الوصف: 3D tooth segmentation is an important task for digital orthodontics. Several Deep Learning methods have been proposed for automatic tooth segmentation from 3D dental models or intraoral scans. These methods require annotated 3D intraoral scans. Manually annotating 3D intraoral scans is a laborious task. One approach is to devise self-supervision methods to reduce the manual labeling effort. Compared to other types of point cloud data like scene point cloud or shape point cloud data, 3D tooth point cloud data has a very regular structure and a strong shape prior. We look at how much representative information can be learnt from a single 3D intraoral scan. We evaluate this quantitatively with the help of ten different methods of which six are generic point cloud segmentation methods whereas the other four are tooth segmentation specific methods. Surprisingly, we find that with a single 3D intraoral scan training, the Dice score can be as high as 0.86 whereas the full training set gives Dice score of 0.94. We conclude that the segmentation methods can learn a great deal of information from a single 3D tooth point cloud scan under suitable conditions e.g. data augmentation. We are the first to quantitatively evaluate and demonstrate the representation learning capability of Deep Learning methods from a single 3D intraoral scan. This can enable building self-supervision methods for tooth segmentation under extreme data limitation scenario by leveraging the available data to the fullest possible extent.
