Abstract

BACKGROUND: Assessing the time required for tooth extraction is the most important factor to consider before surgeries. The purpose of this study was to create a practical predictive model for assessing the time to extract the mandibular third molar tooth using deep learning. The accuracy of the model was evaluated by comparing the extraction time predicted by deep learning with the actual time required for extraction.
