INTRODUCTION: In the treatment of malocclusion, continuous monitoring of the three-dimensional relationship between dental roots and the surrounding alveolar bone is essential for preventing complications from orthodontic procedures. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides detailed root and bone data, but its high radiation dose limits its frequent use, consequently necessitating an alternative for ongoing monitoring.
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to develop a deep learning-based cross-temporal multimodal image fusion system for acquiring root and jawbone information without additional radiation, enhancing the ability of orthodontists to monitor risk.
METHODS: Utilizing CBCT and intraoral scans (IOSs) as cross-temporal modalities, we integrated deep learning with multimodal fusion technologies to develop a system that includes a CBCT segmentation model for teeth and jawbones. This model incorporates a dynamic kernel prior model, resolution restoration, and an IOS segmentation network optimized for dense point clouds. Additionally, a coarse-to-fine registration module was developed. This system facilitates the integration of IOS and CBCT images across varying spatial and temporal dimensions, enabling the comprehensive reconstruction of root and jawbone information throughout the orthodontic treatment process.
RESULTS: The experimental results demonstrate that our system not only maintains the original high resolution but also delivers outstanding segmentation performance on external testing datasets for CBCT and IOSs. CBCT achieved Dice coefficients of 94.1 % and 94.4 % for teeth and jawbones, respectively, and it achieved a Dice coefficient of 91.7 % for the IOSs. Additionally, in the context of real-world registration processes, the system achieved an average distance error (ADE) of 0.43 mm for teeth and 0.52 mm for jawbones, significantly reducing the processing time.
CONCLUSION: We developed the first deep learning-based cross-temporal multimodal fusion system, addressing the critical challenge of continuous risk monitoring in orthodontic treatments without additional radiation exposure. We hope that this study will catalyze transformative advancements in risk management strategies and treatment modalities, fundamentally reshaping the landscape of future orthodontic practice.
