Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for registering virtual models of the dental arches of an individual with a digital model of the face of said individual.
- One application of this method is the taking into account of aesthetic considerations when planning a treatment involving an acquisition of the mandibular kinematics of the individual and the application of said kinematics to virtual models of the dental arches.
- Mandibular kinematics requires equipping the patient's face with markers comprising objects detectable by a camera or inertial, magnetic or other type of position sensors, and asking the patient to perform mandibular movements. During these movements, objects are spotted in real time by a camera, or the position data of the sensors are recorded in real time.
- Virtual 3D models of the mandibular and maxillary arches are generally obtained using an intraoral optical scanner or by 3D scanning of impressions of the arches or physical models of the arches. These virtual models are therefore defined in a reference which is associated with the scanning device.
- the markers or sensors fitted to the face define a reference point for the patient that is different from the reference point for virtual 3D models of dental arches.
- Document WO 2013/03051 1 describes a method of designing a dental appliance for an individual in which the mandibular kinematics recorded on said individual are used to animate virtual models of the dental arches of the individual.
- a first embodiment it is proposed to register the virtual models of the dental arches to a tomodensitometric image.
- a tomodensitometric image it is proposed to match the virtual models of the dental arches and a mandibular marker, by pointing in the patient's mouth at least four determined points of the dental arches by means of a stylet.
- the stylus includes objects that can be detected by the camera which locates the mandibular marker and arranged according to a known geometry. It is thus possible to locate the virtual model of the mandibular arch with respect to the patient's landmark attached to said arch.
- the animation of virtual models of the dental arches based on the patient's mandibular kinematics allows occlusal aspects to be taken into account in the planning of treatment.
- a three-dimensional model of the patient's face For certain clinical applications, particularly in order to control the aesthetic implications of a treatment, it may be advantageous to visualize the effect of the treatment on a three-dimensional model of the patient's face.
- a model (“face scan” according to the English terminology) is typically obtained by digitizing the patient's face in three dimensions. In this case, the problem arises of registering the virtual models of the dental arches with the three-dimensional model of the patient's face.
- An aim of the invention is therefore to design a robust, reliable and simple to implement process for registering virtual models of the dental arches of an individual with a three-dimensional model of the face of said individual. Given the risks associated with the exposure of an individual to X-rays, the entire process must be able to be implemented with techniques which do not use X-rays (referred to as “non-radiographic” in the following section. text).
- the invention proposes a method for registering non-radiographic virtual models of a mandibular arch and of a maxillary arch of an individual with a non-radiographic digital model of the face of said individual, characterized in that it comprises :
- supply is meant in this text the obtaining of pre-existing virtual models or the creation of said virtual models.
- the method further comprises matching the virtual model of the maxillary arch with the virtual model of the mandibular arch in a determined position of engagement of said arches, for example a maximum intercuspid occlusion.
- the method further includes displaying the virtual models of the maxillary and mandibular arches superimposed on the digital model of the patient's face.
- the acquisition of the digital model of the patient's face is performed on the patient wearing a frontal marker rigidly secured to the forehead, a virtual model of said frontal marker being provided, and the registration of the virtual models of the maxillary and mandibular arches with the digital face model comprises matching the virtual model of the forehead marker with the forehead marker visible on said virtual model of the face.
- the digital model of the patient's face is textured, so that points plotted on the patient's face and / or anatomical features are visible on said digital textured model, and the registration of the virtual models of the maxillary arches and mandibular with the digital model of the face comprises the pointing of points by a stylus followed by the same localization device as a marker fitted to the patient's face, and the matching of said points and / or anatomical characteristics pointed out and visible points on the digital model of the patient's face.
- the acquisition of the digital model of the patient's face is carried out on the patient wearing a frontal marker rigidly secured to the forehead, a virtual model of said frontal marker being provided, points previously drawn on the forehead. face of the patient and / or anatomical features being visible on the digital model of the patient's face, and the registration of the virtual models of the maxillary and mandibular arches with the digital model of the face comprises the pointing of said points by a stylus followed by the same device location as the frontal marker, and the mapping of said pointed points and points visible on the digital model of the patient's face.
- the digital model of the patient's face is untextured, and in which, upon acquiring the digital model of the face, recognizable geometric shapes are attached to the patient's face, and the registration of the virtual models.
- the maxillary and mandibular arches with the digital model of the face comprises the pointing of said geometric shapes by a stylus followed by the same localization device as a marker fitted to the patient's face, and the matching of said pointed geometric shapes and geometric shapes detectable on the digital model of the patient's face.

- FIG. 5B is a view of the superposition of the virtual models of the dental arches on the digital model of the face of the individual after the registration of FIG. 5A.
- the invention proposes to use on the one hand an intraoral scanner - or an extraoral camera in an alternative embodiment - to simultaneously scan the surface of the teeth of a dental arch and at least part of a marker. attached to said arch or part of the device for fixing the marker to the arch, if applicable, and on the other hand a device for scanning the face of the individual.
- the result of these operations is a digital recording of at least part of the arch and of at least part of the marker, in the same repository which is that of the intraoral scanner, as well as a digital recording of the face surface.
- these recordings make it possible to register the virtual models of the dental arches with the digital model of the patient's face via the repository associated with the marker.
- This registration method is implemented by a computer which includes a processor configured to implement algorithms for image analysis and for calculating rigid transformations between models defined in different marks.
- the computer includes a screen coupled to the processor and configured to display the virtual models of the dental arches as well as the other images implemented in the method described below.
- Virtual models of dental arches can be obtained by any suitable non-radiographic technique.
- a prosthetic device also called an occlusion model, which comprises a base covering the prosthetic bearing surface and a bead replacing the teeth and the alveolar bone .
- a virtual model of said device is obtained from its plan produced by computer-aided design (CAD).
- CAD computer-aided design
- the scanning is performed for each arch taken separately, and for the two dental arches in meshing situation.
- the two arches are scanned in the same repository, which allows a relationship to be established between the virtual models of the two arches.
- the patient is equipped with at least one mandibular marker, which defines a landmark attached to the patient's face.
- the patient is also equipped with a maxillary marker.
- a maxillary marker As an alternative to using a jaw marker, the patient's face itself can be used as a "marker"; thanks to a facial recognition algorithm, it is possible to follow in real time by a camera several characteristic elements of the upper part of the face, which will be associated with the model of the maxillary arch.
- the upper part of the face is in fact considered to be sufficiently dimensionally stable to be free from a marker as such.
- each marker comprises several reflecting patches arranged according to a determined geometry.
- Each marker is tracked by a camera and locating the position of the pellets allows the marker to be located in space.
- the markers can include pads having a two-color pattern of known geometry, diodes, inertial sensors, etc. which also allow each marker to be located in space by means of a corresponding locator device.
- pads having a two-color pattern of known geometry, diodes, inertial sensors, etc. which also allow each marker to be located in space by means of a corresponding locator device.
- the mandibular marker is attached to the patient's mandible rigidly, that is, it is secured so that it does not move relative to the mandible during mandibular movements made by the patient.
- the mandibular marker can be attached to the arch directly (the marker then incorporating a means of attachment to the arch) or through an attachment device to which it is integral.
- WO 2018/158551 describes a mandibular marker which can be used in the present invention.
- the marker 2 comprises four reflecting patches 20, the size and relative position of which are known, detectable by an infrared camera.
- the shape of the pellets is not limiting.
- said pellets could be replaced by reflecting elements having any other suitable shape, for example balls.
- the reflecting patches could be replaced by a test pattern formed from a two-color pattern of known geometry.
- the reflecting pellets could be replaced by diodes, electromagnetic coils, or any other suitable localization means, such as inertial sensors (IMU, acronym for the English term “inertial measurement unit”) , accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.
- IMU acronym for the English term “inertial measurement unit”
- accelerometers gyroscopes, etc.
- the marker 2 is attached to the mandibular arch by means of a fixation device 1 on which it is removably mounted.
- Device 1 comprises:
- all of the three parts 10, 1 1, 12 are formed in one piece, by molding a biocompatible thermoplastic material.
- the intraoral part 10 has a general U shape.
- the material and the thickness of the intraoral part are chosen to present a certain flexibility in a direction of separation or of approach of the legs of the U in their plane.
- the two legs 100 can be moved apart from their initial position to be inserted into the mouth of the individual without rubbing against the teeth or the gums, and then released once they have been correctly positioned.
- the end of the legs of the U is made breakable by the presence of one or more notches 101 which define one or more detachable segments 102.
- one or more of said detachable segments can be removed until 'to obtain a length of the legs 100 adapted to the length of the jaw of the individual.
- the mechanical strength of the intraoral part 10 on the patient's jaw is ensured at least in part by a biocompatible adhesive (not shown) deposited between the surface of the teeth and the inner face of the intraoral part.
- a biocompatible adhesive (not shown) deposited between the surface of the teeth and the inner face of the intraoral part.
- Such a biocompatible glue is frequently used in the field of dentistry.
- the inner face 103 of the intraoral part may have a certain roughness.
- a part resulting from 3D printing a so-called SLS laser sintering technique, acronym for the English term “Selective Laser Sintering”
- the injection mold can undergo a treatment, for example sandblasting or chemical etching, giving it a non-smooth surface state. This roughness makes it possible to improve the mechanical strength of the adhesive with respect to the inner face 103.
- the inner face 103 of the intraoral part can be provided with notches 104.
- Said notches are arranged so as to be located opposite parts in relief on the external surface of the teeth when the device is in place in the tooth. mouth of the individual.
- the notches 104 therefore fulfill a function of blocking the intraoral part, in particular in the anteroposterior direction, which stabilize the device in the mouth.
- the height h of the intraoral part is chosen sufficiently low (typically less than the average height of the teeth) so as not to protrude from the plane formed by the upper surface of the teeth of the lower jaw when the device is in place. in the mouth of the individual.
- the height h is of the order of 5 mm.
- the intraoral part does not interfere with the mandibular kinematics (teeth clenching, chewing movements and others).
- the extraoral part 12 has for its part a fixing element 120 for a marker.
- the marker 2 is fixed by snap-fastening on the extraoral part 12.
- the mandibular marker 2 comprises, on its inner face (ie opposite the reflective patches), two arranged lugs. one above the other (considering the position of the marker when it is in place on the individual).
- the fixing element 120 comprises two housings 121, 122 separated by an elastic tongue 123. To place the marker 2 on the fixing device 1, the upper lug is first of all engaged in the housing, then the lower lug is engaged in the housing 122, this engagement causing a slight deformation of the tongue 123 towards the rear (that is to say on the side opposite the reflecting pads). The marker is therefore held on the extraoral part 12 by engagement of the lugs in the housings 121, 122 and by a pressure force exerted by the deformed tongue 123.
- the assembly of the marker 2 on the fixation device is advantageously carried out once the fixation device has been placed in the patient's mouth and fixed using the aforementioned biocompatible glue.
- the marker does not hinder this positioning operation.
- the force required for the placement of the marker on the extraoral part is very low, so that it does not affect the mechanical strength of the fixation device vis-à-vis the mandibular arch.
- the extraoral part is designed to be rigid enough to support the weight of said marker without deforming.
- the marker could form an integral part of the extraoral part.
- the extraoral part 12 is advantageously located below the plane of the lips of the individual (the marker 20 being able for its part to protrude from this plane).
- the latter is substantially symmetrical with respect to the antero-posterior plane of the individual.
- the part 11 of connection between the intraoral 10 and extraoral 12 parts is in the form of a bridge extending from the central region of the intraoral part 10.
- This bridge has a first section 1 10 extending towards the upper jaw, a second section 1 1 1 extending through the lips and a third section 1 12 for connection to the extraoral part 12.
- the shape and dimensions of the connecting part are chosen so that, when the device is in place in the mouth of the individual, the second section 1 1 1 extends to the level of the lift plane, without exerting pressure on the lips. Thus, the device 1 remains immobile even in the event of swallowing.
- connecting portion 1 1 is designed to be rigid enough not to deform when the marker 20 is attached to the extraoral portion 12.
- the jaw marker is attached to the patient's jawbone or to another part of the face rigidly integral with the jawbone, for example the forehead. In the latter case, we speak of a frontal marker.
- the maxillary or frontal marker is preferably based on the same technology as the mandibular marker.
- the jaw marker comprises several reflective patches arranged in a determined pattern.
- the forehead marker is in the form of an armature intended to surround the patient's forehead and adapted to rest on the ears and on the nasal ridge, which stabilizes it.
- Virtual models of the mandibular and maxillary markers are generally obtained from their plans made by computer-aided design (CAD).
- Registration involves the use of an intraoral impression camera (also called intraoral scanner) or any other suitable intraoral non-radiographic system to digitize the surface of the teeth of one or both arches (and / or, the where appropriate, a prosthetic device rigidly linked to an arch) so as to form point clouds or meshes.
- an intraoral impression camera also called intraoral scanner
- any other suitable intraoral non-radiographic system to digitize the surface of the teeth of one or both arches (and / or, the where appropriate, a prosthetic device rigidly linked to an arch) so as to form point clouds or meshes.
- the invention involves also scanning at least part of the tooth. mandibular marker rigidly linked to the mandibular arch.
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of this operation, with a mandibular marker 2 and a device 1 for mandibular fixation of the marker as described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the intraoral impression camera C is introduced into the mouth of the patient. patient, the mandibular arch having previously been equipped with the mandibular marker 2.
- the practitioner scans with the camera C the surface of the teeth of the mandibular arch and, where appropriate, of the above-mentioned prosthetic device, for example according to the movement shown schematically by the arrow S1.
- the practitioner also performs a scan with the camera C of the connection part 1 1, shown schematically by the arrow S2.
- the scanned area is surrounded by dotted lines.
- a digital recording is therefore obtained in the form of a cloud of points or a mesh comprising not only at least part of the surface of the teeth and / or of a prosthetic device secured to the arch but also the connecting part 1 1, in the same repository.
- the marker can be matched with its virtual model by correlation of the shape of the connecting part 11 on the intraoral scan and on the virtual model.
- the dental arch can be mapped to its virtual model by correlating the tooth surface on the intraoral scan and on the virtual model.
- a prosthetic device is integral with the arch, knowledge of the virtual model of said device makes it possible to determine the location of the edentulous gum.
- the virtual model of the mandibular arch can be located in the marker of the marker mandibular, which defines the patient's landmark attached to the mandibular arch.
- the complete digitization of the marker is not necessary since a sufficient non-deformable part is scanned and can be correlated with the virtual model of said part.
- the correlation is all the more robust as the digitized part has specific geometric characteristics. In this context, it is irrelevant whether the marker is integral with the fixing device or not, as long as the part scanned by the intraoral scanner is sufficiently rigid.
- the expression "digitization of at least a rigid part of the marker” covers the digitization of a rigid part of the fastening device to which the marker is rigidly and reproducibly attached.
- the mandibular marker In the case where the mandibular marker is formed integrally with the mandibular fixation device, it comprises a deformable intraoral part to adapt to the morphology of the patient and a non-deformable part provided with reflective patches or other objects. detectable. The intra-oral scan must then cover a sufficient part of the non-deformable part. On the other hand, the intraoral part is in principle not sufficient to carry out the registration because it is too deformable.
- the creation of the virtual model of the mandibular arch can be carried out during said intraoral scanning operation; we thus obtain in a single step the virtual model of the mandibular arch and the information necessary for registration.
- the presence of the mandibular marker masks part of the surface of the teeth and is therefore likely to reduce the precision of the virtual model of the mandibular arch.
- the scanning of the surface of part of the teeth and of a sufficient part of the mandibular marker can be carried out using an extra-radiographic camera.
- Said extraoral camera performs a three-dimensional acquisition of the general shape of the mandibular marker and of the teeth visible from the mandibular arch, in the same frame of reference.
- the virtual models, more precise, of the mandibular marker and the mandibular arch can then be matched according to the same principle as explained above.
- Another technique for simultaneously acquiring, in the same frame of reference, the three-dimensional shape of part of the mandibular marker and part of the mandibular arch is photogrammetry.
- this non-radiographic technique consists in taking photographs from different angles where the teeth and the marker are visible. From this series of photographs, the geometry of the marker is recognized as well as that of the mandibular arch.
- the same registration process can be applied to locate the virtual model of the maxillary arch in the frame of a maxillary or frontal marker.
- the intraoral scanner is used to simultaneously digitize at least part of the body. the surface of the teeth (and / or of a prosthetic device as described above) of the maxillary arch and a sufficient rigid part of the mandibular marker or of its fixing device).
- the extraoral camera is used to simultaneously digitize at least part of the surface of the teeth (and / or of a prosthetic device as described previously) of the maxillary arch and the marker frontal.
- a marker is rigidly linked to the patient's forehead and thus defines a mark of the maxillary arch.
- a known arch-mesh position usually the maximum intercuspid occlusion (MIO)
- MIO maximum intercuspid occlusion
- the maxillary arch model is reported. next to the mandibular arch.
- the position of the maxillary marker relative to the mandibular marker is known thanks to a recording made by the extraoral camera.
- the maxillary arch model can therefore be associated with the maxillary marker. All the points, axes and reference planes of the patient are then associated with the virtual models of the arches.
- a three-dimensional digital model of the patient's face is typically obtained by scanning the patient's face in three dimensions.
- this model may or may not include a texture of the face (in particular colors).
- This digitization can be carried out by means of the following techniques: stereoscopy, photogrammetry, laser scanning associated or not with a color detection sensor (RGB, acronym of the English term “Red, Green, Blue”), structured light and / or measurement in time of flight (TOF, acronym of the Anglo-Saxon term “Time Of Flight”).
- RGB acronym of the English term “Red, Green, Blue”
- TOF measurement in time of flight
- the patient can be equipped with a maxillary or frontal marker as mentioned above.
- the registration of the virtual models of the dental arches with the digital model of the patient's face uses the aforementioned patient frame of reference.
- the maxillary arch marker is arranged on the patient's forehead when scanning the patient's face.
- this marker 3 comprises reflective patches 30 arranged according to a known geometry (cf. FIG. 4A), but, as indicated above for the mandibular marker, other localization techniques could be used.
- the virtual model of the marker 3 is obtained for example by its CAD plan.
- the virtual models M of the dental arches are moreover obtained by one of the techniques mentioned above.
- the marker 3 can be found on the digital model of the patient's face. It is therefore possible to match this model of the patient's face with the virtual model of marker 3.
- the virtual models M of the dental arches having been matched beforehand with the virtual model of the frontal marker thanks to one of the methods described above, it is then possible to correlate said virtual models of the dental arches with the 3D model of the patient's face, and displaying said M models superimposed on the model of the patient's face.
- a digital model of the patient's face can be generated while the patient is not wearing the forehead marker, and is matched to the digital model of the patient's face wearing the forehead marker by recognition of the mesh shapes of the two models.
- the virtual models of the dental arches can be displayed on the model of the patient's face without the frontal marker.
- this solution allows to overcome the lack of resolution of certain digital models of the face, which do not make it possible to discern the shape of the teeth even when smiling, and thus allow a correlation of the virtual models of the dental arches with the digital model of the face.
- the registration can be carried out using points drawn on the face. of the patient or placed on the face in the form of stickers, and / or anatomical features of the face, such as moles, scars, etc. These points or features are also visible on the texture of the digital model of the face.
- the practitioner uses a stylus as described in the introductory part of this text, and points with the stylus to the various points or characteristics identified. Each stylus pointing action generates a corresponding point in space in the form of a sphere.
- the stylus being marked by the camera at the same time as the front marker, the position of the spheres is determined in the frame of the front marker.
- the registration between the facial model and the virtual models of the dental arches can be performed only using the points and anatomical features of the face, without locating the frontal marker on the facial model.
- the patient is equipped with a mandibular marker for the operation of registering the mandibular arch with the mandibular marker, as previously described.
- the pointing of the points and / or anatomical characteristics of the patient is then performed using the stylus as explained previously. This pointing makes it possible to match the spheres generated by each pointing action of the stylus with the marks associated with the mandibular and maxillary markers.
- the patient's face is also digitized, without any marker on the patient, so as to generate a textured digital model of the face.
- the points or anatomical features pointed using the stylus being visible on said textured digital model, and correlated with the virtual models of the mandibular arch and of the maxillary arch, it is thus possible to match the virtual models of the arch. mandibular and maxillary arch and digital model of the face.
- the patient is equipped with the mandibular marker and the frontal marker 3 for the acquisition of mandibular kinematics.
- the digital model of the patient's face (the sides of which can be seen on the left and on the right in FIG. 5A), is obtained while the patient is not wearing either the mandibular marker or the frontal marker.
- points of color P1 -P4 located at the level of anatomical points characteristic of the face, such as respectively the two condyles, the top of the nose and the gap between the base of the nose and the upper lip are visible on the digital color model.
- the matching of the models is made possible by pointing these same points P1 -P4 with the stylet 4 when the patient is equipped with the mandibular marker and the frontal marker.
- FIG. 5B illustrates the result of the registration, allowing a superposition of the virtual models of the dental arches on the digital model of the patient's face.
- these geometric shapes include a suitable location for the stylus, for example a hollow of suitable size to receive the tip of the stylus.
- Model matching is then made possible by pointing to these locations with the stylet when the patient is equipped with the mandibular marker and the forehead marker.
- the combination of the registration of the forehead marker on the digital model of the face and the pointing of points or anatomical features increases the robustness of the registration process between the virtual models of the arches and the digital model of the face.
- the face is less rigid than the dental arches, due to the mobility of the muscles or the depression of the skin during the application of the stylet, there may be differences between the digital model of the face with and without marker.
