Abstract

BACKGROUND: Preoperative assessment of the impacted mandibular third molar (LM3) in a panoramic radiograph is important in surgical planning. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a computer-aided visualisation-based deep learning (DL) system using a panoramic radiograph to predict the difficulty level of surgical removal of an impacted LM3.
