    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for designing a dental prosthesis. A first step of the method may be to obtain a digital 3D representation of a surface, the surface including at least a part of a preparation surface adapted to receive the dental prosthesis, wherein the preparation surface includes a visible part and a hidden part. A second step of the method may be to determine at least one part of a surface of the dental prosthesis using a statistical design model, wherein the at least one part is determined independent of any knowledge or estimate of the hidden part of the preparation surface. A final step of the method may be to design the dental prosthesis wherein the surface of the dental prosthesis includes the at least one part.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for generating an edge curve to facilitate manufacture of at least a portion of a dental device is disclosed. The method includes identifying at least one tooth reference point for each of at least two teeth on a dental model; identifying at least one offset point corresponding to each of the at least one tooth reference points such that the at least one offset point is on a gingival surface of the dental model and located outside an interproximal area; and generating the edge curve by connecting the offset points such that the edge curve is outside the interproximal area and on the gingival surface.

    Abstract: A method for generating a digital 3D representation of at least a part of an intraoral cavity, the method including recording a plurality of views containing surface data representing at least the geometry of surface points of the part of the intraoral cavity using an intraoral scanner; determining a weight for each surface point at least partly based on scores that are measures of belief of that surface point representing a particular type of surface; executing a stitching algorithm that performs weighted stitching of the surface points in said plurality of views to generate the digital 3D representation based on the determined weights; wherein the scores for the surface points are found by at least one score-finding algorithm that takes as input at least the geometry part of the surface data for that surface point and surface data for points in a neighbourhood of that surface point.
