# DentBench-VL (extended)

Persona-conditioned dental Vision-Language dataset for intraoral photographs.
2,105 records across 15 canonical dental classes, six structured fields per
record (diagnosis, severity, findings, recommendation, explanation, rationale).

## Sources

| Source | Records |
|---|---|
| dentbench_v1_single_clinic | 1,280 |
| dentbench_v1_single_clinic_legacy | 175 |
| external_dental_research | 650 |

## Splits

| Split | N |
|---|---|
| train | 1,755 |
| valid | 148 |
| test | 202 |

## Files

- `complete_annotations_clean_extended.json` — final merged corpus (2,105 records)
- `manual_annotations.jsonl` — 650 external records with full
  Writer-Editor-Diagnoser provenance (annotation, blind diagnoser audit,
  resolution decision)

## Annotation pipeline

External images annotated through a Writer-Editor-Diagnoser pipeline:
Writer drafts the six-field annotation conditioned on the source label,
Editor enforces per-style length budgets, blind Diagnoser independently
re-diagnoses from the image alone. Disagreements resolved through a
confidence-based rule (308 of 326 disagreements resulted in a Diagnoser
override, replacing source-dataset labels).
