In this paper, we propose a novel framework, consisting of DentalNet and PulpNet neural networks, for accurate and automatic segmentation of individual tooth and root canal from CBCT images. Our method achieves superior performances compared to several comparing methods and significantly reduces the time required for surgical planning. Incorporating our method into the clinical workflow leads to satisfying outcomes in difficult root canal treatments.
Accurate and automatic segmentation of individual tooth and root canal from cone-beam computed tomogra-phy (CBCT) images is an essential but challenging step for dental surgical planning. In this paper, we propose a novel framework, which consists of two neural networks, DentalNet and PulpNet, for efficient, precise, and fully automatic tooth instance segmentation and root canal segmentation from CBCT images. We first use the proposed DentalNet to achieve tooth instance segmentation and identification. Then, the region of interest (ROI) of the affected tooth is extracted and fed into the PulpNet to obtain precise segmentation of the pulp chamber and the root canal space. These two networks are trained by multi-task feature learning and evaluated on two clinical datasets respectively and achieve superior performances to several comparing methods. In addition, we incorporate our method into an efficient clinical workflow to improve the surgical planning process. In two clinical case studies, our workflow took only 2 min instead of 6 h to obtain the 3D model of tooth and root canal effectively for the surgical planning, resulting in satisfying outcomes in difficult root canal treatments.
