Latest Patents

The available information identifies 1 patent associated with Laurent Andres: “Method for Characterizing an Intraoral Organ.” The method represents an intraoral organ as a digital three-dimensional model made up of surface points. It places this model in a standardized configuration relative to an initial reference model containing fewer than 20% as many reference points as the model being characterized. A deformation algorithm then determines corresponding final reference points and associated positional or surface values, aiming to make the resulting reference model match the organ model as closely as possible. Finally, the method arranges the values for all initial reference points into a characteristic vector.
