Abstract
A method and system provide segmenting a digital tooth in a 3D digital model of dentition.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of segmenting a digital tooth in a 3D digital model of dentition, comprising:
- receiving a facial region and a lingual region of a digital tooth in a digital model;
- determining a separation region oriented through the facial region and the lingual region;
- determining a first segment path along the digital tooth on a first side of the separation region;
- determining a second segment path along the digital tooth on a second side of the separation region;
- and
- determining a digital surface of the digital tooth between the first segment path and the second segment path.

A system for segmenting a digital tooth in a 3D digital model of dentition, comprising:
- a processor;
- a computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by the processor to perform steps comprising:
- receiving a facial region and a lingual region of a digital tooth in a digital model;
- determining a separation region oriented through the facial region and the lingual region;
- determining a first segment path along the digital tooth on a first side of the separation region;
- determining a second segment path along the digital tooth on a second side of the separation region;
- and
- determining a digital surface of the digital tooth between the first segment path and the second segment path.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable computer program instructions for segmenting a digital tooth in a 3D digital model of dentition, the computer program instructions including instructions for:
- receiving a facial region and a lingual region of a digital tooth in a digital model;
- determining a separation region oriented through the facial region and the lingual region;
- determining a first segment path along the digital tooth on a first side of the separation region;
- determining a second segment path along the digital tooth on a second side of the separation region;
- and
- determining a digital surface of the digital tooth between the first segment path and the second segment path.
