The 3D teeth are derived from complex use of the Direct X and OpenGL APIs.

Well... yes? If you're asking for an easy way to edit the teeth graphically we give drawing tools for "easy" graphic changes. http://www.opendental.com/manual/chartdrawing.html
Another easy way to change procedure graphics is by manipulating the paint type on procedures. http://www.opendental.com/manual/procedurecodeedit.html
If you're asking for a technical way to manipulate the teeth graphically (e.g. adding a supernumerary tooth) then you'll have to dig through our source code and do it yourself (or add a feature request for us to add whatever it is you're wanting). It's going to be painful though, just saying. http://www.opendental.com/manual/sourcecode.html
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
