These teeth were scanned using micro-CT. The acquired images were randomly divided (simple random sampling) into a training set (10 teeth), a test set (90 teeth), and an independent test set (10 teeth) at a ratio of 1∶9∶1. 3D pulp cavity images were meticulously annotated by two oral clinicians (attending physicians) to establish the ground truth for segmentation. By introducing a cross-domain adaptation strategy, the natural image segmentation foundation model, segment anything model (SAM), was transferred to the task of pulp cavity image segmentation under the guidance of a limited number of training samples, thereby constructing an automatic micro-CT pulp cavity image segmentation model (PulpSAM). Multi-dimensional quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed to compare the segmentation performance on the pulp cavity (entire pulp cavity, apical 3 mm, and lateral accessory canals) achieved by deep learning models obtained with different numbers of training samples (0, 1, 3, and 10 teeth), i.e., SAM, PulpSAM-1, PulpSAM-3, and PulpSAM-10.

The data were obtained from Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology and Nanjing Stomatological Hospital, involving patients aged 35-50 years. Among them, 720 cases were used for model training and 60 for testing. An octree-structured diffusion model was constructed to achieve two stages of three-dimensional crown morphology generation: unconditional generation and mask-conditioned generation. In the unconditional generation stage, Earth mover's distance (EMD) was used as the metric for morphological discrepancy, and the occlusal contact areas of generated crowns (DM-U) were compared with those of natural teeth. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. In the conditional generation stage, clinical intraoral scan data were collected from 12 healthy volunteers at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between September 2024 and February 2026, including six males and six females aged 22-24 years. Crowns were generated for the diffusion model generated crown with the mask condition group (DM group) and compared among four groups: natural teeth (NA group), technician-designed crowns (TE group), and automatically generated crowns (AT group). Three-dimensional coordinate deviations and euclidean distance errors of five anatomical landmarks were analyzed. Root mean square error (RMSE) of the three-dimensional surface was calculated using natural teeth as the gold standard. Statistical analysis was performed using the Friedman test. <b>Results:</b> In the unconditional generation evaluation, EMD results showed a coverage rate of 50.88%, a minimum matching distance (MMD) of 1.74, and a 1-nearest neighbor accuracy (1-NNA) of 0.504, indicating high similarity between generated crowns and natural teeth in feature space.
