Abstract

A method for designing a drilling template, wherein a dental situation is measured by means of a 3D surface measuring device and a 3D surface model of the dental situation is produced and/or measured by means of an X-ray device or an MRI device, wherein the dental situation is measured and a volume model of the dental situation is produced, the method comprising the steps of: applying an artificial neural network for machine learning (convolutional neural network; CNN) to the 3D surface model of the dental situation and/or the volume model of the dental situation and/or to an initial 3D model of the drilling template; and automatically producing a ready made 3D model of the drilling template.
