Abstract: A method, system and computer readable storage media for proposing and visualizing orthodontic treatments. A patient may use a mobile device such as a smart phone to quickly and inexpensively visualize an orthodontic treatment for misaligned teeth and overlay it on a 3D model of the face and jaw, with a depth sensor being used to detect depth information. The orthodontic treatment may also be visualized in an augmented manner for a clinician. 3D data of the orthodontic treatment may be used for further analysis or fabrication of a treatment appliance.

Abstract: A method, system and a computer readable storage media for operating dental machines through an augmented reality control interface A hands free interface may enable the control of a dental machine during dental treatment by using dexterous parts of the body other than the upper limbs (e.g. by using the lower limbs) on a first user/control interface to send instructions corresponding to a second user/control interface that is different from the first user/control interface.

Abstract: A method, system and computer readable storage media for guiding an intra-oral scan utilizing augmented reality. By visualizing a scan strategy in a field of view of a clinician during an intra-oral scanning scan procedure, a need to monitor the progress of the intra-oral scan on a separate monitor may be eliminated or reduced in order to save time.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically providing visual feedback about a quality of data collected during intra-oral scanning Images or light patterns are projected onto an object such as teeth for 3D measurement and for relaying feedback about a quality of the 3D measurement to a user. In this way unsuccessful registrations surface areas of the teeth that have not been acquired yet may be corrected by informing the user to repeat scans at corresponding locations in the intra-oral cavity.

Abstract: A system for visualizing patient stress or discomfort during dental treatment. By visualizing a patients changing stress conditions during treatment, a clinician may react accordingly such as by stopping a treatment activity, slowing a treatment activity, refreshing anesthesia, etc. in order to improve the patients experience.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for determining the color of teeth or tooth surfaces, wherein the system comprises a 2D or 3D camera and an attachment on said camera, which sets a geometry of a captured image in such a way that, compared to capturing an image without the attachment, the distance, spatial angle and orientation of tooth surfaces relative to the camera are restricted. The attachment according to the invention can in particular be fitted to the camera in a simple manner.

Abstract: In a method for incorporating photographic facial images and/or films of a person into the preparation of odontological and/or cosmetic dental treatments and/or restorations for said person, the photographic facial images and/or films are produced using the camera function of a smart device. The user is guided through the production of the facial images and/or films with the aid of an application for the smart device, and the produced images and/or films are incorporated into software for a computer-assisted design of the treatments and/or restorations.
