Abstract

With the wide application of digital technology in the field of stomatology, the acquisition of three-dimensional tooth and dentition information through three-dimensional (3D) image data and optical scan data has become an indispensable process in clinical diagnosis and analysis. Cone-beam CT images and optical scanning images have their own characteristics in terms of data acquisition range and the accuracy of data. Single data source is not accurate enough or complete in the delivery of tooth and dental information. At present, two data sources are used to construct a 3D crown root model with high-precision crown and complete root information to meet the requirement of clinical orthodontic functional setup and implant surgical guide design. The integration of tooth crown and root is one of the focused topics of clinical research. This review will summarize the research progress of 3D crown root model construction method, introduce the application of various algorithms, and analyze the characteristics of these approaches, in order to provide reference for clinical application and scientific research.

随着数字化技术在口腔医学领域的广泛应用,通过三维影像数据和光学扫描数据获取牙齿、牙列三维信息用于临床诊断和分析,已成为数字化诊疗不可或缺的环节。影像学数据与光学扫描数据在数据获取范围和数据精度方面各有特点,单一数据来源对牙齿及牙颌信息的表达均不够精确或完整。目前,口腔医学领域常通过对上述两种来源数据进行一体化处理,运用特定方法或算法构建兼具高精度牙冠信息和完整牙根信息的三维冠根整合模型,以满足口腔临床在正畸功能性诊断排牙、种植手术导板设计,以及各种牙体、牙周手术导板设计方面的需求。这种构建三维冠根整合模型的一体化处理方法是口腔医学临床研究关注的热点问题之一。本文将针对三维冠根整合模型构建方法的研究进展进行梳理和归纳,回顾各种算法在口腔医学领域的应用情况,并分析评价这些算法技术的特点,以期为临床应用和科研提供参考。.
