With the presented SSM, the approximate course of dental roots can be predicted based on a surface scan. There was no difference in predicting the tooth axis of existent or missing teeth. In clinical context, the estimation of tooth axes of missing teeth could serve as a reference for implant positioning. However, a higher number of training data must be achieved to obtain increasing accuracy.
