SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING A DENTAL RESTORATION

摘要

A system for fabricating a dental restoration to restore a tooth at a restoration site in a dentition of a patient is disclosed. The dentition includes a restoration dental arch and an opposing dental arch. The restoration dental arch include the restoration site and the opposing dental arch is opposite the restoration dental arch. The system includes an impression apparatus, a motion capture apparatus, an interface apparatus, and a restoration design system. The impression apparatus is configured to capture an impression of the dentition of the patient. The motion capture apparatus is configured to capture a plurality of location data points that represent the locations of the opposing dental arch relative to the restoration dental arch. The interference model generation system is configured to generate an interference model for the restoration site. The restoration design system is for designing a restoration using the interference model.

1. A system for fabricating a dental restoration to restore a tooth at a restoration site in a dentition of a patient, wherein the dentition includes a restoration dental arch and an opposing dental arch, the restoration dental arch including the restoration site and the opposing dental arch being opposite the restoration dental arch, comprising:
an impression apparatus configured to capture an impression of the dentition of the patient, the portion of the dentition including the restoration site; a motion capture apparatus configured to capture a plurality of location data points, the location data points representing the locations of the opposing dental arch relative to the restoration dental arch as the dentition moves between a plurality of bite positions; an interference model generation system configured to generate an interference model for the restoration site, wherein the interference model includes an interference surface, the interference surface corresponding to the locations of a portion of the opposing dental arch in at least a portion of the plurality of the locations represented by the plurality of location data points; and a restoration design system for designing a restoration using the interference model.
