Patent US7247021 - Subdividing a digital dentition model - Google Patents
A computer or other digital circuitry is used to assist in the creation of a digital model of an individual component, such as a tooth or gum tissue, in a patient's dentition. The computer receives a data set that forms a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the patient's dentition, applies a test...http://www.google.com/patents/US7247021?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7247021 - Subdividing a digital dentition model
