Besides, oral bone loss is an important factor influencing tooth retention and denture repair success, the etiology, occurrence and development rules of the oral bone loss are important, and the internal connection with systemic bone loss such as osteoporosis is important, and the oral bone loss is mainly researched through measurement of bone density of jawbones. Therefore, oral bone density measurement has important clinical value.
In the prior art, oral clinicians usually observe dental films of patients through naked eyes and judge the bone density of jawbone by means of the sparsity degree of spatial arrangement of trabeculae in a reconstructed image. For example, in clinical diagnosis and treatment in oral medicine, medical staff presumes the level of bone density by observing the brightness and the density of trabecular bone in the jaw bone part from a panoramic picture taken before the operation of a patient. However, inexperienced doctors are prone to errors in judgment. Moreover, because the panoramic picture is a two-dimensional image, the brightness of the jaw part is also overlapped with the influence of other tissues in the oral cavity, so the brightness of the jaw cannot accurately reflect the bone density, and the problems of larger error and influence on the success rate of the operation are easily caused because an accurate bone density value is not used as an accurate reference.
