Abstract
Systems, methods, electronic devices and computer-readable media for charting dental information are described. The method includes generating or retrieving a dental data set including separately-modifiable parameters defining dental information relative to a base parametric model, the parameters providing information for generating signals for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) representation of at least a portion of a dentition represented by the dental data set; receiving an input via the 3D representation; and based on the received input, adjusting at least one of the parameters.
Claims21
A method of charting dental information on an electronic device, the method comprising:
- retrieving, from a storage device, a first dental data set associated with a first time value, the first dental data set representing at least a portion of a dentition at a first period of time corresponding to the first time value, the first dental data set including:
- a set of object identifiers, each object identifier identifying a base three-dimensional (3D) model visually representing an individual tooth or implement, and
- a set of modifiers defining changes to visual aspects of one or more of the base 3D models relative to base parameters;
- receiving at least one input to chart changes to at least the portion of the dentition;
- adjusting at least one of the set of modifiers based on the received input;
- storing a second dental data set including the set of modifiers as adjusted based on the received input, the second dental data set stored in association with a second time value, the second dental data set representing at least the portion of the dentition at a second period of time corresponding to the second time value;
- upon receipt of a request to view a visual representation of at least the portion of the dentition at a requested time, retrieving a requested dental data set associated with a time value corresponding to the requested time;
- and
- generating a 3D representation of at least the portion of the dentition with each base 3D model in at least the portion of the dentition positioned relative to each other in the 3D representation based on the set of modifiers in the requested dental data set.

- adjusting at least one of the set of modifiers based on the received input;
- storing a second dental data set including the set of modifiers as adjusted based on the received input, the second dental data set stored in association with a second time value, the second dental data set representing at least the portion of the dentition at a second period of time corresponding to the second time value;
- upon receipt of a request to view a visual representation of at least the portion of the dentition at a requested time, retrieving a requested dental data set associated with a time value corresponding to the requested time;
- and
- generating a 3D representation of at least the portion of the dentition with each base 3D model in at least the portion of the dentition positioned relative to each other in the 3D representation based on the set of modifiers in the requested dental data set.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium or media having stored thereon computer-readable instructions which when executed by at least one processor configure the at least one processor for:
- retrieving, from a storage device, a first dental data set associated with a first time value, the first dental data set representing at least a portion of a dentition at a first period of time corresponding to the first time value, the first dental data set including:
- a set of object identifiers, each object identifier identifying a base three-dimensional (3D) model visually representing an individual tooth or implement, and
- a set of modifiers defining changes to visual aspects of one or more of the base 3D models relative to base parameters;
- receiving at least one input to chart changes to at least the portion of the dentition;
- adjusting at least one of the set of modifiers based on the received input;
- storing a second dental data set including the set of modifiers as adjusted based on the received input, the second dental data set stored in association with a second time value, the second dental data set representing at least the portion of the dentition at a second period of time corresponding to the second time value;
- upon receipt of a request to view a visual representation of at least the portion of the dentition at a requested time, retrieving a requested dental data set associated with a time value corresponding to the requested time;
- and
- generating a 3D representation of at least the portion of the dentition with each base 3D model in at least the portion of the dentition positioned relative to each other in the 3D representation based on the set of modifiers in the requested dental data set.
