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 10):
A computer program product comprising program code means for causing a data processing system to perform method for detecting and monitoring movement of a patient's 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 and segmenting the first digital 3D representation such that a first 3D tooth model is formed for at least one tooth; obtaining a second digital 3D representation of the teeth recorded at the second point in time and segmenting the second digital 3D representation such that a second 3D tooth model is formed for the least one tooth; locally aligning the first and second 3D tooth models; selecting one or more corresponding regions on the locally aligned first and second 3D tooth models; arranging the first and second digital 3D representations or the first and second 3D tooth models according to a global alignment of the patient's set of teeth and deriving the distances between the selected corresponding regions; and determining the tooth movement for the at least one tooth between the first and second point in time based on the derived distances.
