ANATOMY DRIVEN COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF DENTAL RESTORATIONS FOR TREATMENT OF DENTAL PATHOLOGIES

A method for creating a digital dental restoration model. The method includes receiving a three-dimensional virtual model of oral structures of a patient, receiving classification data classifying an oral situation of the patient, and determining a three-dimensional (3D) geometry that defines a surface anatomy of the digital dental restoration. The method further includes automatically filtering, based on the determined 3D geometry, a set of possible first restoration design variables by restricting respective first restoration design variables to be compatible with the determined 3D geometry, and receiving an input that identifies a selected first restoration design variable from the filtered set of first restoration design variables.
