Abstract:
The example systems, methods, and/or computer-readable media described herein help with design of highly accurate models of un-erupted or partially erupted teeth and help fabricate of aligners for un-erupted or partially erupted teeth. Automated agents that use machine learning models to parametrically represent three-dimensional (3d) virtual representations of teeth as 3D descriptors in a 3D descriptor space are provided herein. In some implementations, the automated agents described herein provide instructions to fabricate aligners for at least partially un-erupted teeth using representative 3D descriptor(s) of a tooth type.

Claim (Index 21):
A system comprising:\n one or more processors; memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory configured to store computer-program instructions, that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform a computer-implemented method comprising:\n gathering an anatomical tooth identifier of a tooth type, the anatomical tooth identifier forming a basis to identify the tooth type; \n gathering, using the anatomical tooth identifier, a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) virtual representations of a plurality of teeth from a plurality of subjects, each of the plurality of teeth having the tooth type; \n identifying a plurality of virtual surface contours corresponding to surfaces of each of the plurality of 3D virtual representations; \n identifying a plurality of 3D descriptors to parametrically represent the plurality of virtual surface contours according to a plurality of spatial parameters, the plurality of 3D descriptors having descriptor locations in a 3D descriptor space; \n assigning a descriptor distance to each of the plurality of 3D descriptors, the descriptor distance representing a difference between the descriptor location of the each 3D descriptor and the descriptor location of a rest of the plurality of 3D descriptors; and \n identifying a representative 3D descriptor for the tooth type using the descriptor distances, the representative 3D descriptor having a minimum distance to the rest of the plurality of 3D descriptors.
