Abstract:
Disclosed is a method, user interface and system for detecting and monitoring development of a dental condition. In particular the invention relates to detecting and monitoring such a development by comparing digital 3D representations of the patient's set of teeth recorded at a first and a second point in time.

Claim (Index 27):
A computer program product comprising program code means for causing a data processing system to perform method for detecting development of tooth wear for a patient's set of teeth between a first and a second point in time, wherein the method comprises:\n obtaining a first digital 3D representation of the teeth recorded at the first point in time; obtaining a second digital 3D representation of the teeth recorded at the second point in time; segmentation of the teeth in the first and second digital 3D representations; locally aligning segmented teeth of the first and second digital 3D representations; comparing the locally aligned segmented teeth of the first and second digital 3D representations; detecting based on the comparison a change in the shape and/or size of at least one tooth; and correlating a detected change in the tooth size with a threshold value relating to an expected depth of the patient's enamel.
