Generative Adversarial Networks for Dental Patient Identity Protection in Orthodontic Educational Imaging [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Objectives: This research introduces a novel area-preserving Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) inversion technique for effectively de-identifying dental patient images. This innovative method addresses privacy concerns while preserving key dental features, thereby generating valuable resources for dental education and research.

DArch: Dental Arch Prior-assisted 3D Tooth Instance Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Automatic tooth instance segmentation on 3D dental models is a fundamental task for computer-aided orthodontic treatments. Existing learning-based methods rely heavily on expensive point-wise annotations. To alleviate this problem, we are the first to explore a low-cost annotation way for 3D tooth instance segmentation, i.e., labeling all tooth ...

Multiclass Segmentation using Teeth Attention Modules for Dental X-ray Images [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
This paper proposed a cutting-edge multiclass teeth segmentation architecture that integrates an M-Net-like structure with Swin Transformers and a novel component named Teeth Attention Block (TAB). Existing teeth image segmentation methods have issues with less accurate and unreliable segmentation outcomes due to the complex and varying morphology of ...

Articulated dental cast analysis of asymptomatic and symptomatic populations [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Oral Science, 2016
Dental instrumentation has long provided insight into the mechanism of musculo-skeletal function of the gnathic system. While large population studies associate dental arch displacement (DAD), especially laterally, with symptoms, mandibular condyle displacement (CD) resulting from DAD has not been targeted as possibly etiologic in the production of ...

Clinical Evaluation of Digital Dental Articulation for One-Piece Maxillary Surgery

open access: yesJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2020
Methods for digital dental alignment are not readily available to automatically articulate the upper and lower jaw models. The purpose of the present study was to assess the accuracy of our newly developed 3-stage automatic digital articulation approach by comparing it with the reference standard of orthodontist-articulated occlusion.Thirty pairs of ...

Enhanced Masked Image Modeling for Analysis of Dental Panoramic Radiographs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The computer-assisted radiologic informative report has received increasing research attention to facilitate diagnosis and treatment planning for dental care providers. However, manual interpretation of dental images is limited, expensive, and time-consuming.

A Hemispherical Contact Model for Simplifying 3D Occlusal Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Statement of problem Currently, dental articulators can recreate mandibular movements and occlusal contacts. However, whether virtual articulators can also provide information about occluding dental surfaces, functional movements, and the mandibular ...

Anterior point of reference: Current knowledge and perspectives in prosthodontics

open access: yesJournal of Orofacial Sciences, 2012
The opening and closing mandibular axis is not a purely theoretical postulation, but an absolutely demonstrable biomechanical entity. It is very crucial to accurately record and transfer to articulators for the purpose of maxillofacial rehabilitation ...

Smart Denture with Embedded Thin‐Film Temperature Sensors Patterned by Femtosecond Laser Pulse for Elderly Healthcare

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
We demonstrate the direct‐laser patterning of a gold thin film on polymethyl methacrylate to fabricate a temperature sensor for dentures. The temperature sensor‐embedded smart dentures are evaluated in an oral environment, enabling in‐situ monitoring for elderly healthcare.

Effects of Palatal Expansion on Speech Production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Introduction: Rapid palatal expanders (RPEs) are a commonly used orthodontic adjunct for the treatment of posterior crossbites. RPEs are cemented to bilateral posterior teeth across the palate and thus may interfere with proper tongue movement and ...
