Artificial intelligence system for automatic tooth detection and numbering in the mixed dentition in CBCT

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) by automating tooth segmentation in CBCT volumes of paediatric patients with mixed dentition, using nnU-Netv2 algorithm.

Background: Identifying and numbering teeth, the initial step in treatment planning, demands an efficient method.

Conclusion: AI models offer a promising approach in the mixed dentition period and play a valuable role in dentists' planning in terms of time and effort.
