Abstract: Described herein are methods and apparatuses to obtain an image, or a set of images, of a patient's teeth from one or more predetermined viewing angles. These methods and apparatuses may include the use an overlay comprising an outline of teeth for each predetermined viewing angle. The overlay may be used for automatically capturing, focusing and/or illuminating the teeth. Also described herein are methods and apparatuses for using a series of images of the patient's teeth including a set of predetermined views to determine if a patient is a candidate for an orthopedic procedure.

Abstract: A processing device receives first intraoral scan data of a first segment of a dental site and second intraoral scan data of a second segment of the dental site that does not stitch to the first intraoral scan data of the first segment of the dental site. The processing device generates a first virtual model of the first segment using the first intraoral scan data, and further generates a second virtual model of the second segment using the second intraoral scan data. The processing device arranges a spatial relationship of the first virtual model and the second virtual model.

Abstract: A scanning system comprises a handheld intraoral scanner configured to capture scan data of a dental site when operated in a scan mode, a computing device to generate a virtual 3D model of the dental site from the captured scan data; and a display to display the virtual 3D model. The scanner comprises one or more input devices configured to provide manual interaction with the computing device, where: a first type of activation of the one or more input devices causes the scanning system to enter the scan mode; and a second type of activation of the one or more input devices causes the scanning system to enter a second mode, wherein the computing device is to present a menu comprising menu options on the display while the scanning system is in the second mode, and wherein the scanner is usable to select among the presented menu options.

Abstract: An example method of managing medical records using multi-dimensional cryptographically-secured datastores comprises: storing digital representations of dental anatomy utilizing a two-dimensional blockchain structure includes: causing, by a computer system, a digital representation of dental anatomy to be stored at an external storage location; appending, to a first data block of an auxiliary blockchain, an identifier of the external storage location; appending, to a current data block of a main blockchain, a reference to a first data block of the auxiliary blockchain; appending, to the current data block of the main blockchain, a data item of the digital representation of dental anatomy; appending, to the current data block of the main blockchain, a reference to a preceding data block of the main blockchain; and broadcasting the current data block of the main blockchain to a plurality of blockchain nodes.

Abstract: A processing device receives a first intraoral image of a first region of a dental site and a second intraoral image of a second region of the dental site during an intraoral scan session. The processing device determines that the first intraoral does not overlap with the second intraoral image. The processing device registers the first intraoral image to the second intraoral image in a three-dimensional space according to a historical template, wherein the historical template is a virtual model of the dental site as generated from additional intraoral images taken during a previous intraoral scan session.

Abstract: A method includes: displaying to a display a first indication of a first segment of a patient's oral cavity to be scanned; receiving a first user input via a hand held intraoral scanning device; causing the hand held intraoral scanning device to enter a scan mode; receiving one or more intraoral scans of the first segment; generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the first segment based on the one or more intraoral scans; displaying to the display the 3D model of the first segment; receiving a second user input via the intraoral scanning device after receiving the one or more intraoral scans of the first segment; and displaying to the display an overlay including a first element corresponding to third user input for navigating to a next segment and a second element corresponding to fourth user input for navigating to a previous segment.

Abstract: During an intraoral scan session, a processing device receives a plurality of intraoral images of a dental site. The processing device determines that a historical template of the dental site is existent and registers a first intraoral image of the plurality of intraoral images to the historical template at a first region of the dental site depicted in the historical template. The processing device may register one or more remaining intraoral images of the plurality of intraoral images to the historical template at a second region of the dental site depicted in the historical template. The first region may be separated from the second region.

Abstract: During a medical scan session, a computing device executing a medical scan application receives a touch input from a touch sensitive medical scanning device. The computing device determines whether the touch input comprises at least one of a hold gesture or a swipe gesture. The computing device then performs a first function responsive to determining that the touch input comprises a hold gesture. The computing device then performs a second function responsive to determining that the touch input comprises a swipe gesture.
