<p>A system and methods for obtaining and processing data requisite for fabrication of a dental restorative prosthesis. A dental temporary is fashioned at a site of patient treatment, and fitted in the patient's mouth. The temporary is then characterized by three-dimensional digital data based on distances measured by means of three- dimensional co-ordinate measuring equipment. The three-dimensional data are transmitted to a fabrication site, where a prosthesis may be fabricated. Additionally, information based upon the three-dimensional digital data characterizing the temporary may also be provided to a dentist at the site of patient treatment. The prosthesis design may be edited prior to fabrication.</p> |
