Abstract
In this work, the segmented dental X-ray images obtained by dentists have been classified into ideal/minimally compromised edentulous area (no clinical treatment needed immediately), partially/moderately compromised edentulous area (require bridges or cast partial denture) and substantially compromised edentulous area (require complete denture prosthesis). A total of 116 image dental X-ray dataset is used, of which 70% of the image dataset is used for training the convolutional neural network (CNN) while 30% is used sfor testing and validation. Three pretrained deep neural networks (DNNs; SqueezeNet, ResNet-50 and EfficientNet-b0) have been implemented using Deep Network Designer module of Matlab 2022. Each of these CNNs were trained, tested and optimised for the best possible accuracy and validation of dental images, which require an appropriate clinical treatment. The highest classification accuracy of 98% was obtained for EfficientNet-b0. This novel research enables the implementation of DNN parameters for automated identification and labelling of edentulous area, which would require clinical treatment. Also, the performance metrics, accuracy, recall, precision and F1 score have been calculated for the best DNN using confusion matrix.
