Abstract

Provided herein are systems and methods for determining if a 3D tooth model requires trimming or removal of incomplete or missing data (e.g., gingiva covering a portion of a tooth such as a molar). A patient's dentition may be scanned and/or segmented. During dentition segmentation, a determination can be made whether trimming portions of the 3D model is desirable. A recommendation can be made for 3D model trimming based on the determination.
