“…Even though this research provided an excellent literature review of dental disorders and applications, they should have covered more DL-related topics. The majority of the review studies [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ] dentistry primarily focused on classic ML methods or generic artificial neural networks (ANNs), when feature extraction for diagnosis is required [ 35 ], and where feature extraction is involved for diagnosis. They could not address emerging DL architectures on dental disease diagnosis, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) [ 36 ], extreme learning machines (ELMs) [ 37 ], or graph convolutional networks (GCNs) [ 38 , 39 ], etc.…”
