To be able to perform a dental segmentation, make sure you have aligned a dental scan with the CBCT data (see Import cranium/mandible model).
To visualize the individual scanned teeth:
On the >Diagnose tool bar, click Dental Segmentation .
Note
This action is not available for surgery models that were created without dental scans.
A progress dialog is shown while the algorithm calculates the 3D shape and position of every scanned tooth. The shape of a segmented tooth fits the dental scan at the crown level and matches the CBCT data at the root level.
Scroll through the reslice viewers to verify the correctness of the dental segmentation. If needed, click Adjust segmentation. Click Indicate apices and click on a reslice viewer to indicate the apices.
Check the assigned tooth number for the indicated apex. To change it, make sure the apex point is selected, and then select another tooth number from the drop-down list. To remove an apex, click Remove selected apex.
Notes
This page can also be opened via the Visibility smart panel. Next to a segmented tooth annotation, click the more options icon and select Edit.
Under the Axial viewer, the 3D viewer is hidden. Drag the top Axial viewer window splitter down to reveal the 3D viewer.
The tooth numbering system to be used can be set in the Regional settings.
Click Recalculate to update the tooth segmentation on the current page.
When the segmentation adjustments are complete, click Done.
Click Finish to confirm the segmentation and to see the result in the main scene. The segmented teeth are added to the Visibility smart panel. On a reslice viewer, the outline of the segmented tooth object is shown. Every segmented tooth object is linked to its closest surgery model.
Note
The segmented teeth will be shown in the 3D viewers of osteotomy wizards.
