Abstract:
Methods of selecting or designing an implant to be used in a patient are provided. A CT scan of a patient's mouth is performed. A 3D CAD model of the patient's mouth is created utilizing data generated by the CT scan. Properties of the patient's mouth are determined based upon CT scan data and assigned to the 3D CAD model. A desired location for an implant is selected. A FEA simulation is performed on the 3D CAD model to choose an implant or to design an implant that optimizes a selected variable.

Claim (Index 15):
A method of designing an implant to be used in a patient comprising the acts of:\n performing a CT scan of the patient's mouth; creating a 3D CAD model of the patient's mouth utilizing data generated by the CT scan; determining properties of the patient's mouth based upon data generated by the CT scan; assigning the determined properties of the patient's mouth to the 3D CAD model; selecting a desired location for the implant; assigning at least one variable to be optimized by a FEA simulation; performing a FEA simulation on the 3D CAD model to optimize the assigned variable; and designing the implant to use in the patient based upon results from the act of performing the FEA simulation.
