Semantic decomposition Network with Contrastive and Structural Constraints for Dental Plaque Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Segmenting dental plaque from images of medical reagent staining provides valuable information for diagnosis and the determination of follow-up treatment plan. However, accurate dental plaque segmentation is a challenging task that requires identifying teeth and dental plaque subjected to semantic-blur regions (i.e., confused boundaries in border ...

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