Abstract: A system for identifying dental objects, visualizing a dental image, and method for identifying dental anomalies are described. The system for identifying dental objects comprises a 3-D dental image, a database, a digital processing component, and an interactive graphical user interface is described. The 3-D dental image is generated by a medical imaging device. The database has data fields that include locations for teeth, locations for each section of tooth, standard shapes associated with individual teeth, standard shapes associated with each of the sections of tooth, and bone density data for each section of tooth. The digital processing component is configured to process the 3-D image and is in operative communication with the database. The digital processing component is configured to identify an object by combining a plurality of voxels having a common density and tagging the object. The interactive graphical user interface (GUI) permits the user to interact with the object.
