Tooth Instance Segmentation from Cone-Beam CT Images through Point-based Detection and Gaussian Disentanglement [PDF]
Individual tooth segmentation and identification from cone-beam computed tomography images are preoperative prerequisites for orthodontic treatments. Instance segmentation methods using convolutional neural networks have demonstrated ground-breaking results on individual tooth segmentation tasks, and are used in various medical imaging applications ...

TFormer: 3D Tooth Segmentation in Mesh Scans with Geometry Guided Transformer [PDF]
Optical Intra-oral Scanners (IOS) are widely used in digital dentistry, providing 3-Dimensional (3D) and high-resolution geometrical information of dental crowns and the gingiva. Accurate 3D tooth segmentation, which aims to precisely delineate the tooth and gingiva instances in IOS, plays a critical role in a variety of dental applications.

Multimorbidity and tooth loss: the Brazilian National Health Survey, 2019
Background Little is known about the presence of two or more chronic conditions (multimorbidity) on tooth loss between adults and older adults. Understanding the mechanisms of multimorbidity on tooth loss is essential to inform policy development.

ToothSegNet: Image Degradation meets Tooth Segmentation in CBCT Images [PDF]
In computer-assisted orthodontics, three-dimensional tooth models are required for many medical treatments. Tooth segmentation from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images is a crucial step in constructing the models. However, CBCT image quality problems such as metal artifacts and blurring caused by shooting equipment and patients' dental ...

Tooth loss and implant replacement [PDF]
AbstractOsseointegrated dental implants are increasingly used to replace missing teeth in a variety of situations ranging from the missing single tooth to complete edentulism. The implant possibility must be carefully considered because treatment involves extended time frames, considerable expense and is not without risk.
