IMAGE-BASED TOOTH IDENTIFICATION USING DIGITAL DENTAL MODELS
Systems and methods for identifying teeth in a patient image are provided. For example, a computer-implemented method can include, by one or more processors, accessing a 2D image including a depiction of a patient's teeth, where a plurality of the depicted patient's teeth are annotated with tooth identifiers according to a first tooth identification scheme. The computer-implemented method can further include transmitting, to a server computing device, the 2D image, and receiving from the server computing device, a second tooth identification scheme for the patient's teeth in the 2D image. The second tooth identification scheme can be generated by accessing a 3D model of the patient's teeth, projecting the 3D model onto the 2D image, comparing the projection to the 2D image to determine a probability parameter for each of one or more teeth in the 2D image, and determining, based on the probability parameters, the second tooth identification scheme.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING USING VARIABLE TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED RESINS
Provided herein are systems and processes to control multiple temperatures in additive manufacturing. Such temperature control adjusts polymer properties and facilitates processing of materials to form 3D objects. The systems and processed disclosed herein also facilitate the processing of typically difficult-to-process materials and deliver such materials to a photocuring zone configured to photopolymerize materials into 3 dimensional objects with a layer-by-layer process. Such processes can include the steps of heating a resin to a flowable temperature, applying the resin to a carrier, cooling the film to increase viscosity or to solidify the resin, and applying the film containing the resin onto an area being printed, then photocuring the film. Also provided herein are resins and related polymer materials having properties that are tunable with exposure to more than one temperature zone. The formed polymers can include multiple regions of polymer material, each independently having distinct properties. Processes and systems are also provided herein that are configured to produce polymeric materials having multiple regions with distinct properties from a single-component formulation.
