Dataset Overview

 

TeethAlign3D is a 3D dental dataset for orthodontic treatment planning, containing 3D dental models of multiple cases and the tooth alignment target matrices. This dataset is mainly used for tooth alignment optimization and visual analysis in orthodontic treatment.

Data Content Description

 

1. Dental Crown Model (crown/)





Format: STL file format







Content: Triangular mesh model of the dental crown



 

2. Complete Tooth Model (tooth/)





Format: STL file format







Content: Complete closed triangular mesh model of the tooth



 

3. Target Matrix File (target_matrix.txt)





Format: Text file







Content: Target transformation matrix for each tooth after tooth arrangement







Format Description:





Tooth Number R00 R01 R02 0 R10 R11 R12 0 R20 R21 R22 0 Tx  Ty  Tz  1


  Where:



      - Tooth Number: Corresponding to the number of the STL file (1 - 32)


      - M11 - M44: 16 elements of the 4×4 homogeneous transformation matrix





Treatment of Missing Teeth: For missing teeth, the row with the tooth number will not be included in target_matrix.txt.



 

Tooth Numbering System

 

Maxillary Teeth (up/) - Numbered from left to right from the labial view

- 1 - 8: Left - side teeth (from the left third molar to the left central incisor)

- 9 - 16: Right - side teeth (from the right central incisor to the right third molar)

 

Mandibular Teeth (down/) - Numbered from right to left from the labial view

- 17 - 24: Right - side teeth (from the right third molar to the right central incisor)

- 25 - 32: Left - side teeth (from the left central incisor to the left third molar)

 

Dataset Scale

 

- Number of Cases: 837 cases (data_001 to data_837)

- Each Case Includes:

    - Dental Crown STL files (up to 16 in the maxilla: 1 - 16, up to 16 in the mandible: 17 - 32)

    - Closed Tooth STL files (up to 16 in the maxilla: 1 - 16, up to 16 in the mandible: 17 - 32)

    - 1 target matrix file (contains transformation matrices for each tooth)

    Note:Our dataset supports and contains missing teeth. Their STL files and matrix rows in the target matrix are empty.

 

 

Application Scenarios

 

1. Orthodontic Treatment Planning: Optimize tooth alignment based on the target matrix

2. 3D Visualization: 3D display and analysis of tooth models

3. Biomechanical Analysis: Stress analysis of complete tooth models

4. Aesthetic Evaluation: Morphological aesthetic analysis of dental crown models

5. Machine Learning Training: Used for training AI models such as tooth segmentation and registration

 

Technical Specifications

 

- File Format: STL (Stereolithography)

- Mesh Type: Triangular mesh

- Coordinate System: Right - hand coordinate system

- Unit: Millimeter (mm)

- Accuracy: High - precision medical - grade scanned data

 

Precautions for Use

 

1. Data Integrity: Ensure that the crown, tooth, and target_matrix.txt files for each case are complete.

2. File Association: The STL file number corresponds one - to - one with the tooth number in target_matrix.txt.

3. Coordinate System: All models use a unified coordinate system to facilitate the application of transformation matrices.

4. Missing Teeth Situation: There may be missing teeth in the case, the corresponding STL file may not exist, and the transformation matrix of the tooth will not be included in target_matrix.txt.

5. Data Verification: It is recommended to check the integrity of the STL file for each case before use to ensure the existence of the required tooth models.
