Interactive Tooth Segmentation of Dental Models

2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005
The accurate segmentation of the teeth from the triangle mesh is an important step in computer-aided orthodontic. Because teeth come in different shapes and their arrangements vary substantially from one individual to another, tooth segmentation is difficult. This paper proposes a new method to accurately segment the teeth interactively.

Socioeconomic demand model for dental visits

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1984
Abstract The purpose of the present study was to develop structural Socioeconomic demand models for dental visits. The explanatory variables were chosen selectively from the various theories concerning health services utilization. The models were constructed on data from a sociodental survey carried out among workers and staff members at a Danish ...

Developments in dental plaque pH modelling

Journal of Dentistry, 2005
The objectives of this review were to give a comprehensive account of the methods used to determine dental plaque pH over the last 50 years, to review how these methods have been used in dental cariology research and to give an update as to how dental plaque pH studies might be developed in the future.Published, referred papers and abstracts of ...

A user-oriented dental care model

Computers in Biology and Medicine, 1978
Abstract This paper discusses a computer oriented model of dental programs. The two major concepts incorporated into the model are the personnel involved in providing care and the type of care being provided. For user specified categories of service and various personnel configurations the model estimates personnel requirements, in terms of time and ...

Digital Dental Model Analysis

2009
This paper is to introduce dental model analysis software with facilitating functions to allow direct dental measurement along with simulation after dental alignment and extraction. Model analysis is one of the orthodontic analyses to assess dental alignment and dental space whether the teeth are at the appropriated positions and space for orthodontic ...

Models for Delivering School-Based Dental Care

Journal of School Health, 2005
School-based health centers (SBHCs) often are located in high-need schools and communities. Dental service is frequently an addition to existing comprehensive services, functioning in a variety of models, configurations, and locations. SBHCs are indicated when parents have limited financial resources or inadequate health insurance, limiting options for

Dental Fear in Children – a proposed model

British Dental Journal, 1999
Over the past eleven years, we have worked together to treat children who are dentally phobic. This has enabled us to develop an understanding of how children come to be dentally fearful. We have constructed a model of child dental fear which helps us in our work.

3D modelling to support dental surgery

2012
In a previous work, we developed a general purpose framework to support the three-dimensional reconstruction, rendering and processing of biomedical images, 3D Bio-IPF. In this paper we present a structured component of 3D Bio-IPF, the plug-in Implant, to model customised dental implants on a three-dimensional representation of the oral cavity derived ...

Artificial Dental Plaque Biofilm Model Systems

Advances in Dental Research, 1997
Difficulties with in vivo studies of natural plaque and its complex, heterogeneous structure have led to development of laboratory biofilm plaque model systems. Technologies for their culture are outlined, and the rationale, strengths, and relative uses of two complementary approaches to microbial models with a focus on plaque biodiversity are ...

Response to the dental scientist model

Journal of Dental Education, 1993
In general, considerable strength and much realism exist in the model as presented by Dr. McHugh. Progress in biological science is central to any scheme anticipating change in medicine, including dental and oral medicine. In my view, there are two weaknesses in his presentation: 1) a perhaps semantic difference with me over whether dentists should be ...
