Abstract
First intraoral images of a first portion of a three-dimensional intraoral object are received. The first intraoral images correspond to an intraoral scan of the three-dimensional intraoral object during a current patient visit. A pre-existing model that corresponds to the three-dimensional intraoral object is identified. The pre-existing model is based on intraoral data of the three-dimensional intraoral object captured during a previous patient visit. A first intraoral image of the first intraoral images is registered to a first portion of the pre-existing model. A second intraoral image of the first intraoral images is registered to a second portion of the pre-existing model.
