Automated tooth segmentation as an innovative tool to assess 3D-tooth movement and root resorption in rodents
Abstract Background Orthodontic root resorptions are frequently investigated in small animals, and micro-computed tomography (μCT) enables volumetric comparison. Despite, due to overlapping histograms from dentine and bone, accurate quantification of root resorption is challenging. The present study...
