Direction estimation on 3D-tomography images of jawbones

<p>The present work expose a technique of estimation of optimal direction for placing dental implant. A volumetric computed tomography (CT) scan is used as a help of the following searches. The work offers criteria of the optimal implant placement direction and methods of evaluation on direction’s significance. The technique utilizes structure tensor to find a normal to the jawbone surface. Direction of that normal is then used as initial direction for search of optimal direction.</p><p>The technique described in the present work aimed to support doctor’s decisions during dental implantation treatment.</p>
