    Abstract: A dental slurry is used with a digital camera to create a three dimensional model of target teeth. The dental slurry includes granular particles suspended in a pharmacologically acceptable carrier. The slurry is used to cover target teeth with a large number of particles. Overlapping digital images are taken of the target teeth and provided to a computer. An algorithm is used to find a correspondence for each feature in the overlapping digital images by error analysis. Once enough correspondences are found, the algorithm creates a three dimensional electronic model from the plurality of two dimensional images based on a best fit error analysis.
