Claim One:
1. A system for fabricating a dental restoration to restore a plurality of teeth in a dentition of a patient, wherein the dentition includes a restoration dental arch and an opposing dental arch, the restoration dental arch including a restoration site and the opposing dental arch being opposite the restoration dental arch, the system comprising: an impression apparatus configured to capture an impression of the dentition that includes the restoration site; a motion capture apparatus configured to capture a plurality of location data points representing a plurality of locations of the opposing dental arch relative to the restoration dental arch as the dentition moves between a plurality of bite positions, wherein the motion capture apparatus is further configured to determine whether the captured plurality of location data points represents the plurality of locations of the opposing dental arch relative to the restoration dental arch throughout a full bite path; an interference model generation system configured to generate an interference model for the restoration site, wherein the interference model includes an interference surface corresponding to locations of a portion of the opposing dental arch in at least two of the plurality of the locations represented by the plurality of location data points; and a restoration design system for designing the dental restoration using the interference model.
