Abstract: Methods and apparatuses (including devices and systems, such as intraoral scanners and software) for analyzing images of a subject's teeth. In some examples these methods may include examining the same teeth or tooth regions across different times and/or different imaging modalities, including but not limited to visible light, infrared, florescent, etc. Also described herein are methods and apparatuses for using a single, master, control for automatically or semi-automatically simultaneously adjusting multiple imaging parameters across multiple images of a region taken with different imaging modalities and/or at different times.

Abstract: Remote progress tracking of orthodontic treatment may include receiving a 3D digital model of a patient's dentition including the patient's teeth. A 3D digital model of an impression of occlusal surfaces of the patient's teeth may be generated. The teeth of the 3D digital model of the patient's dentition may be registered to the position and orientation of the patient's teeth in the 3D digital model of the impression of the occlusal surfaces of the patient's teeth. An updated 3D digital model of the patient's teeth may be generated based on the registration.

Abstract: Systems and computer-readable media for preparing a dental restoration having optical properties matching optical properties of a patient's tooth may be configured to generate a volumetric model of at least a portion of the patient's tooth from a three-dimensional (3D) intraoral scan including both near-IR wavelength data and visible light wavelength data providing both an accurate outer surface of the patient's tooth and an internal structure of a region of enamel extending from the outer surface of the patient's tooth to the patient's dentine.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for taking, using and displaying three-dimensional (3D) volumetric models of a patient's dental arch. A 3D volumetric model may include surface (e.g., color) information as well as information on internal structure, such as near-infrared (near-IR) transparency values for internal structures including enamel and dentin.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for generating a model of a subject's teeth. Described herein are intraoral scanning methods and apparatuses for generating a three-dimensional model of a subject's intraoral region (e.g., teeth) including both surface features and internal features. These methods and apparatuses may be used for identifying and evaluating lesions, caries and cracks in the teeth. Any of these methods and apparatuses may use minimum scattering coefficients and/or segmentation to form a volumetric model of the teeth.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or computer-readable media described herein provide technical solutions to the highly technical problems of machine generation of dental restorations. In particular, these systems, methods and/or computer readable media may provide technical solutions to aid in the creation of dental restorations that more closely resemble a natural tooth (including its internal optical structure). These systems, methods and/or computer readable media may help in virtually rendering a tooth, including its internal optical structure, and apply these renderings (e.g., digital models) to the fabrication of the dental restoration.
