Prototype-based networks provide inherently interpretable classification by linking predictions to learned exemplars, but their use in 3D point clouds and clinical surface-pair reasoning remains limited. We introduce ProtoPointNet, a prototype-based model for dental occlusion classification from registered upper--lower intraoral arch pairs.
arXiv:2606. 05998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Oral 3D modelling is one of the most essential stages in dentistry, and many different approaches, such as impression taking and intraoral scanning, are commonly used for this phase, each with notable limitations.

The paper introduces a dual‑stage deep learning system for detecting dental caries in panoramic radiographs. It first localizes teeth using Faster R‑CNN, then applies U‑Net for pixel‑wise caries segmentation, converting polygon annotations into high‑resolution binary masks. Trained on 3,000 images with both expert and algorithmic labels, the model achieves an IoU of 0.9013, Dice of 0.9482, Recall of 0.9433, and Precision of 0.9774, outperforming existing methods and reducing false positives.

TokenMatch is a transformer-based model that estimates 3D shape correspondences by adaptively tokenising meshes into curvature-guided patches. Trained only on the BeCoS partial-to-partial dataset, it generalises to full-shape matching without retraining, using self‑ and cross‑attention to learn patch‑ and point‑level relations. Evaluated on CP2P, PSMAL, BeCoS, FAUST, SCAPE, and SHREC'19, TokenMatch consistently outperforms existing methods in mean geodesic error and intersection‑over‑union while achieving sub‑second inference speeds.

Driven by the availability of large-scale datasets, Human Pose Estimation (HPE) plays a critical role in numerous downstream tasks. However, mainstream benchmarks exhibit severe representation bias, predominantly featuring able-bodied individuals.
