Abstract
A method for the computer-aided editing of a digital 3D model () of a dental object using digital tools (TTT) provides for the identification of different dental-specific regions (RRR) of the 3D model () that are affected by the tool (TTT) in different ways, for computation of the effect on the whole 3D model and for display thereof as a proposal model () together with the 3D model (). The proposal model () is then rejected or accepted in part or in full. If it is accepted in part, at least one subregion of the 3D model () is selected as a region () and a result model () is formed from the 3D model () and the proposal model () by virtue of the 3D model () being taken as the starting point for replacing the selected region () or at least a central portion of the selected region () with a corresponding region of the proposal model () or approaching the latter using a strength factor (S).
