Abstract

The classification of intraoral teeth structures is a critical component in modern dental analysis and forensic dentistry. Traditional methods, relying on 2D imaging, often suffer from limitations in accuracy and comprehensiveness due to the complex three-dimensional (3D) nature of dental anatomy. Although 3D imaging introduces the third dimension, offering a more comprehensive view, it also introduces additional challenges due to the irregular nature of the data. Our proposed approach addresses these issues with a novel method that extracts critical representative features from 3D tooth models and transforms them into a 2D image format suitable for detailed analysis. The 2D images are subsequently processed using a recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture, which effectively detects complex patterns essential for accurate classification, while its capability to manage sequential data is further augmented by fully connected layers specifically designed for this purpose. This innovative approach improves accuracy and diagnostic efficiency by reducing manual analysis and speeding up processing time, overcoming the challenges of 3D data irregularity and leveraging its detailed representation, thereby setting a new standard in dental identification.

使用深度学习的法医牙科3D牙齿识别。
口腔内牙齿结构的分类是现代牙科分析和法医牙科的关键组成部分。传统的方法依赖于二维成像,由于牙科解剖复杂的三维(3D)性质,往往在准确性和全面性方面受到限制。虽然3D成像引入了第三维度,提供了更全面的视图,但由于数据的不规则性,它也带来了额外的挑战。我们提出的方法通过一种新颖的方法解决了这些问题,该方法从3D牙齿模型中提取关键的代表性特征,并将其转换为适合详细分析的2D图像格式。2D图像随后使用循环神经网络(RNN)架构进行处理,该架构有效地检测准确分类所必需的复杂模式,同时通过专门为此目的设计的完全连接层进一步增强其管理顺序数据的能力。这种创新的方法通过减少人工分析和加快处理时间来提高准确性和诊断效率,克服了3D数据不规则性的挑战,并利用其详细表示,从而树立了牙科识别的新标准。
