X-ray micro-computed tomography (µCT) volumes of carious teeth in vitro

Abstract

This dataset contains the X-ray micro-computed tomography (µCT) volumes of the examined teeth as a 3D reference for all subsequent examinations. The µCT volumes were acquired on the intact, non-embedded teeth using a µCT specimen scanner (SCANCO vivaCT 40, SCANCO Medical AG, Brüttisellen, Switzerland) at the Bone Lab Dresden. All µCT scans were recorded with the following parameters: voltage: 70 kV, exposure time: 0.35 s, current: 0.114 mAs. The voxel size is 10.5 µm x 10.5 µm x 10.5 µm.
