A Multi-center Dental Panoramic Radiography Image Dataset for Impacted Teeth, Periodontitis, and Dental Caries: Benchmarking Segmentation and Classification Tasks

Panoramic radiography imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnostic process of dental diseases. However, current artificial intelligence research datasets for panoramic radiography dental image processing are often limited to single-center and single-task scenarios, making it difficult to generalize their results. To address this, we present a multi-center, multi-task labeled dataset. In this study, our dataset comprises three datasets obtained from different hospitals. The first set has 4940 panoramic radiography images and corresponding labels from the Stemmatological Hospital of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University. The second set includes 716 panoramic radiography images and labels from the People’s Hospital of Yinchuan City, Ningxia. The third dataset contains 880 panoramic radiography images and labels from a hospital in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. This comprehensive dataset encompasses three types of dental diseases: impacted teeth, periodontitis, and dental caries. Specifically, it comprises 2555 images related to impacted teeth, 2735 images related to periodontitis, and 1246 images related to dental caries. In order to evaluate the performance of the dataset, we conducted benchmark tests for segmentation and classification tasks on our dataset. The results show that the presented dataset could be effectively used for benchmarking segmentation and classification tasks critical to the diagnosis of dental diseases.
