Abstract
According to an embodiment, a method for generating a digital three-dimensional model representing development in dental condition for a tooth is disclosed. The method includes obtaining, at different timepoints, a first digital 3D model of a patient's set of teeth including first texture data and a second digital 3D model of the patient's set of teeth including second texture data. The first digital 3D model including the first texture data and second digital 3D model including the second texture data are placed in a common texture space by uniformizing texture. Lastly, the digital three-dimensional model representing development in dental condition is generated based on a comparison of the first texture data and the second texture data of corresponding regions in the first digital 3D model and the second digital 3D model placed in the common texture space.
