Abstract:
With the digitization of radiographs, vast amounts of data have become accessible, enabling the curation and development of extensive datasets. Among radiographic modalities, Orthopantomograms (OPGs) are widely utilized in clinical practice. The integration of automated diagnostic processes into routine clinical practice holds great potential as an adjunct for dentists.Various OPG datasets exist, however their limitations affect the robustness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models trained on them. This paper introduces an OPG dataset specifically designed for training AI algorithms in teeth segmentation and numbering tasks. A key feature of this dataset is its dual annotation, which allows for individual tooth segmentation by class, as well as numbering according to the Fédération Dentaire Internationale system.This dual-annotated dataset enhances the existing pool of OPG datasets and can be leveraged for further training of pre-trained algorithms or the development of new ones. Moreover, it offers researchers to carry out annotations tailored to their respective research objectives, thereby facilitating the development of AI models capable of addressing diverse diagnostic tasks.

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
