Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of artificial intelligence, and more specifically, to a method, system, device, and storage medium for predicting dental implants based on deep learning. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing use of dental implants to replace missing teeth, implant failure has become more frequent; this increased failure rate is frustrating for both patients and dentists. It typically manifests as fibrous tissue rather than peri-implant osseointegration of the alveolar bone or significant peri-implant marginal bone loss. Implant failure often leads to complex retreatment, which can cause additional physical and psychological problems for patients. Therefore, predicting implant failure is essential for long-term clinical success.

[0003] Peri-implant disease can lead to implant failure, with peri-implantitis being the most common; this is described as a localized lesion involving loss of marginal bone around the implant. Clinical symptoms of peri-implantitis include gingival swelling and progressive bone loss; the former is detected by probing (bleeding during probing), while the latter can be identified on X-rays with a characteristic crater-like margin of bone loss. Generally, inflammation is the primary cause of peri-implantitis, which can lead to implant failure. In such cases, patients require multiple surgical and non-surgical treatments to restore and regenerate the lost bone before undergoing reimplantation surgery, a laborious and costly process. Therefore, early prediction of peri-implant disease allows dentists to be aware of the likelihood of peri-implantitis and take preventative measures even when only mild symptoms or subtle signs are present.

[0004] Another typical implant failure is due to the development of fibrous tissue between the implant and the surrounding bone, without significant marginal bone loss. Unlike successful osseointegration with intact bone-implant contact, a characteristic feature is the presence of 0.5 mm of peri-implant radiolucency. The histopathological mechanisms of this type of failure are not fully understood. Multiple factors, including the patient's medical condition, surgical procedure, and host bone characteristics, can influence implant outcomes. For example, diabetic patients are more likely to experience prolonged osseointegration with the surrounding bone. In other cases, implant failure is more likely to occur when the bone is very sparse or very dense on panoramic radiographs. Therefore, radiological examination based on fine X-rays may reduce the risk of this type of implant failure.

[0005] The study uses demographic data, alveolar bone assessment, intraoral conditions, lifestyle, and implant placement (with or without bone graft procedures) as inputs to establish an implant prediction model. Among these variables, radiological alveolar bone assessment before and after implantation is essential. In fact, imaging information is related to multiple risk factors that may affect the implant outcome, including insufficient bone volume, poor bone quality, periodontal bone loss, and systemic diseases such as osteopenia / osteoporosis and diabetes that may have a harmful effect on implants. Bone metabolism. Under these conditions, establishing osseointegration between the implant and the surrounding bone may be challenging. However, so far, there is no effective method to objectively evaluate the alveolar bone status around the implant in radiographs. Subjectively, there are significant individual differences in film evaluation in daily clinical practice. These limitations may endanger the implant outcome. For example, the superimposition of three-dimensional bone structures may cause subjective evaluation to overestimate the actual bone bonding status in periapical radiographs. In this case, loading before sufficient osseointegration may lead to future failures.

[0006] AI algorithms can provide powerful diagnostic tools to capture characteristic patterns using radiographs in dentistry. Currently, only a few methods mainly use radiographic films to predict the occurrence of implant failure. Our study aims to develop a deep learning-based method that uses panoramic and periapical images to predict the occurrence of implant failure. Convolutional neural networks are used to extract features from the preprocessed images. The model output indicates whether the implant is successful, fails due to perimplant lesions, or fails due to other reasons.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention provides a deep learning-based dental implant prediction method, system, device, and storage medium. Summary of the Invention

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, S110 includes:

[0063] S111. Collect panoramic X-ray images and implantation status information of the user's teeth after periapical implantation. The implantation status information includes at least the preset number of the implanted teeth in the panoramic X-ray image and the implantation result, which includes whether the implantation was successful or failed, but is not limited to this.

[0064] S112. Establish a set of original image samples based on the panoramic X-ray images of the user's teeth, and establish a mapping relationship between each original image sample and the corresponding implantation status information.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, S120 includes:

[0066] S121. Perform image recognition on the above X-ray panoramic image to obtain the image region of each tooth in the image.

[0067] S122. Based on the positional relationship of teeth in the X-ray panoramic image, a mapping relationship is established with the preset tooth numbers.

[0068] S123. Based on the implantation status information corresponding to the X-ray panoramic image, obtain the image area of ​​the corresponding implanted tooth from the X-ray panoramic image as the periapical image.

[0069] S124. Establish sets of training samples for full-circumference images and sets of training samples for periapical images, and establish mapping relationships between periapical images, X-ray panoramic images, and planting status information.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, S123 includes:

[0071] S1231. Based on the implantation status information corresponding to the X-ray panoramic image, obtain the image area of ​​the corresponding implanted tooth from the X-ray panoramic image.

[0072] S1232. Using the center of the image area for dental implantation, take a screenshot from the X-ray panoramic image according to the preset window size to obtain a periapical image.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, S130 includes:

[0074] S131. Use a pre-trained deep learning convolutional neural network model to perform transfer learning on full-circumference image training samples and periapical training samples, train and optimize the deep learning convolutional neural network structure, and save the trained deep learning convolutional neural network model.

[0075] S132. Input the full-circumference image training sample and the periapical training sample of the user's tooth to be identified into the above-trained deep convolutional neural network model for calculation to obtain the prediction results of implant failure and peri-implantitis.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, S131 includes:

[0077] New circumferential and / or periapical training images are obtained by rotating or flipping the circumferential and / or periapical training images. The flipping is within a range of 30°, including horizontal and vertical flipping, but not limited to this.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, S130 includes:

[0079] The aforementioned deep convolutional neural network model is based on the ResNet-50 architecture, which consists of 50 deep layers. By applying convolutional filters of different sizes to the same layer, features of different scales can be obtained. Each epoch randomly divides the training dataset into 32 batches and runs for 1000 epochs with a learning rate optimized by the Adam optimizer. However, the neural network model architecture is not limited to this.

[0080] In implementing this invention, a deep learning-based implant prediction system uses a deep learning model to learn features and proximity details from a mixture of periapical and panoramic images. Preprocessed periapical and panoramic radiographs demonstrate higher accuracy in predicting implant failure due to peri-implant lesions, effectively predicting implant failure. This facilitates early clinical intervention for potential implant failure, thereby preventing implant failure and related complications. The data provided in this study may assist clinicians in making informed decisions. Periapical images are obtained through panoramic X-rays, and the combined application of panoramic and periapical images, along with image rotation and flipping, enhances the dataset's quality. Mapping information such as panoramic X-rays, periapical images, implant number, and implant status increases the features and proximity details learnable by the deep learning convolutional neural network.

[0081] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation process of the training sample module of the deep learning-based dental implant prediction method of the present invention. Figure 2As shown, the user collects the patient's panoramic X-ray images and implant status information from the hospital's database, including the location and number of the implanted tooth among all teeth, and whether the implantation was successful or unsuccessful (but not limited to these). This information serves as the raw data for training the deep learning convolutional neural network model 3. The user crops the patient's panoramic X-ray images to the optimal position to remove irrelevant pixels and meet the requirements of the deep learning convolutional neural network model 3, establishing a set of original image samples. Each original image sample 1 is then mapped to its corresponding implant status information (e.g., panoramic X-ray image, original image sample 1, implant tooth number 122, successful implantation, etc.).

[0082] The user performs image recognition on each original image sample 1 to obtain the location of each implant in the image. Centered on the image region of the implant, a crop is taken from the original image sample 1 according to a preset window size to obtain the periapical image 2, where the preset window size is determined according to the requirements of the deep learning neural network model 3. Sets of original image training samples and periapical image training samples are established separately, and a mapping relationship is established between the X-ray panoramic image, original image sample 1, periapical image 2, and implantation status information (e.g., X-ray panoramic image, original image sample 1, periapical image 2, implant number 122, implantation successful, etc.). New enhanced full-circumference image training samples and / or periapical image training samples are obtained by rotating or flipping the full-circumference image training samples and / or periapical image training samples. The rotation is within a 30° range, and the flipping includes horizontal and vertical flipping, but the enhancement method is not limited to this. Data augmentation can effectively improve data quality with limited data, allowing for better adjustment of the neural network model parameters, thereby improving the accuracy of the neural network model's predictions.

[0083] A pre-trained ResNet-50 model was chosen as the starting point for transfer learning in the model used for dental implant prediction. The ResNet-50 architecture is widely used in various feature extraction applications and effectively addresses the problem that classification performance does not improve, network convergence slows, and accuracy decreases as convolutional neural networks reach a certain depth. The ResNet-50 architecture consists of 50 deep layers. By applying convolutional filters of different sizes to the same layer, features at different scales can be obtained. Each epoch randomly divides the training dataset into 32 batches and runs for 1000 epochs with a learning rate optimized by the Adam optimizer. Transfer learning utilizes existing knowledge to learn new knowledge; its core is finding the similarity between existing and new knowledge. When facing similar tasks, it can leverage existing resources, thereby reducing computational cost. The top-level output of the ResNet-50 model was replaced with the dental implant prediction classification, resulting in only two nodes as the final output. The input-output pairs of the ResNet-50 model were fine-tuned on full-circumferential image training samples and / or periapical image training samples to adapt it to the dental implant prediction task. The enhanced full-circumference image training samples and / or periapical image training samples are input into a pre-trained ResNet-50 architecture deep learning convolutional neural network model 3 for transfer learning, training and optimizing the deep learning convolutional neural network structure. The pre-trained ResNet-50 architecture is used as the basis for transfer learning here, but the model and training method are not limited to it.

[0084] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation process of the implant prediction module in the deep learning-based implant prediction method of this invention. Figure 3 As shown, the user obtains the original image sample 4 by cropping a panoramic X-ray image of a patient's tooth to be identified, and obtains the corresponding periapical image 5 of the implant 422 to be predicted through image recognition and screenshotting. The original image sample 4 and the periapical image 5 are input into the trained deep convolutional neural network model 6 to perform calculations, obtain the confidence scores for each category of implant placement results, and take the result with the highest confidence score as the prediction result.

[0085] In this process, the deep learning-based implant prediction method of this invention uses a deep learning model to learn features and adjacent details from a mixture of periapical and panoramic images. The preprocessed periapical and panoramic radiographs demonstrate higher accuracy in predicting implant failure due to peri-implant lesions, effectively predicting implant failure. This facilitates early clinical intervention for potential implant failure, thereby preventing implant failure and related complications. The data provided by this research may assist clinicians in making decisions and has broad application scenarios in the fields of artificial intelligence and medicine.

A cropping is performed on the X-ray panoramic image with the center of the implant tooth's image region and according to a preset window size to obtain a periapical image. Sets of training samples for the whole-circumference image and periapical image are established separately, and a mapping relationship between the periapical image, the X-ray panoramic image, and the implantation status information is established.

[0092] In a preferred embodiment, the implant prediction module 53 is configured to perform transfer learning on circumferential image training samples and periapical training samples using a pre-trained deep learning convolutional neural network model, train and optimize the deep learning convolutional neural network structure, and save the trained deep learning convolutional neural network model. A circumferential image training sample and a periapical training sample of a user's tooth to be identified are input into the trained deep convolutional neural network model for calculation to obtain prediction results for implant failure and peri-implantitis.
