Semi-automated dental implant placement
Semi-automated dental implant placement
-Determines the area of dental implant placement in CT images.
-Consists of teeth segmentation, bone segmentation (maxilla & mandible), mandibular canal segmentation, occlusal plane determination, dental arch form determination, and determination of the implant position, implant size and placement angle.
Semi-automated generation of craniofacial implant model
Semi-automated generation of craniofacial implant model
- Automatically generates craniofacial implant model by mirroring the selected loss area using the facial symmetry plane, and fabricates the implant based on 3D printing.
Computer-based dental applications
Computer-based dental applications
Registration of a 3D scan model to CT images
- Registers a 3D scan model to a 3D surface model which is generated from the region of bone segmented in CT images.
3D teeth model measurement
- Provides an user-based teeth landmark labeling tool and computes dental measurements including tooth size, arch width/length, intercanine width, intermolar width, Bolton ratio, etc.
-
Virtual dental articulator
-Analyzes an individualized mandibular movement using CT images and facial scans with markers.
-Computes the rotational axis, range of angle, and range of translation of mandibular movement.
-Simulates the mandibular movement.
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology in orthodontic treatment & orthognathic surgery
AI in dental (in progress)
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology in orthodontic treatment & orthognathic surgery
-AI-based treatment planning and soft tissue change prediction in orthognathic surgery
-Other AI-based dental processes (Deep learning): cephalometric tracing, dental area segmentations in CT images, landmark detection of 3D teeth model, determination of tooth extraction, etc.
