Temporomandibular joint load estimation in chewing process using radiology images and deep learning methods
Summary of the necessity of project implementation
Maxillofacial specialists use the experimental method of cephalometric analysis to investigate jaw and teeth problems, in which landmarks are used to calculate standard angles and sizes. This method provides the ability to diagnose and measure dental and jaw problems through radiology images. Also, having a force analysis of the jaw along with a cephalometric analysis can provide doctors with a lot of help in making treatment decisions. Maxillofacial specialists use the experimental method of cephalometric analysis to investigate jaw and teeth problems, in which landmark points (landmarks) are used to calculate standard angles and sizes. This method provides the ability to diagnose and measure dental and jaw problems through radiological images. Also, having a force analysis of the jaw along with a cephalometric analysis can provide doctors with a lot of help in making treatment decisions. Cephalometric analysis uses radiological images to accurately identify and measure landmarks. These landmarks are specific points on images that provide critical information. For example, the angles of the occlusal plane that distribute the pressure and forces on the teeth. This important information is used in planning dental and orthodontic treatments. Current methods of cephalometric analysis face challenges that need to be resolved. These challenges include the need for specialized and skilled manpower to perform accurate landmarking on radiology images, which currently takes about 30 minutes to landmark a sample. Landmarking is a sensitive and time-consuming process that requires a lot of experience and precision. Factors such as human error or inexperience can reduce the accuracy and reliability of analyses. Also, one of the other challenges of these methods is the high costs associated with it. Carrying out cephalometric analysis with skilled and long-term labor may bring significant costs. In this regard, we are looking for solutions to minimize the time and cost required for landmarking, as well as to increase its accuracy and reliability.
