SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PLANNING A FIRST AND SECOND DENTAL RESTORATION
First Claim
1. A method of planning a dental restoration for a patient, said method comprising:
- virtually planning, via a computer, a first dental restoration for said patient;
providing first production data based on said planned first dental restoration useful for production of said first dental restoration and/or at least one product related to a medical procedure for installing at least a portion of said first dental restoration in an oral cavity of said patient;
providing scan data comprising factual position data and/or factual shape data based on at least a portion of said first dental restoration after modification thereof;
virtually planning, via a computer, a second dental restoration for said patient, comprising adjusting said planned first dental restoration in dependence on said scan data; and
providing second production data based on said planned second dental restoration useful for production of said second dental restoration.

Abstract
A computer-based method and system of virtually planning a dental restoration in a patient are disclosed, including steps, units or code segments for virtually planning a first dental restoration. First production data is based on the planned first dental restoration for production thereof or of a product related to a medical procedure for installing at least a portion of the first dental restoration in an oral cavity of the patient. Scan data is provided including factual position data and/or factual shape data based on the first dental restoration when at least partly installed in the oral cavity of the patient. The second dental restoration is virtually planned, including adjusting the planned first dental restoration in dependence of the scan data. Second production data is provided based on the planned second dental restoration useful for production of the second dental restoration.

13. A computer-based system for virtually planning a dental restoration for a patient, said system comprising a processing unit adapted to
virtually plan a first dental restoration for said patient; -
provide first production data based on said planned first dental restoration useful for production of said first dental restoration and/or at least one product related to a medical procedure for installing at least a portion of said first dental restoration in an oral cavity of said patient; provide scan data comprising factual position data and/or factual shape data based on said first dental restoration when at least partly installed in said oral cavity of said patient; virtually plan a second dental restoration for said patient, comprising adjusting said planned first dental restoration in dependence of said scan data; and provide second production data based on said planned second dental restoration useful for production of said second dental restoration.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing a plurality of code segments for virtually planning a dental restoration in a patient, wherein execution of the plurality of code segments by a computer carries out a method, comprising:
-
virtually planning a first dental restoration for said patient; providing first production data based on said planned first dental restoration useful for production of said first dental restoration and/or at least one product related to a medical procedure for installing at least a portion of said first dental restoration in an oral cavity of said patient; providing scan data comprising factual position data and/or factual shape data based on said first dental restoration when at least partly installed in said oral cavity of said patient; virtually planning a second dental restoration for said patient, comprising adjusting said planned first dental restoration in dependence of said scan data; and providing second production data based on said planned second dental restoration useful for production of said second dental restoration.
