Abstract

A method may include receiving and digitally storing a preoperative data set including scan coordinates of at least one of a tomography and a topography of an oral structure of a patient, a dental impression of the oral structure, a dental cast of the oral structure, a prosthesis of the patient, and/or a prosthesis as applied to the oral structure. The method may also include digitally designing a digital preoperative dental model based on the preoperative data set and saving coordinates of the digital preoperative dental model in a CAD/CAM compatible file format. The method may further include digitally designing a dental appliance set based on the digital preoperative dental model, storing coordinates of the dental appliance set design, which are oriented to the digital preoperative dental model, in a CAM compatible file format, and manufacturing at least a part of the dental appliance set using a CAM method.
