Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dental diagnosis, and particularly relates to a periodontal disease precise quantitative evaluation method, system and device based on IOS images and CBCT images and a storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] Periodontal disease is a global health concern, characterized by progressive and largely irreversible loss of gingiva and alveolar bone, ultimately leading to tooth loss. The Global Oral Health Report shows that about 19% of individuals over the age of 15 have severe periodontal disease, with a total of more than 1 billion cases worldwide, and the number is increasing year by year. Therefore, timely and accurate assessment is crucial for effective treatment intervention. Clinically, periodontal pocket depth measured by periodontal probe is the standard method for quantitative assessment of disease severity. Shallow periodontal pocket depth usually indicates healthier gums, while deeper periodontal pocket usually indicates inflammation and potential periodontal disease. However, this probing technique, although standard, is subjective, prone to human error, invasive, and only measures the values of six key points to measure the degree of tooth health. Therefore, developing an accurate, efficient and non-invasive assessment system is crucial for effective management of periodontal disease.
[0003] Recently, with the development of medical imaging technology, some digital dental technologies (such as two-dimensional panoramic X-ray imaging, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging and intraoral scanning (IOS) technology) have become important tools to assist in periodontal assessment. Among the above technologies, X-ray imaging is designed based on the principle of tomography, and the obtained X-ray image can only provide two-dimensional projection information of teeth and bones; CBCT imaging scans the target area in all directions, and the obtained CBCT image can provide three-dimensional information of teeth and alveolar bone; IOS technology is to superimpose the data collected at different positions in the mouth, and finally form a complete three-dimensional IOS image, providing high-resolution crown (the part of the tooth exposed outside the gum) and gum information.
[0004] With the development of computer technology, many existing researches use deep learning technology based on dental images (e.g., two-dimensional panoramic X-ray images and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images) to evaluate periodontal health. Among them, some researchers detect radiological bone level and cement-enamel junction (CEJ) level from X-ray images respectively, then measure the distance of key points in the two levels along the long axis of the tooth, thereby performing percentage analysis of radiological bone loss (RBL) and staging. In addition, some researchers discuss the role of three-dimensional CBCT images in periodontal disease evaluation. They use commercial software to semi-automatically export 3D models of teeth and bones, and use manual measurement method to measure the distance of bone level to determine the degree of periodontitis. Although these methods provide a feasible strategy for periodontal disease evaluation, they still have the following limitations. First, the information provided by the images used by these methods is insufficient, and the usefulness of gingival information for early periodontal disease evaluation is not considered. Among them, X-ray images reflect the overlapping information of tooth bone and other structures, which is distorted and difficult to accurately determine the three-dimensional position and shape information of the lesion; CBCT images can provide complete three-dimensional bone information, but cannot reflect the health status of the gums. Second, these methods evaluate the degree of alveolar bone loss, and only locate a single tooth and calculate the distance of a few points, which cannot fully show the degree of periodontal disease of each tooth, especially the degree of gingival loss in the early stage. Finally, the measurement steps of these methods require additional image key point labeling, and quantitative measurement still heavily relies on the professional knowledge of dentists, and cannot automatically provide quantitative results for periodontal evaluation.

[0057] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The periodontal disease precise quantitative evaluation method based on IOS image and CBCT image provided by the present embodiment includes the following steps:
[0058] The IOS image is image segmented to obtain IOS segmentation results of each tooth, and specifically, in this embodiment, the points of the input IOS image containing teeth are down-sampled, and after processing, the segmented tooth crown and gingiva are obtained.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 The IOS image is image segmented to obtain IOS segmentation results of each tooth, and specifically, in this embodiment, the points of the input IOS image containing teeth are down-sampled, and after processing, the segmented tooth crown and gingiva are obtained.
[0060] The IOS image is down-sampled to obtain sampling points, and IOS images in different directions are rotated to a unified position to obtain a unified IOS image, and specifically, in this embodiment, the model rotation network (Rotation Network) in the Pointnet++ network is used to rotate the IOS image to the unified position, and in other embodiments, other networks can be used to rotate the IOS image to the unified position.
[0061] According to the tooth center data obtained from the sampling points and the unified IOS image, the tooth image block of each tooth is generated, and specifically, in this embodiment, the centroid prediction network (Centroid Prediction Network) in the Pointnet++ network is used to obtain the tooth center point data of the IOS image rotated to the unified position, and in other embodiments, other networks can be used to obtain the tooth center point data of the IOS image rotated to the unified position.
[0062] According to the gingiva label data obtained from the unified IOS image, the gingiva average curvature information of the tooth image block is calculated to obtain the tooth and gingiva boundary information, and specifically, in this embodiment, the gingiva separation network (Gingival Separation Network) in the Pointnet++ network is used to obtain the gingiva label data of the IOS image rotated to the unified position, and in other embodiments, other networks can be used to obtain the gingiva label data of the IOS image rotated to the unified position.
[0063] The tooth image block and the tooth and gingiva boundary information are segmented by the crown segmentation network to obtain the IOS segmented tooth and gingiva, and the IOS segmented tooth is corrected to obtain the corrected tooth result, and specifically, in this embodiment, the crown segmentation network in the Pointnet++ network is used to segment 32 kinds of teeth and 1 kind of gingiva, and in other embodiments, other networks can be used to segment 32 kinds of teeth and 1 kind of gingiva, and the IOS segmented tooth label is output.
[0064] More preferably, the IOS segmented teeth are corrected to obtain a corrected tooth result, further comprising:

[0075] The IOS segmentation result and the CBCT segmentation result are preprocessed and registered to obtain a data fusion model, specifically, in the embodiment, the aligned tooth crown, tooth and alveolar bone are obtained according to the IOS segmentation result and the CBCT segmentation result.
[0076] Preferably, the IOS result and the CBCT result are preprocessed and registered to obtain a data fusion model, further comprising:

6. A precise quantitative assessment system for periodontal disease based on ISO images and CBCT images, characterized in that, include: The IOS image segmentation module is used to segment intraoral scan IOS images to obtain IOS segmentation results for each tooth. The CBCT image segmentation module is used to segment CBCT images to obtain the CBCT segmentation results for each tooth. A multimodal data fusion module is used to perform format matching and registration of the IOS results and the CBCT results to obtain a data fusion model; The GBD measurement and quantitative assessment module is used to obtain the gingival contour and tooth long axis according to the data fusion model, obtain gingival contour points according to the gingival contour, obtain alveolar bone contour along the direction of the tooth long axis and obtain the GBD distance, and assess periodontal disease according to the GBD distance. The process of preprocessing and registering the IOS results and the CBCT results to obtain a data fusion model further includes: The reconstructed CBCT segmentation results are obtained by reconstructing the tooth and alveolar bone mesh from the CBCT segmentation results using the moving cube algorithm. Principal component analysis is used to separate the principal component directions of the reconstructed CBCT segmentation results and the IOS segmentation results, and the CBCT center point data is integrated. Singular value decomposition is used to calculate the transformation parameters between the center point data of the reconstructed CBCT segmentation results and the IOS segmentation results, so as to complete the coarse registration by aligning the dental arch position and dental arch direction. Based on the coarse registration, an iterative nearest point matching registration algorithm is used for each tooth to perform point-to-surface registration on the reconstructed CBCT segmentation results and the IOS segmentation results to complete the fine registration, so as to unify the IOS segmentation results and the reconstructed CBCT segmentation results to the same position and obtain the data fusion model. Based on the gingival contour points on the data fusion model, the alveolar bone contour is obtained along the direction of the tooth long axis obtained from the data fusion model, and the GBD distance is acquired. Further steps include: The gingival contour is obtained from the vertices on the edge of the crown mesh of the data fusion model, and the number of gingival contour points is specified according to the gingival contour. The gingival contour points are then obtained by interpolation. The tooth long axis is generated from the tooth vertex data of the data fusion model through the principal component analysis. The alveolar bone contour is obtained on the alveolar bone based on the gingival contour point along the direction of the long axis of the tooth, so as to obtain the GBD distance.
