Dental and Oral diseases are very common diseases and half of the world population suffers from it. Due to poverty or unhygienic practices, these diseases are common, and it is estimated that 5% of total medical expenditure in the world is on oral diseases. In this paper, we have focused on detecting cavities. Recent developments Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence have helped a lot in medical science. Due to these algorithms, diagnosis and treatment of diseases can be done efficiently. To detect dental cavities different imaging modalities are used by doctors, however, in this paper we have used visual images of teeth’s and applied deep convolution neural network(CNN) to classify the teeth into caries or non-caries. We have used the images from the Kaggle dataset, and after tuning our model we were able to achieve 71.43% accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
