Automated tooth segmentation as an innovative tool to assess 3D-tooth movement and root resorption in rodents

摘要

Volumetric rendering of the upper jaw from one animal. The image shows μCT scans from an animal experiment analyzing the effect of orthodontic tooth movement in mice with a nickel titanium spring (red) installed between the left upper first molar and the incisor to induce anterior movement of the first molar. Orthodontic tooth movement was conducted at 0.5 N for 11 days
