The present invention relates to a method of metal artefact reduction in x-ray dental volume tomography, the method comprising: a step (S1) of obtaining two-dimensional x-ray images (1) or a sinogram (2) of at least part (v) of a patient jaw (3a), acquired through relatively rotating an x-ray source (4) and a detector (5) around the patient jaw (3a)； the method being characterized by further comprising: a step (S2) of detecting metal objects (6) in the two-dimensional x-ray images (1) or the sinogram (2) by using at least a trained artificial intelligence algorithm to generate 2D masks (7) which represent the metal objects (6) in the two-dimensional x-ray images (1) or 3D masks which represent the metal objects (6) in the sinogram (2), respectively； and a step (S4；S5) of reconstructing a three dimensional tomographic image (8) respectively based on two-dimensional x-ray images (1) or the sinogram (2) and the 2D masks (7) or the 3D masks as generated.
