  • Publication number: 20230346513
    Abstract: Systems and methods of simulating dental treatments are disclosed. A method may include capturing a first 2D image of a patient's face, including the patient's teeth, building a parametric 3D model of the patient's teeth and gingiva based on the first 2D image, developing a simulated outcome of a dental treatment of the patient's teeth by rendering the parametric 3D model with the patient's teeth in one or more positions and/or orientations corresponding to the treatment goals of the dental treatment plan, and rendering a second 2D image of the patient's face with gingiva and teeth according to a simulated outcome of the dental treatment plan. As noted herein, the dental treatment plan may include orthodontic and/or restorative elements. The simulated outcome may correspond to estimated outcomes and/or intended outcomes of the dental treatment plan.

  • Patent number: 11651494
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses (including systems and devices), including computer-implemented methods for segmenting, correcting and/or modifying a three-dimensional (3D) model of a subject's oral cavity to determine individual components such as teeth, gingiva, tongue, palate, etc., that may be selective and/or collectively digitally manipulated. In some implementations, artificial intelligence uses libraries of labeled 2D images and 3D dental models to learn how to segment a 3D dental model of a subject's oral cavity using 2D images, height map and/or other data and projection values that relate the 2D images to the 3D model. As noted herein, the dental classes can include a variety of intra-oral and extra-oral objects and can be represented as binary values, discrete values, a continuum of height map data, etc. In some implementations, several dental classes are predicted concurrently.

  • Publication number: 20230146779
    Abstract: An adaptive measurement and calculation method for luminescence values of a chemiluminescence analyzer is provided. A fixed step length is adopted for continuous multi-point reading to obtain a complete correspondence diagram of detection positions and luminescence values. Two nearest luminescence values on the left and right sides of a maximum value are selected, the nearest luminescence values on both sides are connected to form a straight line, and an intersection of two straight lines is taken as an approximate maximum luminescence value. The measurement and calculation method can adapt to random positions of the detected object, and stably obtain the approximate maximum luminescence value, thus reducing increased complex hardware design and cost to confirm accuracy of the measurement position.
