3D tooth identification for forensic dentistry using deep learning.
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.
