Abstract The tooth preparation margin line has a significant impact on the marginal fitness for dental restoration. Among previous methods, extraction of mainly relies manual interaction, which is complicated and inefficient. Therefore, we propose method to extract with convolutional neural network based sparse octree (S‐Octree) structure. First, preparations are rotated augment dataset. Second, models treated as point cloud labels through spatial partition S‐Octree. Then, feature line,...
