DentoMorph-LDMs: diffusion models based on novel adaptive 8-connected gum tissue and deciduous teeth loss for dental image augmentation by Hanaa Salem Marie, Mostafa Elbaz, Riham sobhy Soliman, Amira Abdelhafeez elkhatib

“…We developed two novel biologically-inspired loss functions integrated within LDMs specifically designed for pediatric dental imaging: Gum-Adaptive Pixel Imputation (GAPI) utilizing adaptive 8-connected pixel neighborhoods that mimic pediatric gum tissue adaptive behavior, and Deciduous Transition-Based Reconstruction (DTBR) incorporating developmental stage awareness based on primary teeth transition patterns observed in children aged 2–12 years. These algorithms guide the diffusion process toward developmentally appropriate reconstructions through specialized loss functions that preserve structural continuity of deciduous dentition and age-specific anatomical features crucial for accurate pediatric diagnosis. …”
