Self-Supervised Learning with Masked Image Modeling for Teeth Numbering, Detection of Dental Restorations, and Instance Segmentation in Dental Panoramic Radiographs [PDF]
The computer-assisted radiologic informative report is currently emerging in dental practice to facilitate dental care and reduce time consumption in manual panoramic radiographic interpretation. However, the amount of dental radiographs for training is very limited, particularly from the point of view of deep learning.

Semantic decomposition Network with Contrastive and Structural Constraints for Dental Plaque Segmentation [PDF]
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 ...

A unified protocol for simultaneous extraction of DNA and proteins from archaeological dental calculus [PDF]
Archaeological materials are a finite resource, and efforts should be made to minimize destructive analyses. This can be achieved by using protocols combining extraction of several types of biomolecules or microparticles, which decreases the material ...

A Comprehensive Review on Dental Calculus [PDF]
ABSTRACT Dental calculus is a hard deposit that is formed by calcification of dental plaque primarily composed of calcium phosphate mineral salts which is deposited on natural teeth and restorations and is covered by a layer of unmineralized plaque. These hard deposits may form coronal to or apical to the gingival margin, hence named accordingly as ...

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