Digital tooth model replacement

A computer program product for replacing one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models of a first set of three-dimensional digital templates for artificial teeth by one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models of a second set of three-dimensional digital templates for artificial teeth,

• the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a processor of a computer device to cause the computer device to:
• receive a three-dimensional digital anatomic model of an oral anatomic structure of a patient and the one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models of the first set of three-dimensional digital templates for artificial teeth arranged with respect to the three-dimensional digital anatomic model at one or more tooth positions with one or more tooth orientations,
• the one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models comprising one or more dental key structures marked with one or more first identifiers identifying the one or more dental key structures,
• select one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models of the one or more arranged first three-dimensional digital tooth models for a replacement,
• replace the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models by the one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models of the second set of three-dimensional digital templates for artificial teeth,
• the one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models comprising one or more dental key structures marked with one or more second identifiers identifying the one or more dental key structures, the replacing comprising:
• arranging the one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models with respect to the three-dimensional digital anatomic model at the one or more tooth positions of the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models and with the one or more tooth orientations of the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models,
• identifying the one or more dental key structures of the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models using the one or more first identifiers,
• identifying the one or more dental key structures of the arranged one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models using the one or more second identifiers,
• adjusting one or more shapes of the one or more arranged second three-dimensional digital tooth models, such that the identified one or more dental key structures of the adjusted one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models match the one or more identified dental key structures of the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models.

A computer device for replacing one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models of a first set of three-dimensional digital templates for artificial teeth by one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models of a second set of three-dimensional digital templates for artificial teeth,

• the computer device comprising a processor and a memory storing program instructions executable by the processor, execution of the program instructions by the processor causing the computer device to:
• receive a three-dimensional digital anatomic model of an oral anatomic structure of a patient with the one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models of the first set of three-dimensional digital templates for artificial teeth arranged with respect to the three-dimensional digital anatomic model at one or more tooth positions with one or more tooth orientations,
• the one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models comprising one or more dental key structures marked with one or more first identifiers identifying the one or more dental key structures,
• select one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models of the one or more arranged first three-dimensional digital tooth models for a replacement,
• replace the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models by the one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models of the second set of three-dimensional digital templates for artificial teeth,
• the one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models comprising one or more dental key structures marked with one or more second identifiers identifying the one or more dental key structures, the replacing comprising:
• arranging the one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models with respect to the three-dimensional digital anatomic model at the one or more tooth positions of the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models and with the one or more tooth orientations of the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models,
• identifying the one or more dental key structures of the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models using the one or more first identifiers,
• identifying the one or more dental key structures of the arranged one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models using the one or more second identifiers,
• adjusting one or more shapes of the arranged one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models, such that the identified one or more dental key structures of the adjusted one or more second three-dimensional digital tooth models match the one or more identified dental key structures of the selected one or more first three-dimensional digital tooth models.
