A method for generating movement rotation information includes: acquiring a jaw image including a plurality of teeth; specifying first position information indicative of positions of three or more points individually corresponding to three or more types of teeth included in the jaw image; acquiring, in accordance with positional relationship information that associates types of teeth with second position information indicating positions of reference points, the second position information corresponding to three or more reference points individually corresponding to the three or more types of teeth; calculating movement rotation information so that a plane including the three or more points is made coincide with a reference plane including the three or more reference points, the movement rotation information including at least either of a movement amount and a rotation amount with respect to the plane including the three or more points; and outputting the movement rotation information.

A normal vector or a curvature at each of a plurality of vertexes that are included in data relating to an oral cavity shape including a tooth crown shape of at least one tooth and define the oral cavity shape is acquired. Then, a vertex group that defines the tooth crown shape of the at least one tooth is extracted from the plurality of vertexes based on the acquired normal vectors or curvatures. Further, the extracted vertex group is outputted as tooth crown shape information that specifies a tooth crown portion in the oral cavity shape. Consequently, automatic construction of a database for a tooth crown shape can be implemented.

Method for acquiring tooth crown shape information from data relating to oral cavity shape to automatically construct a database for tooth crown shapes

The tooth axis estimation program includes, extracting a plurality of points from inputted three-dimensional profile data, the plurality of points indicating a surface of three-dimensional profile data; calculating an arrangement relationship between a point group and a first profile corresponding to a first three-dimensional profile data of a tooth in accordance with moving and/or rotating at least one of the first profile and the point group, the arrangement relationship corresponding to minimum difference between the point group and the first profile, the point group being included in a region of the extracted plurality of points; and specifying a direction of a tooth included in the region in accordance with the calculated arrangement relationship.
