Tooth Anatomy

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Background:

Dental surface reconstruction is crucial for digital dentistry, but traditional methods accumulate noise, especially with high-curvature features.
Existing mesh generation, surface registration, and merging processes often lead to inaccuracies in dental models.
High curvature regions in dental anatomy pose significant challenges for accurate surface reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a robust 3D dental surface reconstruction method that minimizes noise and enhances accuracy.
To improve the precision of dental models derived from 3D scanning data.
To address the limitations of conventional reconstruction techniques in handling complex dental geometries.

Main Methods:

Optimized parameters for mesh generation and surface registration stages.
Iterative application of smallest univalue segment assimilating nucleus (SUSAN) filtering and surface attraction methods.
Validation using both virtual and real scanning dental models.

Main Results:

The proposed method significantly reduces accumulated noise in 3D dental models.
Robust reconstruction of dental surfaces, even those with sharp features and high curvature.
Experimental validation confirms the accuracy and reliability of the developed method.

Conclusions:

The presented 3D robust dental surface reconstruction method effectively overcomes noise accumulation issues.
The technique provides accurate and reliable 3D dental models suitable for clinical and research applications.
This approach enhances the quality of digital dental models, supporting advancements in the field.
