Oral-3D: Reconstructing the 3D Structure of Oral Cavity from Panoramic X-ray

Panoramic X-ray (PX) provides a 2D picture of the patient's mouth in panoramic view to help dentists observe invisible disease inside gum. However, it limited information compared with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), another dental imaging method that generates 3D oral cavity but more radiation dose and higher price. Consequently, is great interest reconstruct structure from image, which can greatly explore application surgeries. In this paper, we propose framework, named Oral-3D, single PX image prior arch. Specifically, first train generative model learn cross-dimension transformation 3D. Then restore shape deformation module arch curve, be obtained simply by taking photo mouth. To noted, Oral-3D both density bony tissues curved mandible surface. Experimental results show efficiently effectively critical clinical applications, e.g., tooth pulling implants. best our knowledge, are domain problem between these two methods.
