Abstract:
A 3D virtual model of an intra oral cavity in which at least a part of a finish line of a preparation is obscured is manipulated in virtual space by means of a computer or the like to create, recreate or reconstruct finish line data and other geometrical corresponding to the obscured part. Trimmed virtual models, and trimmed physical models, can then be created utilizing data thus created. The virtual models and/or the physical models may be used in the design and manufacture of copings or of prostheses.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for manipulating a virtual dental model for prosthodontic procedures, the system comprising:\n receiving a 3D virtual model of a dental site comprising prepared dental surfaces including a margin line, wherein a first portion of the margin line is obscured by a material and the 3D virtual model includes a first 3D virtual model portion comprising data representing the obscuring material and a second model portion representing unobscured prepared dental surfaces; trimming the 3D virtual model to remove the first 3D virtual model portion comprising the data representing the obscuring material; generating an auxiliary 3D virtual model that includes a representation of the first portion of the dental site in which the margin line is not obscured by the material; and combining the auxiliary 3D virtual model with the trimmed 3D virtual model to create a completed trimmed 3D virtual model including data representative of the dental surfaces of the first portion of the margin line.
