Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oral prosthetics, and more particularly to a full denture intelligent design method based on multi-task collaborative deep learning. BACKGROUND

[0002] The design of full denture for edentulous jaw includes two parts of artificial tooth array design and base design. The design process of artificial tooth array is complex and highly dependent on the experience of technicians. Specifically, the following core challenges are mainly faced. 1. Strong experience dependence and unstable quality: Tooth arrangement needs to consider key anatomical and functional elements such as jaw plane, midline, jaw arch shape, and extensive uniform occlusal contact to disperse occlusal force and prevent excessive local pressure. This process heavily relies on the experience of technicians to make repeated adjustments of the position and posture (six degrees of freedom, 6-DOF) of artificial teeth. Those who lack experience are prone to make errors in key steps such as jaw position determination and occlusal height setting, resulting in problems such as mucosa pain, occlusal discomfort, and low masticatory efficiency after wearing dentures, affecting patient comfort and prosthetic effect; 2. Tedious and inefficient operation: Traditional methods (including some digital software) require technicians to manually fine-tune the 6-DOF pose of each artificial tooth and repeatedly verify its relationship with the opposite teeth, adjacent teeth, and base. The lack of intelligent evaluation and guidance mechanism makes it difficult to obtain immediate feedback from minor adjustments, requiring multiple interactions, consuming time and effort, and making it difficult to standardize the replication of high-quality results, limiting the promotion at the grassroots level. The design of the base requires cushioning of the edentulous jaw tissue surface, and the subjective experience dependence of technicians is also high. Specifically, the following core challenges are mainly faced. 1. Difficulty in determining the cushioning area of the tissue surface: The mucosa covering the surface of the bony protuberance of the edentulous jaw is thin and will cause pain or form a fulcrum affecting the stability of the denture when under pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to cushion these areas to disperse the pressure and improve the wearing comfort of the patient. In addition, the alveolar ridge of the edentulous jaw undergoes bone resorption, resulting in the loosening of the full denture base supported by the alveolar ridge on the labial and buccal sides. Therefore, it is necessary to fill the undercut caused by bone resorption on the labial and buccal sides of the alveolar bone to provide support for the base. Since the cushioning and undercut filling areas of the tissue surface are not obvious, the process of determining these areas is time-consuming and laborious; 2. Strong experience dependence and unstable quality of base boundary: Traditional base design methods require technicians to manually determine the base boundary and repeatedly verify the boundary position to avoid insufficient base fit causing pain or poor retention during swallowing movement, resulting in denture shedding. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately extract the oral anatomical features of the edentulous jaw patient and precisely segment the base boundary to ensure that the tissue surface support area can bear uniform stress and ensure the retention of the denture. Therefore, how to provide a full denture intelligent design method based on multi-task collaborative deep learning is a problem that those skilled in the art need to solve. SUMMARY

[0047] The deep learning model is used to segment the undercut area of the edentulous jaw model, the seating path direction is projected to form a model with the undercut area, and the model is spliced with the edentulous jaw model to obtain an undercut filling model.

[0048] Adjust the spatial pose of each tooth template based on the multi-rigid body pose prediction network, and arrange the teeth according to the anatomical features of the edentulous patient's oral cavity to obtain the full denture arrangement position;

[0049] Using a deep learning model to segment the denture border from the tissue surface buffered edentulous model;

[0050] Taking the denture border and the full denture arrangement position as constraint conditions, and combining the curvature of the generated surface to construct a composite loss function, a conditional adversarial generative network is used to generate a denture model.

[0051] Further, as shown in Figure 2 The tissue surface buffered edentulous model is generated by the edentulous buffer area mask auto-encoding network, which is specifically: collecting pairs of edentulous model and tissue surface buffered edentulous model data to form edentulous full denture buffer data pairs; training the edentulous buffer area mask auto-encoding network, which generates a buffered model for the bone protuberance area mask by learning the geometric feature information of the edentulous tissue surface buffered model, to obtain the tissue surface buffered edentulous model.

[0065] The calculation formula of the Transformer key point recognition module is:

[0066] Att E (F1, F2) = BN(Att Self (E posi(F1)+F2, F2)+F2);

In this process, the current tooth and the three corresponding teeth of the adjacent teeth on the mesial and distal sides, and the opposite jaw form a local tooth arrangement set T together, and each set contains 6 teeth (if No. 7 is selected, there is no distal tooth, and the set contains 4 teeth).

[0077] Further, as shown in Figure 5 , the denture border and the denture arrangement position are used as constraint conditions, and the curvature of the generated surface is used to construct a composite loss function, and the conditionally generated network is used to generate the denture model, specifically: using the conditional generative adversarial network to use the artificial tooth arrangement model and the denture border as constraint conditions, and constructing a composite loss function L 曲率 and L 义齿包绕The generator is used to initially generate a complete denture base model.

A conditional generative adversarial network is then used to generate the denture base model. Specifically, the artificial tooth arrangement model and the denture base boundary are used as constraints, and a composite loss function L is constructed based on the denture base curvature and the denture surface wrapping rate. 曲率 With L 义齿包绕 The generator is used to initially generate a complete denture base model. The loss is calculated based on the surface geometric features of the generated complete denture base model and the real denture base model as the discriminator loss. The generator parameters are updated in the next round of training through backpropagation and gradient reduction algorithm to make the generated result closer to the real denture base model, until the loss function converges, thus realizing the generation of the complete denture base model.

8. The intelligent design method for complete dentures based on multi-task collaborative deep learning according to claim 7, characterized in that, Constructing a composite loss function L 曲率 With L 义齿包绕 Specifically: In the formula, L 曲率 With L 义齿包绕 These are the curvature loss function and the denture wrapping rate loss function, respectively. base With v base Let A(v) be the set of vertices in the Kito model and the set of vertices in the set. base ) is the vertex v base The sum of the areas of the neighboring triangles, V N u and v are the vertices of v base The set of adjacent vertices and the vertices in the set, where cot represents the cotangent function. and For the edge (v) on the Kito model base The opposite angles on both sides of u, H0 and R target These are the curvature threshold and the wrapping rate threshold, respectively, P root p and ε are the vertex set and points in the denture model, respectively. δ(p) is the Boolean value for determining the wrapping condition. env This is the wrap-around distance threshold.
