Slice extraction for characterization of a tooth. This tooth features a 1–1-1/1 root canal configuration as defined by Briseño et al. [17]. The blue line in the two leftmost panels shows the gray value plot along the longest tooth axis, the orange line shows the smoothed plot. Based on the largest derivation we detect the enamel-dentin border at slice 911 of this dataset. Based on the bottom around slice 2341 we extracted the equidistant slices in-between
