Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of designing a dental restoration component. A set of design dimensional constraints is defined which must be satisfied for the dental restoration component. A set of design parameters for the dental restoration component also is defined. Using at least in part a penalty function, a value is assigned to each of said design parameters for the dental restoration component, consistent with the constraints for said component, said penalty function taking into account at least more than one of said design parameters and which signals a constraint being reached when the value of any of said parameters violates a constraint.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for specifying design parameters for at least first and second dental restoration components, the at least first and second dental restoration components being installed in a cooperating relationship, and the first dental restoration component being configured to support the second dental restoration component in the cooperating relationship, said method comprising: a. receiving, by a processor, a set of design dimensional const…
