 3D dental model

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a plurality of intraoral scans of a dental site generated by an intraoral scanner;
• generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the dental site using the plurality of intraoral scans;
• determining one or more intraoral areas of interest (AOIs) on the dental site, wherein the one or more AOIs comprise at least one of a preparation tooth, a cracked tooth, a lesion, an area of a malocclusion, an area of tooth wear, a caries, an area of receding gums, or a restorative object;
• processing the 3D model and the one or more AOIs to determine a viewing trajectory of a virtual camera that, when followed, shows the 3D model of the dental site from a plurality of views of the virtual camera, wherein the viewing trajectory comprises one or more views of the one or more AOIs, wherein determining the viewing trajectory comprises determining, for each view of the plurality of views, positions, orientations, and magnification settings of the virtual camera, and wherein determining the viewing trajectory further comprises determining speeds for transitioning between the plurality of views;
• and
• presenting the 3D model of the dental site according to the determined viewing trajectory of the virtual camera.
