System and method for maximum intercuspation articulation

A method for maximum intercuspation articulation, comprising:

• receiving virtual modeling geometrics of two opposing dental models as an input, wherein the two opposing dental models include an upper dental model of a patient and a lower dental model of the patient;
• detecting, via processing circuitry of a server, one or more intersection regions between the upper dental model and the lower dental model;
• performing, via the processing circuitry, a simulation on the two opposing dental models, wherein the simulation includes applying simulated physics rules at the two opposing dental models;
• repeating the detection of the one or more intersection regions and the simulation to generate a maximum intercuspation alignment of the two opposing dental models;
• marking, via the processing circuitry, the one or more intersection regions on the maximum intercuspation alignment;
• and
• outputting, via the processing circuitry, the maximum intercuspation alignment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• receive virtual modeling geometrics of two opposing dental models as an input, wherein the two opposing dental models include an upper dental model of a patient and a lower dental model of the patient;
• detect one or more intersection regions between the upper dental model and the lower dental model;
• perform a simulation on the two opposing dental models, wherein the simulation includes applying simulated physics rules at the two opposing dental models;
• repeat the detection of the one or more intersection regions and the simulation to generate a maximum intercuspation alignment of the two opposing dental models;
• marking the one or more intersection regions on the maximum intercuspation alignment;
• and
• output the maximum intercuspation alignment.
