Abstract: A filter candle (1) in a backflush filter housing (2) has a cylindrical filter wall (3) and includes an internal hollow flushing element (8) divided into a flushing section (9) having a flushing port (10) for backflushing and a turbine section (11) for rotation of the flushing element. The flushing section tapers from a first end to a second end. The turbine section tapers from a first end to a second end and has turbine blades arranged on the outside. The first end of the flushing section is connected to the first end of the turbine section at a transition position (21). An outside of the flushing element forms a cylindrical restriction at the transition position so that the part of the cylindrical filter wall of the filter candle extending at the turbine section may be backflushed by means of fluid also driving the turbine.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a method for generating a digital three-dimensional model representing development in dental condition for a tooth is disclosed. The method includes obtaining, at different timepoints, a first digital 3D model of a patient's set of teeth including first texture data and a second digital 3D model of the patient's set of teeth including second texture data. The first digital 3D model including the first texture data and second digital 3D model including the second texture data are placed in a common texture space by uniformizing texture. Lastly, the digital three-dimensional model representing development in dental condition is generated based on a comparison of the first texture data and the second texture data of corresponding regions in the first digital 3D model and the second digital 3D model placed in the common texture space.
