Abstract

BACKGROUND: The assessment of growth stages, typically determined by Cervical Vertebrae Maturation (CVM), plays a crucial role in orthodontics. However, there is a potential deviation from actual growth stages when using CVM. This study aimed to introduce CDSNet, an interpretable deep learning model for assessing growth stages based on cervical vertebrae, dentition, and frontal sinus in lateral cephalograms.
