METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECONSTRUCTING DENTAL STRUCTURES

The invention relates to a method and system for reconstructing dental structures, such as dents or residual dents which are at least partly covered by soft tissue, such as gingiva, in a region of interest, the method comprising: providing (201) a surface reflection scan of the dental structures, pr...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method and system for reconstructing dental structures, such as dents or residual dents which are at least partly covered by soft tissue, such as gingiva, in a region of interest, the method comprising: providing (201) a surface reflection scan of the dental structures, providing (202) a sub-surface reflection scan of the dental structures, fusing (203-208) the surface reflection scan and the sub-surface reflection scan in order to reconstruct the dental structures, wherein the fusing comprises: segmenting (203) dental tissue from non-dental tissue based on the sub-surface reflection scan, generating (203) a dental model based on the segmented dental tissue, and fusing the surface reflection scan (240) and the dental model (260). The system and method allows for a reconstruction of dental structures which does not rely on gingiva management and which provides for a time efficient data acquisition.
