Revolutionizing Tooth Segmentation with Transformer-Based 3D Technology

Posted: November 18, 2024
The article introduces a groundbreaking Transformer-based 3D tooth segmentation network, PointRegion, designed to enhance computer-aided dentistry. This innovative network effectively partitions and processes 3D dental point clouds, overcoming memory limitations and computational costs. By creating learnable regions and utilizing offset-attention, global context modeling is achieved for precise tooth segmentation. The novel point-to-region association mechanism improves point-level segmentation accuracy on irregular 3D data. The PointRegion model showcases superior performance on dental datasets, offering a cost-effective and memory-efficient solution for accurate tooth segmentation in dentistry.
