Abstract
In a method of planning a restorative dental treatment for a patient, at least two dental restorations are digitally constructed (20). In the process, an optimum specification (40) for the insertion of the restorations into the mouth of the patient is calculated (30), wherein the optimum specification for the insertion of the restorations comprises an optimum sequence of the restorations to be inserted; if applicable, including optimum insertion paths for the restorations to be inserted.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method for planning a restorative dental treatment for a patient, comprising the steps of:
- digitally constructing at least two dental restorations;
- calculating a specification for the insertion of the at least two restorations into p mouth of the patient, wherein the specification for the insertion of the at least two restorations incudes an order of the at least two restorations to be inserted, if applicable including insertion paths for the at least two restorations to be inserted,
- c. calculating geometries for the at least two restorations,
- d. identifying potential conflicts for possible insertion sequences and if applicable, possible insertion paths, and
- e. outputting an available optimum specification for the insertion of the at least two restorations, wherein the optimum specification allows an insertion of the at least two restorations without conflicts, or repetition of steps c.-e., if no optimum specification is possible.
The method according to claim, wherein the calculation of the optimum specification for the insertion of the at least two restorations accounts for a possible adjustment in the construction of the geometries of the at least two restorations.
