Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to compositions and methods for coating teeth, and more specifically to intra-oral compositions and methods used in conjunction with three-dimensional intra-oral scanning.
- US 6,592,371 discloses systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a structure include coating the structure with a luminescent substance to enhance the image quality, the luminescent substance having an excitation range; and capturing one or more images of the structure through at least one image aperture each having a frequency sensitivity, wherein the frequency sensitivity of each image aperture is maximized for the luminescent material emission range.
- dentin Similar to the enamel, dentin also exhibits birefringence as well as having the dentinal tubes act as light pipes— further contributing to blooming.
- the observed color of a person's tooth is primarily the result of the frequency selective absorption and reflection of the dentin material.
- Titanium dioxide is a white pigment that is commercially available in one of two crystalline forms: anatase or rutile and is widely used for providing brightness, whiteness, and opacity to such products as paints and coatings, plastics, paper, inks, fibers and food and cosmetics.
- titanium dioxide particles must be created with an ideal particle size of 0.3-1 ⁇ m. It is further suggested in '371 that in powder form, titanium dioxide must be applied to a thickness of between 40 to 60 particles to achieve opacity on the tooth surface. This introduces an error into the true surface contour of the tooth that can vary from 12 ⁇ m to 60 ⁇ m. Since many dental procedures require surface accuracies of 25-50 ⁇ m, the use of titanium dioxide imposes severe and unrealistic constraints on the error budgets of the remaining parameters involved with making an accurate measurement of the teeth surface contours.
- titanium dioxide is a crystalline material, it exhibits optical anisotropy so it is important that the applied thickness be sufficient to create a truly opaque surface to eliminate birefringence effects.
- titanium dioxide is an optically rough surface, it provides no reduction in speckle noise if coherent light is used for the illumination source.
- titanium dioxide or any other equivalent or mixture, must be applied in a sufficiently thick coating to cover all outer surfaces of a tooth.
- the titanium dioxide powder sometimes aggregates and forms lumps. It is therefore important to control the aggregate size by sieving or other size- reduction methods.
- the greatest problem of the current coating methods is that most aqueous imaging solutions/liquid are very difficult to completely dry. This feature also introduces necessary drying times of several seconds to tens of seconds. This requires the patient to sit still with his mouth open and increases the patient time in the dental chair. Additionally, since these coating liquids are aqueous, they are subject to quick dissolution in saliva, removal by the tongue and other intra-oral tissue. Sometimes, a part of the scanner system placed in the mouth will dislodge the coating on part of the tooth's surface.
- US2003232302A describes a dental instrument and method for imaging the three-dimensional topography of one or more teeth in the oral cavity of an individual is provided.
- the instrument includes a probe insertable into the oral cavity to receive the image of these surfaces which can then be processed.
- an auxiliary which projects an air stream toward the surface to be imaged by the probe and acts to evaporate and remove from these surfaces a liquid film coating formed by saliva and other fluids present in the oral cavity, to render these surfaces dry and enhance their reflectivity and in doing so, provide clearer images.
- US2005153257A discloses systems and methods for imaging a dental occlusal registration impression; developing a digital 3D surface contour model of the occlusal registration impression from the image data; electronically transferring the data representing the digital 3D surface contour model of the occlusal registration impression; fabricating a physical replicate of the occlusal registration impression; correlating features on upper and lower jaw dental models with features on the replicate occlusal registration impression model; and determining occlusal alignment of the upper and lower jaw dental models using the replicate occlusal registration impression model.
- US2003175658A provides a method for scanning the surface of an object in which moisture such as saliva or water is present on the surface.
- the method includes the step of applying a saliva and water-resistant composition to the surface, wherein the composition is characterized in that it does not readily wash off the surface after application of the composition to the surface in the presence of saliva or water.
- the composition forms an opaque film on the surface.
- the method further includes the step of scanning the surface having the film with a scanner.
- Several formulations for the composition are disclosed.
- a suitable binder for scanning teeth and other oral structures is a denture adhesive such as an off-the-shelf denture adhesive, in powder form, that is mixed with the pigment and the alcohol base.

- a radio-opaque powder such as 50 grams of barium sulfate powder having a mean particle diameter of about 10 ⁇ m, is then added to the solution.
- the solution is then mixed to obtain the paint, wherein the paint has a uniform dispersion of the radio-opaque powder.
- This paint may be used on dental stents to locate and guide placement of dental implants.
- the method may include the steps of preparing a water-soluble, radio-opaque paint for marking dental stents comprising the steps of preparing a solution described above; adding a radio-opaque powder, such as 50 grams of barium sulfate powder; and mixing the solution to obtain the paint, wherein the paint has a uniform dispersion of the radio-opaque powder.
- the uniform dispersion may be obtained by using ultrasound.
- the method comprises applying the paint to a dental stent; placing the stent in contact with a patient's teeth; taking a radiographic image of the stent and the patient's teeth.
- the stent then is removed from the patient's teeth, and the paint is removed from the stent.
- the publications hereinabove teach methods for coating teeth prior to 3D- scanning, in which the quality of the coatings, and/or partial inadvertent removal thereof, introduces significant measurement errors in the scanning process. Therefore, there remains a need to provide a method and composition for coating teeth, which enables performance of accurate and precise intra-oral 3D-scanning, without introducing major surface contour errors of the compositions, as described in the publications hereinabove.

- the method of providing this bilayer coating is quicker than that of prior art coating methods, thus the dentist does not wait for the application to dry as in the prior art application of coating solutions and paints.
- the prior art coating methods allow for long drying times during which the oral soft tissues can abrade and mechanically remove coating by physical contact therewith.
- the present invention methods allows for the application of the powder separately, which creates a fairly hard optically-good surface almost instantaneously, and thus the prior art problem of mechanical removal by the tongue or other soft tissue, or by the scanner, is overcome.

- the bilayer coating may be easily removed after performing the scan by toothbrushing.
- a gingival retraction cord is often placed in a gingival sulcus
- impression material is forced into the space left when the retraction cord is removed, the retraction cord making this space more obvious and wider.
