Method for Capturing Surface Geometries

摘要

In a method for capturing the surface geometry of at least one part of an object, in particular of intraoral structures, a physical impression is first made of at least one part of the object. The surface geometry of the physical impression is captured by a scanner, either directly, or indirectly by a positive impression, during an initial scan. A virtual representation of the physical impression is thereby created, which is at least temporarily recorded on a storage medium. Additionally, the method includes:
the virtual representation is read by the storage medium and made available,performing a second scan of the object, in which at least one section of the object which was altered or not captured by the first scan of the physical impression is captured,updating the virtual representation of the objects by data gained through the second scan,recording the altered virtual representation.

1. Method for capturing the surface geometry of at least one part of an object, in particular of intraoral structures, from which a physical impression of at least one part of the object is first made, after which the surface geometry of the physical impression is then either directly, or indirectly via a positive impression, captured by means of a scanner during an initial scan, whereby a virtual representation of the physical impression is created, which is at least temporarily recorded on a storage medium, the method comprising:
uploading and providing the virtual representation from the storage medium, performing a second scan of the object, during which at least one section of the object which was altered or not captured by the first scan of the physical impression is captured, updating the virtual representation of the object with data which were gained by the second scan, recording the altered virtual representation on a storage medium.
