Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Dental health is integral to overall well-being, with early detection of issues critical for prevention. This research work focuses on utilizing artificial intelligence and deep learning-based object detection techniques for automated detection of common dental issues in orthopantomography x-ray images, including broken roots, periodontally compromised teeth, and the Kennedy classification of partially edentulous arches.
