Abstract

BACKGROUND: Autologous tooth transplantation requires precise surgical guide design, involving manual tracing of donor tooth contours based on patient cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. While manual corrections are time-consuming and prone to human errors, deep learning-based approaches show promise in reducing labor and time costs while minimizing errors. However, the application of deep learning techniques in this particular field is yet to be investigated.
