TI  - Detecting Pulp Stones with Automatic Deep Learning in Bitewing Radiographs: A Pilot Study of Artiőcial Intelligence
AB  - Purpose: This study aims to examine the diagnostic performance of detecting pulp stones with a deep learning model on bite-wing radiographs. Materials and Methods: 2203 radiographs were scanned retrospectively. 1745 pulp stones were marked on 1269 bite-wing radiographs with the CranioCatch labeling program (CranioCatch, Eskişehir, Turkey) in patients over 16 years old after the consensus of two experts of Maxillofacial Radiologists. This dataset was divided into 3 groups as training (n = 1017 (1396 labels), validation (n = 126 (174 labels)), and test (n = 126) (175 labels) sets, respectively. The conődence score of all tags was 84.04%; the trust of presence tags score of 85.82% and the conődence score of no labels were found to be 82.25%. The deep learning model was developed using Mask R-CNN architecture. A confusion matrix was used to evaluate the success of the model. Results: The results of precision, sensitivity, and F1 obtained using the Mask R-CNN architecture in the test dataset were found to be 0.9115, 0,8879, and 0.8995, respectively. Conclusions: Deep learning algorithms can detect pulp stones. With this, clinicians can use software systems based on artiőcial intelligence as a diagnostic support system. Mask R-CNN architecture can be used for pulp stone detection with approximately 90% sensitivity. The larger data sets increase the accuracy of deep learning systems. More studies are needed to increase the success rates of deep learning models.
