Objectives This article reviews recent advances in computer-aided segmentation methods
for oral and maxillofacial surgery and describes the advantages and limitations of these …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to produce an overview of the present visualization
techniques of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) in order to reduce the rates of nerve damage …

Accurate segmentation of mandibular canals in lower jaws is important in dental
implantology. Medical experts manually determine the implant position and dimensions from …

Purpose Accurate segmentation of the mandibular canal in cone beam CT data is a
prerequisite for implant surgical planning. In this article, a new segmentation method based …

Objectives The objective of the study is to assess the correlation between the mandibular
canal tracing done on cone beam CT (CBCT) data, with the size, shape, and position of the …

Oral and maxillofacial surgery, is often planned using 2D and 3D diagnostic images of the
teeth, mandible and other facial structures [1]. The common 2D imaging modality in dental …

Purpose The shape and position of the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) are analyzed to
effectively reduce the risk of iatrogenic injury based on cone‐beam computer tomography …

Accurate 3D localization of the mandibular canal is crucial for the success of digitally-
assisted dental surgeries. Damage to the mandibular canal may result in severe …

We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of software for automatically tracing the
mandibular canal on data from cone-beam computed tomography (CT). After the data had …

Purpose: Tooth segmentation is an essential step in acquiring patient‐specific dental
geometries from cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Tooth segmentation …
