Abstract:
1. A computing device implemented method of prioritizing three dimensional dental elements, comprising: receiving a virtual initial dental data set (IDDS) of teeth having spatial information regarding positions of a number of teeth in the virtual IDDS with respect to each other for presentation of the teeth in a virtual three dimensional space to be viewed on a user interface; setting prioritization values for each of the number of teeth and at least one reference point on one of the number of teeth; prioritizing the number of teeth and the at least one reference point to be selected by a user based upon their prioritization values; and manipulating a transparency of at least one of the number of teeth based on the prioritization and a line of sight of the reference point in the virtual IDDS.
