Description

Method and device for simulating gum deformation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oral cavity, in particular to a method and a device for simulating gum deformation.
Background
In virtual orthodontics, a three-dimensional dental mesh model of a patient is typically obtained by intraoral scanning, the three-dimensional dental mesh model being divided into a crown region and a gum region, typically the gum region being a connected streaming mesh. When correcting a deformed tooth, as the tooth is corrected to reach a target position, the gum also moves with the transfer of the tooth and causes a change in condition.
The current methods for simulating gum deformation mainly comprise a physical method and a non-physical method. The physical method mainly considers the biomechanical characteristics of stress-strain relationship, non-uniformity, anisotropy, viscoelasticity and the like of the gum soft tissue, and simulates the deformation of the gum by utilizing the biomechanical characteristics; the non-physical method mainly constructs a constrained surface through the divided dental crown and gum boundary and adopts minimized energy to realize continuous deformation of the surface. However, the current physical method depends on the definition of force, not only the deformation of the mesh at the dental crown boundary point is excessive and the change of the mesh far away from the boundary point is not obvious, but also the deformation results are different due to different definitions of force, namely the deformation standards are not uniform; current non-physical methods can change the topology of the gingival mesh. In addition, the two methods have the problems of large calculation amount and low simulation efficiency. Therefore, how to effectively and truly simulate the deformation of the gum is urgent to be solved.

Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
The radial basis function is a function whose argument is distance, which may be euclidean distance or otherwise. In the grid deformation, different application scenes can define the movement of different boundary points, the algorithm is independent of grid edges, and only the displacement condition of the points needs to be calculated, so that the topological structure of the grid is not changed at all. The radial basis function interpolation is to solve a new numerical value by using a plurality of radial basis functions. If some points in the data of one point cloud model are constrained, that is, the motion of the points is known in advance or can be predicted, the motion of the rest points or any specified points in the point cloud can be simulated by interpolating the radial basis functions of the motion of the constrained points. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of grid deformation caused by a radial basis function interpolation method. Since the deformation of the gum mesh is close to the algorithm of the radial basis function, the deformation of the gum mesh can be realized by using the radial basis function. The specific implementation mode is as follows:
the embodiment of the invention provides a method for simulating gum deformation, which mainly comprises the following steps of:
101. and determining a gum boundary point, teeth corresponding to the gum boundary point and an immobile point participating in gum grid deformation.
Wherein the gum boundary point is a boundary point where a tooth mesh and the gum mesh are intersected with the gum mesh. When the radial basis function is used for simulating the deformation of the gum grid, the constraint points are determined, and then the moving positions of other points (namely the constrained points) are calculated by using the radial basis function interpolation method. The gum boundary point is closest to the teeth, so the gum boundary point directly moves along with the teeth, the moving degree of the gum boundary point is the same as that of the teeth, and other points can be restrained from moving along with the gum boundary point in different degrees; as a point on the gum mesh is farther from the tooth, the point is less affected by tooth migration until a critical area is reached that is unaffected by tooth migration but is closest to the tooth and can constrain the deformation state of other points. The constraint points in the gingival grid deformation thus include gingival boundary points and motionless points involved in the gingival grid deformation.
Since there are many teeth in a set of teeth, each tooth will only affect the peripheral gingival boundary point to move, so after obtaining the gingival boundary point, it is also necessary to determine the tooth corresponding to each gingival boundary point.
It is added that the motionless points that do not participate in the deformation of the gum mesh do not participate in the subsequent operations, which can greatly reduce the computation of the mesh points.
102. And taking a point between a boundary line formed by the gum boundary points and a boundary line formed by the immobile points as a deformation point, and determining the tooth corresponding to each deformation point.
After the gum boundary point and the immobile point are determined, other non-constraint points constrained by the gum boundary point and the immobile point need to be found out, namely points between a boundary line formed by the gum boundary point and a boundary line formed by the immobile point are located, the found points are used as deformation points, and then teeth corresponding to each deformation point are determined so that each deformation point can move along with the corresponding teeth to be closer to real gum deformation.
103. When the teeth are transferred, the positions of the gum boundary points and the deformation points corresponding to the transferred teeth are updated by using a transfer matrix and a radial basis function interpolation method of the transferred teeth so as to update the gum grid.
When the teeth move, the transfer matrix of the moved teeth can be used for updating the positions of the gum boundary points corresponding to the teeth, then the updated positions of the deformed points corresponding to the teeth which move are calculated by using the updated positions of the gum boundary points and a radial basis function interpolation method, the fixed points which participate in the gum grid deformation keep the positions of the deformed points, and finally the gum grid is updated by updating the positions of the gum boundary points and the deformed points, so that the gum grid deformation is realized.
It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a scene in which only a single tooth is transferred (e.g. gingival grid deformation during interactive tooth arrangement), and can also be applied to a scene in which multiple teeth are transferred (e.g. gingival grid deformation after automatic tooth arrangement). The interactive tooth arrangement is realized by manually transferring a certain tooth by using tooth arrangement software, for example, the interactive operation includes axial translation of a crown root, lateral translation of a buccolingual side, mesial translation, axial rotation around the crown root, lateral rotation around the buccolingual side, mesial rotation, and the like. When applied to interactive tooth arrangement, the gingival mesh may be deformed in real time with the transfer of teeth; when the method is applied to automatic tooth arrangement, the gum grid deformation can be realized according to the tooth and gum condition before tooth arrangement and the tooth arrangement result, so as to obtain the gum grid information corresponding to the tooth arrangement result.
In addition, the radial basis function used in the embodiment of the present invention may be a global support function MQB, and the radial basis function is taken as

The gum deformation simulation method provided by the embodiment of the invention can determine gum boundary points, teeth corresponding to the gum boundary points and immobile points participating in gum grid deformation, then take points between boundary lines formed by the gum boundary points and boundary lines formed by the immobile points as deformation points, determine teeth corresponding to each deformation point, and finally update the positions of the gum boundary points and the deformation points corresponding to the teeth which are subjected to the transfer by directly using a transfer matrix and a radial basis function interpolation method of the teeth which are subjected to the transfer when the teeth are transferred, wherein the positions of the immobile points are not changed. Therefore, the three characteristic points, namely the gingival boundary point, the fixed point and the deformation point, participating in the gum deformation are determined based on the gum deformation process, and the three characteristic points move along with the tooth transfer according to the deformation characteristics of the three characteristic points, so that excessive deformation and unobvious deformation are avoided, the topological structure of a gum grid is not changed, and the gum deformation is simulated more truly. When the tooth is transferred again, the positions of the feature points can be updated only by performing operation according to the current positions of the three feature points and by using a radial basis function interpolation method, so that the re-deformation of the gum is simulated.
Further, according to the method shown in fig. 2, another embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for simulating gum deformation, as shown in fig. 3, the method comprising:
201. and determining a gum boundary point, teeth corresponding to the gum boundary point and an immobile point participating in gum grid deformation.
In practical applications, the specific implementation methods for determining the teeth corresponding to the gingival boundary points and the immobile points participating in the deformation of the gingival grid can be various, and the following methods are respectively described by taking a preferred mode as an example:
the specific implementation manner of determining the gum boundary point and the tooth corresponding to the gum boundary point may be: firstly, acquiring a tooth boundary point of each tooth and a gum boundary point of the gum grid; then determining the centroid point of each tooth; respectively calculating the distance between each gum boundary point and each center of mass point according to each gum boundary point, and taking the teeth corresponding to the minimum distance and the next minimum distance as candidate teeth corresponding to the gum boundary points; and finally, respectively calculating the distance from each tooth boundary point of the candidate teeth to the corresponding gum boundary point, and determining the candidate teeth corresponding to the minimum distance as the teeth corresponding to the gum boundary point.
When the tooth boundary point of each tooth and the gum boundary point of the gum grid are obtained, an algorithm for extracting the characteristic edge of the grid boundary is adopted, namely, a set of the searched edges is obtained. Each edge only exists on one triangle, and the implementation adopts the vtkFeatureEdges.
(II) the specific implementation manner of determining the motionless point participating in the gingival grid deformation can be as follows: moving the upper jaw target plane for a certain distance along the upward direction of the normal of the upper jaw target plane, and moving the lower jaw target plane for a certain distance along the downward direction of the normal of the lower jaw target plane, so that two cutting lines are obtained by enabling the moved target plane to be tangent with the gum mesh; and sequencing the points on each cutting line, sampling according to the sequence of the points so that the distance between two adjacent points in the collected points is greater than a preset threshold value, and determining the points obtained by sampling as immobile points. Wherein the specific tooth comprises an incisor and a first molar; and/or the preset threshold value is 10 mm. The sampling reason can reduce the number of the constraint points in the subsequent equation system solving calculation on one hand, and relatively uniform sampling can be performed on the sequenced cutting line according to rules on the other hand, so that the correctness of the constraint points when the radial basis interpolation deformation is applied is also ensured.
The process of sorting the points on the cutting line may be as follows: starting from any node, judging whether two neighbor nodes (each point has two neighbor nodes) are added into the result, if one of the two neighbor nodes is not added, the next judged node is the node which is not added. The cutting line after the point sequencing can be obtained by the circulation.
For example, the upper jaw is fitted to an upper jaw target plane with the centroid points of the four teeth 11, 21, 16, 26, and then the target plane is translated upward by 10mm to generate a cutting line of the upper jaw, the lower jaw is fitted to a lower jaw target plane with the centroid points of the four teeth 31, 41, 36, 46, and the target plane is translated downward by 10mm to generate a cutting line of the lower jaw; then, the immobile points of the upper jaw and the lower jaw are obtained by sequencing and sampling the points on the two cutting lines. Here, the tooth marks 11, 21, 16, 26, 31, 41, 36, 46 are marked according to the FDI (F d ration dental association) dentition marking method.
202. And taking a point between a boundary line formed by the gum boundary points and a boundary line formed by the immobile points as a deformation point, and determining the tooth corresponding to each deformation point.
When determining the tooth corresponding to each deformation point, the centroid point of each tooth may be determined first, then the distance between the deformation point and each centroid point is calculated, and finally the tooth to which the centroid point closest to the deformation point belongs is directly determined as the tooth corresponding to the deformation point.
203. When the teeth are transferred, determining the position of the gum boundary point corresponding to the transferred teeth after moving according to the transfer matrix of the transferred teeth and the position of the gum boundary point corresponding to the transferred teeth before moving.
Since the gum boundary point is close to the tooth, the tooth transfer matrix can be directly used as the transfer matrix corresponding to the gum boundary point, and the position of the gum boundary point after moving can be calculated by combining the position of the gum boundary point before moving.
204. And calculating the displacement of the gum boundary point according to the position of the gum boundary point before the movement and the position after the movement.
205. And determining the displacement of each deformation point by using the radial basis function interpolation method according to the displacement of the gum boundary point and the orthogonality of the weight coefficients of all the constraint points.
Specifically, a linear equation set may be obtained by using an equation formed based on orthogonality of the weight coefficients of the respective constraint points and an equation formed by a radial basis function interpolation formula satisfied by the constraint points; then, substituting the components of the displacement of the gum boundary point in each dimension into the linear equation set respectively, calculating to obtain the components of the vector consisting of the unknown parameters in the radial basis function interpolation formula in each dimension, and determining each unknown parameter based on the calculated components; and finally, calculating the displacement of each deformation point by a radial basis function interpolation formula after each unknown parameter is determined.
Wherein the constraint points comprise gum boundary points and motionless points. The equation formed based on the orthogonality of the weight coefficients of the constraint points is

And calculating the displacement of each deformation point so as to determine the position after the movement according to the displacement and the position before the movement.
206. And determining the position of each deformed point after movement according to the position of each deformed point before movement and the corresponding displacement.
Since the directional line segment from the initial position to the final position is called a displacement, when the position before the movement (i.e., the initial position) and the displacement are known, the position after the movement (i.e., the final position) can be calculated.
207. And updating the gum grid based on the position of the gum boundary point after movement and the position of the deformed point after movement.
