用扩散模型学习牙齿排列变换分布,提升正畸自动对齐精度。

TAlignDiff: Automatic Tooth Alignment assisted by Diffusion-based Transformation Learning

  • 结合点云回归与扩散模型,学习牙齿变换的潜在分布。
  • 在临床数据上实现更高精度的牙齿对齐,优于传统方法。
  • 适合正畸医生和医学AI研究者参考应用。

正畸治疗的核心是牙齿对齐,直接影响咬合功能、面部美观及患者生活质量。现有深度学习方法主要通过点对点几何约束预测变换矩阵,但这些矩阵受口腔解剖结构影响,具有特定分布特征,而以往方法未能捕捉此类特性。为此,本文提出TAlignDiff,一种基于扩散模型的自动牙齿对齐方法。该方法由两个核心组件构成:基于点云的回归网络(PRN)用于点云级对齐,以及扩散式变换矩阵去噪模块(DTMD),从临床数据中学习变换矩阵的潜在分布。通过几何约束与扩散精修的双向反馈,将点云变换回归与扩散建模统一于同一框架。大量消融与对比实验验证了本方法的有效性与优越性,展现了其在正畸治疗中的应用潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Orthodontic treatment hinges on tooth alignment, which significantly affects occlusal function, facial aesthetics, and patients' quality of life. Current deep learning approaches predominantly concentrate on predicting transformation matrices through imposing point-to-point geometric constraints for tooth alignment. Nevertheless, these matrices are likely associated with the anatomical structure of the human oral cavity and possess particular distribution characteristics that the deterministic point-to-point geometric constraints in prior work fail to capture. To address this, we introduce a new automatic tooth alignment method named TAlignDiff, which is supported by diffusion-based transformation learning. TAlignDiff comprises two main components: a primary point cloud-based regression network (PRN) and a diffusion-based transformation matrix denoising module (DTMD). Geometry-constrained losses supervise PRN learning for point cloud-level alignment. DTMD, as an auxiliary module, learns the latent distribution of transformation matrices from clinical data. We integrate point cloud-based transformation regression and diffusion-based transformation modeling into a unified framework, allowing bidirectional feedback between geometric constraints and diffusion refinement. Extensive ablation and comparative experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our method, highlighting its potential in orthodontic treatment.
