The scarcity of high-quality Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) datasets with Three-Dimensional (3D) annotations hinders advancements in automated dental implant planning. Existing datasets lack precise 3D localization of tooth loss sites, particularly in complex cases presenting metal artifacts or existing implants. To address this, we curated a CBCT dataset from 158 patients across three institutions. Cases were rigorously screened for image quality (scores 2-4) and annotated using 3D Slicer, with artifact characteristics explicitly delineated. The dataset comprises a total of 158 CBCT volumes featuring 501 missing tooth sites, of which 85 volumes containing 114 specific sites were selected for 3D annotation (4,994 slices annotated). This resource provides 3D annotations of missing teeth to facilitate the training of deep learning models for automated implant planning. Furthermore, we established comprehensive baselines through clinical evaluations and deep learning modeling. These publicly available data aim to foster artificial intelligence (AI)-driven dental rehabilitation research.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
