Abstract: A computer-implemented method of routing a dental restoration design case to a user account includes receiving new dental restoration design cases associated with metadata describes design requirements. The method includes parsing the metadata to identify design factors indicating the requirements and storing the new cases in a main queue. The method also includes receiving login information, identifying the user account for the design user and retrieving attribute data associated with the account. The attribute data describes a design skill level of the design user. The method includes evaluating the design factors of the new dental restoration design cases in the main queue based on the attribute data of the account to determine a dental restoration design case in the main queue that satisfies the attribute data of the account and routing the determined dental restoration design case to a user queue associated with the user account.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for machining dental prostheses including, over a network, receiving data concerning a dental prosthesis, selecting a material from which to machine the dental prosthesis, and determining machining instructions for machining the dental prosthesis based on a nominal enlargement factor corresponding to the selected material. The method can also include storing the machining instructions, receiving a request from a milling machine for a dental prosthesis to be milled by the milling machine, and associating the dental prosthesis with the milling machine. The method can also include selecting a material blank comprised of the selected material, determining a material blank enlargement factor of the selected material blank, modifying the machining instructions according to a difference between the nominal enlargement factor and the material blank enlargement factor, and machining the dental prosthesis according to the modified machining instructions.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of routing a dental restoration design case based on a quality control (QC) result includes routing a dental restoration design case to a QC user queue for a QC user. The dental restoration design case has been designed by a design user using a design device. The method includes detecting that the QC user has rejected the dental restoration design case designed by the design user and receiving an annotated design of the case specifying at least one design error of the dental restoration design case. The method includes detecting whether the design user is available, and responsive to detecting that the design user is available, returning the rejected dental restoration design case associated with annotated design of the case to a design user queue for the design user.
