Publication number: 20210353153Abstract: A processing device receives a plurality of intraoral scans of a dental arch. The processing device determines, from the plurality of intraoral scans, a first set of intraoral scans that depict a restorative object and a second set of intraoral scans that fail to depict any restorative object. The processing device generates a multi-resolution three-dimensional model of the dental arch, wherein a first portion of the multi-resolution three-dimensional model is generated from the first set of intraoral scans, has a first resolution and represents the restorative object, and wherein a second portion of the multi-resolution three-dimensional model is generated from the second set of intraoral scans, has a second resolution and represents a remainder of the dental arch, wherein the first resolution is greater than the second resolution.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Ofer Saphier, Pavel Agniashvili, Moti Ben-Dov, Ran Katz, Avi Kopelman, Maxim Volgin, Doron Malka, Avraham Zulti, Pavel Veryovkin, Maayan Moshe, Ido Tishel, Adi Levin, Shai Farkash, Inna Karapetyan, Dina Bova, Edi Fridman, Jonathan Coslovsky

Publication number: 20210100642Abstract: In embodiments, a processing device detects a margin line in a model of a preparation from one or more images. The processing device determines, for each segment of a plurality of segments of the margin line, a quality score for the segment. The processing device determines that a segment of the margin line has a quality score that is below a quality threshold, wherein the segment of the margin line was generated based on a first set of images. Responsive to determining that the segment of the margin line has the quality score that is below the quality threshold, the processing devices updates the three-dimensional model of the preparation by replacing a portion of the three-dimensional model associated with the segment of the margin line with image data from at least one of a new image or a second set of images.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2020Publication date: April 8, 2021Inventors: Assaf Weiss, Maxim Volgin, Pavel Agniashvili, Chad Clayton Brown, Alexander Raskhodchikov, Avi Kopelman, Michael Sabina, Moti Ben-Dov, Shai Farkash, Igor Makiewsky, Maayan Moshe, Ofer Saphier

Publication number: 20210100643Abstract: In embodiments, a processing device generates a three-dimensional model of a dental site from scan data, the three-dimensional model comprising a representation of a tooth, wherein a portion of the three-dimensional model comprises an interfering surface that obscures a portion of the tooth. The processing device receives or generates an image of the tooth, wherein the image depicts the interfering surface. The processing device processes the image to generate a modified image, wherein the portion of the tooth that was obscured by the interfering surface in the image is shown in the modified image. The processing device updates the three-dimensional model of the dental site by replacing, using the modified image, the portion of the three-dimensional model that comprises the interfering surface that obscures the portion of the tooth, wherein the portion of the tooth that was obscured in the three-dimensional model is shown in an updated three-dimensional model.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2020Publication date: April 8, 2021Inventors: Assaf Weiss, Maxim Volgin, Pavel Agniashvili, Chad Clayton Brown, Alexander Raskhodchikov, Avi Kopelman, Michael Sabina, Moti Ben-Dov, Shai Farkash, Igor Makiewsky, Maayan Moshe, Ofer Saphier

Publication number: 20210059796Abstract: Methods and systems are described that mark and/or correct margin lines and/or other features of dental sites. In one example a three-dimensional model of a dental site is generated from intraoral scan data of the dental site, the three-dimensional model comprising a representation of a preparation tooth. An image of the preparation tooth is received or generated, the image comprising a height map. Data from the image is processed using a trained machine learning model that has been trained to identify margin lines of preparation teeth, wherein the trained machine learning model outputs a probability map comprising, for each pixel in the image, a probability that the pixel depicts a margin line. The three-dimensional model of the dental site is then updated by marking the margin line on the representation of the preparation tooth based on the probability map.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2020Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: Assaf Weiss, Maxim Volgin, Pavel Agniashvili, Chad Clayton Brown, Alexander Raskhodchikov, Avi Kopelman, Michael Sabina, Moti Ben-Dov, Shai Farkash, Igor Makiewsky, Maayan Moshe, Ofer Saphier
