A digital image merging system for producing an artifact-corrected image of a negative jaw impression of a jaw of a patient, the system comprising:
- a first input adapted to receive a first digital image of said negative impression of said patient's jaw and said patient's jaw, including said artifacts resulting from the presence of existing metal in at least one of the patient's teeth or jaw;
- a second input adapted to receive a second digital image of said negative impression of said patient's jaw;
- and
- a digital merging unit adapted to receive and compare said first and second digital images to produce an artifact-corrected computer representation of said negative impression and said patient's jaw.
