Abstract
The invention relates to a method for configurating a split denture. A digital 3D model of the denture comprising a plurality of teeth is provided. The digital 3D model of the denture is split into a digital 3D model of a base part and a digital 3D model of a teeth part. The base part comprises a first artificial gingiva portion. Further, the base part is configured to support the teeth part. The teeth part comprises the plurality of teeth of the denture and a second gingiva portion. The teeth part is configured to be mounted on the base part. The digital 3D model of the split denture is provided for generating at least one of the base part and the teeth part.
Claims20
A method for configurating a split denture, the method comprising:
- providing a digital 3D model of a denture, the denture comprising a plurality of teeth,
- splitting the digital 3D model of the denture into a digital 3D model of a base part and a digital 3D model of a teeth part,
- the base part being configured to support the teeth part,
- the teeth part comprising the plurality of teeth of the denture and a gingiva portion, the teeth part being configured to be mounted on the base part,
- providing the digital 3D model of the split denture for generating at least one of the base part and the teeth part.
A system for configurating a split denture, the system comprising a computer device with a processor operatively coupled to a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable program instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the system to:
- provide a digital 3D model of a denture, the denture comprising a plurality of teeth,
- split the digital 3D model of the denture into a digital 3D model of a base part and a digital 3D model of a teeth part,
- the base part being configured to support the teeth part,
- the teeth part comprising the plurality of teeth of the denture and a gingiva portion, the teeth part being configured to be mounted on the base part,
- provide the digital 3D model of the split denture for generating at least one of the base part and the teeth part.
A computer program product comprising a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program instructions embodied therewith for configurating a split denture, wherein execution of the computer-readable program instructions by a processor causes the processor to control a computer device to:
- provide a digital 3D model of a denture, the denture comprising a plurality of teeth,
- split the digital 3D model of the denture into a digital 3D model of a base part and a digital 3D model of a teeth part,
- the base part being configured to support the teeth part,
- the teeth part comprising the plurality of teeth of the denture and a gingiva portion, the teeth part being configured to be mounted on the base part,
- provide the digital 3D model of the split denture for generating at least one of the base part and the teeth part.
