Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for generating a model of a subject's teeth. Described herein are intraoral scanning methods and apparatuses for generating a three-dimensional model of a subject's intraoral region (e.g., teeth) including both surface features and internal features. These methods and apparatuses may be used for identifying and evaluating lesions, caries and cracks in the teeth. Any of these methods and apparatuses may use minimum scattering coefficients and/or segmentation to form a volumetric model of the teeth.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein generating comprises generating, for each point in the volume, a plurality of scattering coefficients from the plurality of IR images and the location and orientation of the camera, and determining the density from the plurality of scattering coefficients.
