Abstract
The invention provides a method for creating a physical teeth model. The method comprises the following steps: providing a virtual three dimensional (3D) representation of a patient's dentition that comprises at least a region of the teeth that includes a tooth stump on which a crown is to be fitted or a region on to which a bridge is to be fitted; and preparing a physical model of the jaws of a subject from a blank, based on information from said virtual 3D image.
Claims13
A method for creating a physical teeth model comprising:
- providing a virtual three dimensional (3D) representation of a patient's dentition that comprises at least a region of the teeth that includes a tooth stump on which a crown is to be fitted or a region onto which a bridge is to be fitted;
- creating a 3D data file of a patient's jaws and of the spatial relationship between said jaws in occlusion;
- and
- preparing a physical model of the jaws of said patient's dentition from a blank, based on information from said virtual 3D representation, wherein said physical model is produced with an alignment arrangement to permit proper occlusion alignment of the jaws of said model, based on said 3D data file.
