Periapical dental X-ray image classification using deep neural networks.

ABSTRACT: This paper studies the problem of detection of dental diseases. Dental problems affect the vast majority of the world's population. Caries, RCT (Root Canal Treatment), Abscess, Bone Loss, and missing teeth are some of the most common dental conditions that affect people of all ages all over the world. Delayed or incorrect diagnosis may result in mistreatment, affecting not only an individual's oral health but also his or her overall health, thereby making it an important research area in medicine and engineering. We propose a pipelined Deep Neural Network (DNN) approach to detect healthy and non-healthy periapical dental X-ray images. Even a minor enhancement or improvement in existing techniques can go a long way in providing significant health benefits in the medical field. This paper ha
