Area of Science:

  • Dental Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Accurate visualization of internal tooth anatomy is crucial for effective endodontic therapy.
  • Current segmentation methods may face challenges with data variability and annotation accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a deep learning approach for automated tooth and pulp cavity segmentation from CBCT scans.
  • To enable precise visualization of internal dental anatomy for pre-treatment planning.

Main Methods:

  • A two-phase deep learning solution involving Region Proposal Network (RPN) with Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) for tooth extraction.
  • Iterative U-Net model application for refined segmentation of single-rooted (ST) and multi-rooted (MT) teeth and their pulp cavities.
  • Incorporation of a smoothness penalty loss function and multi-view data enhancement to address data limitations.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high segmentation accuracy with an average Dice score of 95.7% for ST, 96.2% for MT.
  • Demonstrated strong pulp cavity segmentation, with Dice scores of 88.6% for ST and 87.6% for MT.
  • The method effectively handles challenges related to data scarcity and morphological complexities.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed two-phase deep learning method offers fast and accurate tooth and pulp cavity segmentation from CBCT scans.
  • Generated 3D reconstructions provide comprehensive morphological insights into teeth and pulps.
  • This approach offers valuable data for advancing dental research and clinical endodontic practice.
