Dental Bio-Metrics Information used for Binary Image Processing, Segmentation and Matching
Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate if the binary technique can be applied to field of dental implants. We came up with new dental implants whose tooth roots with a Crescent Groove. From these two aspects, we hope to improve the technology of dental implants. Study design: We took dental implant surgery photos of a 28 year old female patient by analyze for the application of binarization technique. The uniqueness feature for insertion of the titanium dental implant contains several teeth in different portions. After the process of the binary image technique, the colourful images become gray ones, and the teeth and mucosa have unique feature information in different gray scales. Binary values are from 0 to 255, 256 digits. The threshold value range is [0, 255]. We just take the interval of 100-190 scale. Then, we divided them into the different ranges of these values. After that, to compare different stages of operation surgery in different scales, we observed the clarity of teeth and mucosa the datum was used in statistical analysis. In addition, we present a special structure of the root implant dentistry: Crescent Groove, proposed a new type of dental implant structure model which provides a theoretical basis for future clinical treatment. Results: We found that range from 1-255, in the 140-160 range, tooth shape is the clearest and background noises are almost completely hidden. When over 160, however, tooth shape also started to be hidden when this value is set at 190 and shape of the teeth are almost completely hidden. The clear interval taken 44.4%, accounting for 15.6% of the total range. From mechanical and biological point of view, crescent groove structure can better buffer pressure, to form good synostosis with the alveolar bone. Conclusion: Range from 120-160, the teeth are clear and background color is almost hidden, which provides for image processing with some reference values. What’s more, for the appearance structure, this paper proposes a utility model structure of dental implants.
