ToothCR: A Two-Stage Completion and

Reconstruction Approach on 3D Dental Model

1. SUMMARY:

ToothCR focused on two stages to complete the dental model and rebuild the missing
tooth surface. completion of a dental model in the raw 3D coordinates of point clouds,
geometry-aware transformer encoder and a multiscalator generator in the 3D dental
completion task. Self-care mechanism helps to better model long-range dependencies on
point cloud and multiscale, Generator ensures geometric details in the predicted tooth,
Simple and efficient surface reconstruction algorithm that eliminates the negative impact
of noisy points in the point clouds and guarantees the tightness of the reconstructed
surface. Differentiating from traditional treatments that are slow as well as expensive.

2. INTRODUCTION:

It consists of 2 stages:

In the first stage: The ToothCR method that uses a point cloud to predict a missing tooth
in a 3D dental model is proposed. It uses a geometry-aware transformer encoder and
operates directly on the raw 3D coordinates. ToothCR uses the self-healing mechanism
to take advantage of 3D geometric relationships and generates the missing tooth through
a multi-scale generator, achieving accurate recovery of local details in the predicted point
cloud. [1]

In the second stage: ToothCR uses a KNN-based surface reconstruction algorithm to

obtain a holeless triangular mesh from a noisy point cloud. He then uses an octree to
establish geometric connections and extracts an isosurface to construct the final surface
of the tooth. This approach eliminates noise and ensures a complete, hole-free surface
with a 2-header topology.

3. MAIN OBJECTIVE:

It is the application of neural networks, currently they are of greater importance in order
to support research for medical purposes. In this case, it is applied to the reconstruction
of two stages in 3D delta model in such a way that the people in the which are applied
can recover the functionality of the tooth, aesthetics.

4. OUR APPROACH:

ToothCR consists of two stages

4.1. INCOMPLETE COMPLETION OF THE DENTAL MODEL:

Our terminating network first performs the Farthest Point Sample (FPS ) on the data set
to make the inputs have the same number of north points. ToothCR adopts a widely
known dynamic graph CNN (DGCNN) to cluster the input into a smaller set of center
points.

4.2. SURFACE RECONSTRUCTION:

The goal of ToothCR in the second stage is to reconstruct the missing tooth surface from
this cloud of rough points. [2]–[6]

☞ Medium Distance Sampling.

☞ Initialization of KNN.
☞ Octtree rendering.
☞ Extraction of isourface.

5. EXPERIMENTS:

Data Sets: It was experimented with 906 patients, taking only the incomplete dental
model and a single missing tooth to form an input-output pair. Evaluation Metrics:
Various measures were taken for the evaluation, For example: Earth Mover Distance and
score. Implementation Details: The "PyTorch" was implemented in their networks.

6. RESULTS:

We use the methods: CD-yo1, CD-yo2, EMD and F-score metrics, thus obtaining unique
results. Also taking into evaluation three algorithms, to compare: Alpha Shapes, pivoting
ball and Protected Poisson Reconstruction.

7. CONCLUSION:

It is concluded that the proposed ToothCR approach consists of two stages to complete
and reconstruct 3D dental models. It uses a completion network with geometry encoder
and multiscale generator to predict the missing tooth with geometric accuracy. The
surface reconstruction algorithm employs octree and avoids clustered points and holes.
Experiments show that this approach outperforms advanced methods in qualitative and
quantitative comparison.
