Description

System and method for detecting caries and position thereof based on artificial intelligence
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of caries detection, in particular to a system and a method for detecting caries and positions thereof based on artificial intelligence.
Background
Caries is a common, multifactorial, induced disease, primarily due to interactions of sugars and microorganisms on the tooth surface over time, involving lesions of dentin, cementum, and possibly further invading the pulp, causing pulpitis or periapical inflammation, or tooth loss. According to the 4 th national oral health epidemiological survey result, the following results are shown: the caries rate of permanent teeth of children aged 12 years is 34.5%, and the caries rate of deciduous teeth of children aged 5 years is 70%, and the caries rate is gradually increased, so that the caries is a common disease with high incidence. Therefore, detection of caries at an early stage and immediate intervention is a medical problem that is urgently needed to be solved.
The traditional method for diagnosing decayed teeth is mainly diagnosed by clinicians according to colors, shapes and qualities, lacks objective and uniform standards, and is difficult to provide a method for evaluating decayed teeth exactly. This subjective evaluation method according to doctors mainly has 2 problems: the subjective evaluations of different doctors are different; the subjective judgment standard of the same doctor is easy to have unstable judgment due to environmental reasons and the like. And diagnosis of early caries is more difficult. The cross-sectional photomicrography technique is the most practical and widely accepted standard for quantitatively researching early caries lesion gold at present. However, conventional imaging examinations have limited sensitivity and specificity for alveolar caries.
Hospital studies have shown that under UV light, teeth fluoresce spontaneously green, while carious lesions emit less intense fluorescence than healthy teeth. Therefore, research has been conducted to detect the mineralization of early caries using the fluorescence-guided technique as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. Nevertheless, the correlation coefficient of the immunofluorescence technique for the diagnosis of alveolar caries is only 0.53(Lee HS, J Biomed Opt,2018,23(9):1-7) with histological examination as gold standard, and the judgment for deeper alveolar caries is more limited. The scheme of judging human eyes and machines by simple image characteristics, but not the intelligent scheme of machine learning, has certain defects, including 1) that tooth tissues are green and not beneficial to image analysis; 2) the ability to detect demineralization in the tooth still requires more clinical trials to verify that the clinical application of red fluorescence is in the research phase. (Chenyan, journal of International oral medicine 2019, 46 (6): 699-702). Therefore, the accuracy of the detection result is also controversial, and only as an auxiliary diagnostic tool, the doctor needs to combine subjectivity and objectivity to make an accurate judgment (Wangkexin, 2020,28 (11): 744-748).
In the current patent, there is a group developing a fluoroscope (see patent specifications CN205683069U, CN106821529A) which is convenient for ordinary people to use at home, and the device excites dental plaque on the tooth surface by a deep blue LED to generate red fluorescence, and automatically observes whether the tooth has dental plaque and the degree of the dental plaque. At present, a dental plaque fluorescence detector is developed by taking a laser as a light source and combining a camera technology for hospitals. However, this type of device is not useful for caries detection. The Netherlands Philips corporation developed an early caries detection method and apparatus (see patent specification CN110769746A) that uses the transmission of light through the tooth and the reflection of light from the tooth detected by an imaging device to detect caries. This is a measurement of caries using transmission and emission of light rather than detection of excitation light from the tooth as used herein, and in one aspect, does not use artificial intelligence to determine caries. X-ray imaging is another caries detection technique, but it is not suitable for portable home use. Another early caries detection technique was Fiber Optic Transmission Illumination (FOTI), which examines teeth by visible light illumination, but this technique suffers from scattered light from the teeth, resulting in poor contrast. In addition, there is a caries detection using infrared light, which is a detection using infrared light scattering properties of a carious portion. The existing caries detection method is not only expensive or based on the scattering/transmission/reflection phenomenon of the light source (instead of the exciting light mentioned in the patent), but also does not adopt artificial intelligence means, only can be used as auxiliary means, and further judgment is needed manually, therefore, the technical personnel in the field provide a system and a method for detecting caries and the position thereof based on artificial intelligence, so as to solve the problems in the background technology.
