Hello,  
From the skull, I want to reveal the lower jaw together with the teeth. I want to see 3D. I want to reveal it in Stl format and make a model from a 3D printer.  
I saw the videos on YouTube. I do the tissue together with the bones every time. I couldn’t quite uncover the bone.  
How can I do that?

Thanks in advance

Segmenting bone and teeth in CT is usually quite easy, using Thresholding effect.

Separating lower and upper jaw may not be trivial if the image is acquired with teeth in contact. “Grow from seeds” effect can be used for this separation, but might require additional seeds at the tip of the teeth or some manual touchup of the end result.

I did a Google search, to decipher grow from seed tutorials. But I couldn’t find it, do you have it?

I have this image. Noise around teeth. How to take clean lower jaw?

We’re you able to figure out how to segment multiple regions using Grow from seeds? To help others with similar needs in the future, can you share what you learned?
