Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating a computer model of one or more teeth by receiving a digital data set of meshes representing the teeth; creating a parametric representation of the digital data set; and displaying the computer model of the teeth using the parametric representation. The model can be modified or transmitted for viewing or for fabricating dental appliances.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for generating a computer model of one or more teeth, comprising:
- receiving as input a digital data set of meshes representing the teeth;
- creating a parametric representation of the digital data set;
- displaying the computer model of the teeth using the parametric representation and
- modifying the displayed computer model to correspondingly modify the parametric representation.
