Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to develop and evaluate a deep learning model (BiStageNet) for automatic detection of dens evaginatus (DE) premolars on orthodontic intraoral photographs. Additionally, based on the training results, we developed a DE detection platform for orthodontic clinical applications.
