AI, CBCT, and dental anatomy in 3D
Practical guides for dental professionals: segmentation, files, surfaces and demonstration-only models.
AI dental segmentation: from CBCT to a 3D anatomical model
Understand how AI turns CBCT data into dental 3D representations, what segmentation means, and what a model cannot establish. A guide for dentists.
Teeth and roots in a CBCT-derived 3D model: reading the segmentation
Learn how to read teeth and roots in a CBCT-derived 3D representation, including separate objects, surfaces, labels, and limits. A guide for dentists.
CBCT versus intraoral scans: what each contributes to a dental 3D model
Compare CBCT and intraoral scan information, understand registration, and learn what to define before requesting a dental 3D representation.
CBCT segmentation quality: what to review beyond the render
Review a CBCT-derived dental model beyond its render: scope, surfaces, presentation changes, and limitations. Visual polish does not prove accuracy.
3D dental models for teaching and demonstration: presenting anatomy clearly
Plan dental anatomy demonstrations with clear questions, useful views, and explicit limits. Use 3D representations from authorized imaging studies.
Dental DICOM to STL: what to request and check at delivery
Specify a dental DICOM-to-STL request with clear structures, objects, formats, and delivery requirements. Explore demonstration-only models with ASTHECA.
What to agree before ordering a 3D representation
Define structures, formats, delivery and technical checks before payment.
Tooth groups and individual teeth: different deliverables
What separating structures means and why the scope belongs in the quote.
How to prepare a DICOM ZIP with one series
An organized upload starts with selecting one CT series and preserving its original files.
STL, PLY and GLB: what each format preserves
Geometry, color and materials serve different purposes when exporting a reconstruction.
Connecting scan slices with the 3D reconstruction
A navigation guide for comparing the volume and its surfaces without confusing presentation with accuracy.
