Activity Overview
ToothFairy: Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Segmentation Challenge
Challenge UserThis is the first edition of the ToothFairy challenge organized by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia with the collaboration of Raudboud University. This challenge aims at pushing the development of deep learning frameworks to segment the Inferior Alveolar Canal (IAC) by incrementally extending the amount of publicly available 3D-annotated Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans. CBCT modality is becoming increasingly important for treatment planning and diagnosis in implant dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. The three-dimensional information acquired with CBCT can be crucial to plan a vast number of surgical interventions with the aim of preserving noble anatomical structures such as the Inferior Alveolar Canal (IAC), which contains the homonymous nerve (Inferior Alveolar Nerve, IAN). Deep learning models can support medical personnel in surgical planning procedures by providing a voxel-level segmentation of the IAN automatically extracted from CBCT scans.
ToothFairy2: Multi-Structure Segmentation in CBCT Volumes
Challenge UserThis is the second edition of the ToothFairy challenge organized by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia with the collaboration of Radboud University Medical Center. The challenge is hosted by grand-challenge and is part of MICCAI2024.
ToothFairy3: Multi-Class Segmentation in CBCT Volumes
Challenge UserToothFairy3, part of the ODIN2025 challenge cluster at MICCAI2025, advances CBCT segmentation with an expanded 77-class dataset and a new emphasis on computational efficiency. It introduces two tasks: a runtime-aware multi-structure segmentation and a novel interactive track for Inferior Alveolar Canal (IAC) segmentation using minimal user input. The challenge supports the development of both automated and prompt-based interactive AI tools to enhance clinical workflows in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.
