Abstract Dental cone beam CT (CBCT) scans, due to their low radiation dose, are now widely used in the medical diagnosis of patients’ oral cavity. The reconstruction of a panoramic view of the dental arch from the scanned CBCT data facilitates the dentist’s observation of the patient’s oral condition. The most important technique for reconstructing the dental arch panorama is the extraction of the dental arch curve accurately. The existing method is to rely on the experience of the dentist to manually connect the dental arch curve, or use techniques related to threshold segmentation to extract dental arch curve. These methods rely on the experience of dentists on the one hand. On the other hand, when there are interferences such as implants, metal tubes, braces or missing teeth in the patient’s mouth, the threshold calculation will be wrong. Based on this, this article starts with the histogram of CBCT data, and proposes a highly robust and fully automatic dental arch curve extraction method. In the actual experiment, the dental arch curves of 40 different patients were extracted, and all the dental arch curves can be accurately and automatically extracted, thus verifying the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical accuracy of virtual orthodontic setups by using a new CBCT-based approach. Materials and methods Ten patients who underwent pre-surgical orthodontics were included in this study. Pre-treatment and pre-surgical cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans and digital dental models were available. The pre-treatment digital dental model was used to create an orthodontic virtual setup. The digital dental models were fused with the corresponding CBCT scans, and the two CBCT scans were aligned using voxel-based matching. Moving each individual tooth from the virtual setup to the final outcome allows the calculation of the accuracy of the virtual setup by using an iterative closest point algorithm. Differences between virtual setup and final outcome were recorded as well as the ICC between two observers. Results The inter-observer variability showed a high level of agreement between the observers. The largest mean difference between observers was found in the cranial/caudal direction (0.36 ± 0.30 mm) and the roll rotation (1.54 ± 0.98°). Differences between the virtual setup and final outcome were small in the translational direction (0.45 ± 0.48 mm). Rotational mean differences were larger with the pitch of the incisors (0.00 ± 7.97°) and molars (0.01 ± 10.26°) as largest difference. Excessive extrusion of all upper teeth and more anterior movement than planned were seen for both upper and lower arch. Lower molars showed less extrusion. Clinical relevance The data of this study can be used to obtain more insight in the accuracy and achievability of orthodontic virtual setup. Tooth movement can now be studied in more details which can lead to new insights.
