METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRESENTING DENTAL SCAN
In an aspect, the present disclosure provides a method to generate a dental scan clip, comprising: (a) providing a clip start point, a clip end point, and a dental scan parameter; and (b) editing a dental scan in accordance with the clip start point, the clip end point, and the dental scan parameter to generate the dental scan clip.
1 . A method to generate a dental scan clip, comprising:
(a) providing a clip start point, a clip end point, and a dental scan parameter; and (b) editing a dental scan in accordance with the clip start point, the clip end point, and the dental scan parameter to generate the dental scan clip.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the clip start point is determined by a point in the dental scan at which a dental landmark is identified within the dental scan or wherein the clip end point is determined by a point in the dental scan at which a dental landmark is no longer visible in the dental scan.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the dental landmark is a maxillary tuberosity, a retromolar pad, or a tooth.
4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dental scan parameter comprises ensuring an upper teeth arch, a lower teeth arch, or a bite arch remains horizontal in the dental scan frame.
5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dental scan parameter comprises ensuring one or more spaces between two or more teeth remains vertical in the dental scan frame.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dental scan parameter comprises ensuring an imaginary line between two dental landmarks remains horizontal in the dental scan frame.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dental scan parameter comprises ensuring the movement speed of a dental scan remains constant.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dental scan provided is comprises one or more videos or images.
9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dental scan provided is a video or image acquired with a mobile device.
10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the editing comprises matching at least part of the provided dental scan parameters to a reference dental scan clip.
11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dental scan clip is a movie, video, or animation.
12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dental scan clip is less than 1 minute long.
13 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising presenting the dental scan clip simultaneously with a reference dental scan clip.
14 . A system to generate a dental scan clip, in accordance with claim 1 .
15 . A method to transform three dimensional (3D) dental data into a dental model clip, comprising:
(a) providing the 3D dental data;
(b) providing a graphic visualization tool;
(c) using the graphic visualization tool to generate a dental model from the 3D dental data;
(d) providing a clip start point, a clip end point, and a dental model parameter; and
(e) generating the dental model clip from the dental model in accordance with the clip start point, the clip end point, and the dental model parameter.
16 . The method according to claim 15 , further comprising presenting the dental model clip simultaneously with a reference dental scan clip.
17 . The method according to claim 15 , further comprising underlying or overlying the dental model clip with a reference dental scan clip.
18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein differences between the dental model clip and the reference dental scan clip are marked.
19 . A computer-implemented method for remote dental monitoring, the method comprising:
providing a dental scan clip of a user; providing a reference dental scan clip of the user or a dental model clip of the user; and simultaneously presenting the dental scan clip with the reference dental scan clip or the dental model clip on a graphical display.
