Varying views of maxillary and mandibular aspects of teeth: A dataset

Abstract

Real teeth or dental image datasets are a valuable resource that is transforming the field of dentistry by enabling automation, improving diagnostics and accelerating research and development.This article presents a comprehensive dataset containing 9,562 images of healthy teeth (noncarious) from children aged 1 to 14 years. The images capture different views of the teeth, including maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) arches, front, right, left, and occlusal (biting surface) views. These images are stored under eight subcategories in the Mendeley repository, a platform for research data. The potential application of this dataset involves using machine learning to analyze the dental condition. This could provide a faster analysis and facilitate remote assessment of dental conditions in underserved areas. Overall, this dataset seems like a promising tool for advancing dental care through the power of machine learning.
