Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for designing a dental splint for an individual. For example, a method may include obtaining a digital 3D model of a dentition of the individual. An insertion direction is determined for the dentition. The method includes determining a height of contour for one or more teeth of the dentition based on the insertion direction. A cut line of the dental splint is identified based on a retention amount as a distance apically beyond the height of contour of the one or more teeth of the dentition.
Claims15
A method for designing a dental splint for an individual, comprising:
- obtaining a digital 3D model of a dentition of the individual;
- determining an insertion direction for the dentition;
- determining a height of contour for one or more teeth of the dentition based on the insertion direction;
- and
- identifying a cut line of the dental splint based on a retention amount as a distance apically beyond the height of contour of the one or more teeth of the dentition.
A system for designing a dental splint for an individual, comprising:
- a storage device;
- a processor in electronic communication with the storage device, wherein the processor is configured to:
- obtain a 3D model of a dentition of the individual;
- determine an insertion direction for the dentition;
- determine a height of contour of one or more teeth of the dentition based on the insertion direction;
- and
- identify a cut line of the dental splint based on a retention amount as a distance apically beyond the height of contour of the one or more teeth of the dentition.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a digital 3D model of a dentition of the individual;
- determining an insertion direction for the dentition;
- determining a height of contour for one or more teeth of the dentition based on the insertion direction;
- and
- identifying a cut line of the dental splint based on a retention amount as a distance apically beyond the height of contour of the one or more teeth of the dentition.
