OBJECTIVE: To develop an original-mirror alignment associated deep learning algorithm for intelligent registration of three-dimensional maxillofacial point cloud data, by utilizing a dynamic graph-based registration network model (maxillofacial dynamic graph registration network, MDGR-Net), and to provide a valuable reference for digital design and analysis in clinical dental applications. METHODS: Four hundred clinical patients without significant deformities were recruited from Peking University School of Stomatology from October 2018 to October 2022. Through data augmentation, a total of 2 000 three-dimensional maxillofacial datasets were generated for training and testing the MDGR-Net algorithm. These were divided into a training set (1 400 cases), a validation set (200 cases), and an internal test set (200 cases). The MDGR-Net model constructed feature vectors for key points in both original and mirror point clouds (X, Y), established correspondences between key points in the X and Y point clouds based on these feature vectors, and calculated rotation and translation matrices using singular value decomposition (SVD). Utilizing the MDGR-Net model, intelligent registration of the original and mirror point clouds were achieved, resulting in a combined point cloud. The principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm was applied to this combined point cloud to obtain the symmetry reference plane associated with the MDGR-Net methodology. Model evaluation for the translation and rotation matrices on the test set was performed using the coefficient of determination (R²). Angle error evaluations for the three-dimensional maxillofacial symmetry reference planes were constructed using the MDGR-Net-associated method and the "ground truth" iterative closest point (ICP)-associated method were conducted on 200 cases in the internal test set and 40 cases in an external test set. RESULTS: Based on testing with the three-dimensional maxillofacial data from the 200-case internal test set, the MDGR-Net model achieved an R² value of 0.91 for the rotation matrix and 0.98 for the translation matrix. The average angle error on the internal and external test sets were 0.84°±0.55° and 0.58°±0.43°, respectively. The construction of the three-dimensional maxillofacial symmetry reference plane for 40 clinical cases took only 3 seconds, with the model performing optimally in the patients with skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion, high angle cases, and Angle Class Ⅲ orthodontic patients. CONCLUSION This study proposed the MDGR-Net association method based on intelligent point cloud registration as a novel solution for constructing three-dimensional maxillofacial symmetry reference planes in clinical dental applications, which can significantly enhance diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency and outcomes, while reduce expert dependence.

As an important element of medical and health sector innovation, the translation of scientific and technological achievements plays a key role in promoting their clinical application and meeting the medical needs of the people. The authors sorted out the problems in such translation at these affiliated hospitals in terms of " people", " finance", " material", and " system". Starting from 2017, the Tenth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University has explored such practices as establishing hospital-led clinical medical science and technology innovation parks and technology service limited companies. These practices aimed to address the issues of insufficient hospital scientific and technological innovation capabilities and the gap between the hospital′s operation mechanism to translate its scientific and technological achievements and the enterprises and the market. The clinical medical science and technology innovation park integrating administration, industry, education, research, medicine and application, has taken multiple measures to attract excellent research talents and projects from within and beyond the hospital, promote the implementation of innovative scientific research projects. The hospital also established a health industry mode with engagement of social capital from large enterprises. The Technology Services Co., Ltd. was based on the incubation and translation of hospital achievements, combining market and clinical needs, promoting multi-party cooperation between hospitals and external enterprises, improving the chain operation mechanism of hospital scientific and technological achievements translation work, and alleviating the problem of insufficient research pilot funds and productibility funds by means of hospital-led fundraising. The number of patent authorizations of hospitals had increased from 23 cases in 2018 to 105 in 2022, and the amount of patent conversion had increased from 2 million yuan in 2020 to 11 million yuan in 2022. It is recommended that affiliated hospitals of universities further improve the organizational structure of achievement translation, strengthen their professional talent teams, improve their operation mechanism of achievement translation, build a platform for medical school-enterprise cooperation, and improve the evaluation mechanism of translation assessment, in order to promote a virtuous cycle of hospital′s scientific and technological achievement translation work.

Objective:To establish an intelligent registration algorithm under the framework of original-mirror alignment algorithm to construct three-dimensional (3D) facial midsagittal plane automatically. Dynamic Graph Registration Network (DGRNet) was established to realize the intelligent registration, in order to provide a reference for clinical digital design and analysis.Methods:Two hundred clinical patients without significant facial deformities were collected from October 2020 to October 2022 at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. The DGRNet consists of constructing the feature vectors of key points in point original and mirror point clouds (X, Y), obtaining the correspondence of key points, and calculating the rotation and translation by singular value decomposition. Original and mirror point clouds were registrated and united. The principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm was used to obtain the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane. The model was evaluated based on the coefficient of determination (R 2) index for the translation and rotation matrix of test set. The angle error was evaluated on the 3D facial midsagittal plane constructed by the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and the iterative closet point (ICP) alignment midsagittal plane for 50 cases of clinical facial data. Results:The average angle error of the DGRNet alignment midsagittal plane and ICP alignment midsagittal plane was 1.05°±0.56°, and the minimum angle error was only 0.13°. The successful detection rate was 78% (39/50) within 1.50° and 90% (45/50) within 2.00°.Conclusions:This study proposes a new solution for the construction of 3D facial midsagittal plane based on the DGRNet alignment method with intelligent registration, which can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of treatment to some extent.
