Device for the measurement of dental objects

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the optical measurement of dental objects (30) with the use of topometric measurement procedures, having a rotatably mounted object receptacle (18) for holding the object (30) to be measured, a projector (11) for the projection of structured lighting patterns onto the object (30), a detection unit (12) for the detection of lighting structures projected onto the object (30), and an evaluation unit (20) for the calculation of the spatial structure of the object (30) to be measured. In order to improve operability, with the possibility of measuring individual parts of any geometry, the object receptacle (18) is mounted so as to be additionally pivotable around a pivot axis (B) arranged perpendicularly to the axis of rotation (A).
