Abstract

BACKGROUND: The aging population is increasingly affected by periodontal disease, a condition often overlooked due to its asymptomatic nature. Despite its silent onset, periodontitis is linked to various systemic conditions, contributing to severe complications and a reduced quality of life. With over a billion people globally affected, periodontal diseases present a significant public health challenge. Current diagnostic methods, including clinical exams and radiographs, have limitations, emphasizing the need for more accurate detection methods. This study aims to develop AI-driven models to enhance diagnostic precision and consistency in detecting periodontal disease.
