Estimating the term…
A system and method are taught for designing a change to a virtual dental model comprising: a virtual articulator representing a three dimensional model of a patient's upper and lower dental arches including data defining a constraint of motion between the upper and lower dental arches; a simulation analyzer to simulate the motion using the three dimensional model and analyze resulting contacts on portions of the upper and lower arches during the movement to provide contact data; and a designing module to design one of a virtual prosthesis for one of said upper and lower arches and a virtual desired dental modification using the contact data acquired from the simulation analyzer and the virtual articulator.
A system for designing a virtual dental model comprising:
A method for determining a satisfactory change to a virtual dental model comprising:
A method for correlating an upper dental arch to a lower dental arch comprising:
A computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave comprising data resulting from one of simulating movement of a virtual dental model while respecting motion constraint parameters to identify points of contact between portions of an upper and a lower dental arch and designing a change to said dental model taking into consideration said contact using a computer aided design system.
