Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used as an automatically diagnosis method for dental disease due to its accuracy and efficiency. This research proposed a novel convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning (DL) ensemble model for tooth position detection, tooth outline segmentation, tooth tissue segmentation, periodontal bone loss and periodontitis stage prediction using dental panoramic radiographs.
