Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Panoramic radiographs are widely used for age estimation in clinical and forensic domains. Conventionally, age estimation uses humans assessing tooth development and deducing the expected age from that. Deep learning may improve or substitute this traditional approach and allow age estimation at scale in routine settings. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the performance of deep learning for age estimation on panoramic radiographs.
