Abstract
A system for developing a dental treatment plan includes a dental treatment plan generator that compares basic jaw measurements with a dataset of human jaw size and motion. The system includes a parametric model of jaw motion divided into representative segments that can be compared to a patient’s jaw measurement to generate a dental treatment plan that reduces interference and need for adjustment during the course of treatment.
Claims17
A computer-implemented method of generating a dental treatment plan, the computer-implemented method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a dataset of human jaw and dentition motion and measurements;
- generating a parametric model of jaw motion based on the dataset of human jaw and dentition motion and measurement;
- identifying a plurality of representative segments of the parametric model of jaw motion;
- evaluating a patient dentition to generate a patient jaw profile, the evaluation including measuring at least one parameter of the patient’s jaw;
- identifying one of the representative segments of the parametric model of jaw motion that is most similar to the patient jaw profile;
- and
- generating the dental treatment plan based on the representative segment of the parametric model of jaw motion.
A system for generating a dental treatment plan comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a treatment plan generator configured to generate a dental treatment plan based on a patient jaw profile;
- the patient jaw profile including at least one measurement of a patient’s jaw size;
- the treatment plan generator including a parametric model of jaw motion based on a dataset of human jaw and dentition motion and measurement;
- the parametric model of jaw motion divided into a plurality of representative segments;
- and
- the treatment plan generator further configured to compare the patient jaw profile to the parametric model of jaw motion to determine which of the representative segments is most similar to the patient jaw profile and to generate the dental treatment plan based on the representative segment identified as most similar to the patient jaw profile.
