Abstract
Presented herein are techniques methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable storage media for library selection in dental prosthesis design. Embodiments include presenting two or more dental morphology libraries for use in a dental plan and receiving a selection of one or more tooth morphologies from one of the presented dental morphology libraries. The selected tooth morphologies can then be placed in the dental plan at particular tooth positions. An operator can also replace all tooth morphologies in a dental plan with those of a particular library or “mix and match” tooth morphologies from multiple libraries in a dental plan.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for library selection in dental prosthesis design, comprising:
- presenting, via a computer-based interface, two or more dental morphology libraries for use in a dental plan, said computer-based interface running on one or more computer processors;
- receiving filtering information for the dental morphology libraries, wherein receiving filter information for the dental morphology libraries comprises receiving filter information selected from the group consisting of company, arch, position, and library;
- receiving via the computer-based interface a selection of one or more tooth morphologies from among the tooth morphologies in a particular dental morphology library, said particular dental morphology library being selected from among the two or more dental morphology libraries;
- receiving via the computer-based interface placement information in the dental plan for the one or more tooth morphologies;
- and
- placing the one or more tooth morphologies in the dental plan.
A system for library selection in dental prosthesis design, comprising:
- one or more computer processors configured to:
- present, via a computer-based interface, two or more dental morphology libraries for use in a dental plan, said dental plan being stored in one or more memories coupled to the one or more computer processors;
- receive, via the computer-based interface, a selection of one or more tooth morphologies from among the tooth morphologies in a particular dental morphology library, said particular dental morphology library being selected from among the two or more dental morphology libraries;
- receive filtering formation for the dental morphology libraries wherein receiving filter information for the dental morphology libraries comprises receiving filter information selected from the group consisting of company, arch, position, and library;
- receive, via the computer-based interface, placement information in the dental plan for the one or more tooth morphologies;
- and
- place the one or more tooth morphologies in the dental plan by, at least in part, modifying data in the one or more memories.
A non-transistory computer-readable storage media for library selection in dental prosthesis design, said non-transistory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions, said instructions operable to execute on a computer system, said instructions when executing on the computer system performing a method comprising:
- presenting, via a computer-based interface, two or more dental morphology libraries for use in a dental plan;
- receiving via the computer-based interface a selection of one or more tooth morphologies from among the tooth morphologies in a particular dental morphology library, said particular dental morphology library being selected from among the two or more dental morphology libraries;
- receiving filtering information for the dental morphology libraries, wherein receiving filter information for the dental morphology libraries comprises receiving filter information selected from the group consisting of company, arch, position, and library;
- receiving via the computer-based interface placement information in the dental plan for the one or more tooth morphologies;
- and
- placing the one or more tooth morphologies in the dental plan.
