Abstract

Disclosed are an apparatus and method for setting a margin line and a recording medium, wherein the apparatus and method set a margin line corresponding to the outline of the boundary between a tooth and a prosthesis on the basis of three-dimensional virtual model data of the tooth obtained by using a three-dimensional scanner such as an oral scanner or the like. The method for setting a margin line according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises the steps of: generating curve information about the peripheral area of the margin line candidate points selected in a three-dimensional virtual model obtained for a tooth; and setting a margin line indicating the outline of the boundary between the tooth and a prosthesis on the basis of the curve information.
