Built on peer-reviewed science
Every component in the DentalMind pipeline traces back to a published dataset, model, or benchmark.
DENTEX: Dental Enumeration and Diagnosis on Panoramic X-rays
MICCAI Challenge · 2023
Quadrant + tooth enumeration + disease annotations on panoramic X-rays — the basis of our OPG detection head.
HUNT4 Oral Health Study
Population cohort · 2017–2019
Large-scale bitewing radiograph cohort used to validate caries and calculus detection at population scale.
DentalSegmentator: open-source segmentation of CBCT images
Journal of Dentistry · 2024
Open-source CBCT segmentation model and weights — the starting point for our 3D pipeline.
MMKD-CLIP: Multimodal Knowledge Distillation for Medical CLIP
arXiv 2506.22567 · 2025
Zero-shot modality classification backbone — powers our automatic modality router.
DentVFM: A Dental Vision Foundation Model
Preprint · 2024
Shared ViT-L/14 encoder pretrained on 1.6M dental images across modalities — our shared 2D backbone.
nnU-Net: a self-configuring method for biomedical image segmentation
Nature Methods · 2021
The self-configuring 3D segmentation framework underlying our CBCT detection head (nnU-Net v2).
ToothFairy3: 43-structure CBCT segmentation challenge
MICCAI Challenge · 2025
Anatomical structure segmentation benchmark guiding our CBCT structure taxonomy.
