Abstract:
3D Morphable models of the human body capture variations among subjects and
are useful in reconstruction and editing applications. Current dental models
use an explicit mesh scene representation and model only the teeth, ignoring
the gum. In this work, we present the first parametric 3D morphable dental
model for both teeth and gum. Our model uses an implicit scene representation
and is learned from rigidly aligned scans. It is based on a component-wise
representation for each tooth and the gum, together with a learnable latent
code for each of such components. It also learns a template shape thus enabling
several applications such as segmentation, interpolation, and tooth
replacement. Our reconstruction quality is on par with the most advanced global
implicit representations while enabling novel applications. Project page:
