This study aimed to develop a novel deep learning model for classification of missing teeth on panoramic radiographs in pediatric patients and to assess the accuracy. The study included patients aged 8-16 years who visited the Pusan National University Dental Hospital and underwent panoramic radiography. A total of 806 panoramic radiographs were retrospectively analyzed to determine the presence or absence of missing teeth for each tooth number. Moreover, each panoramic radiograph was divided into four quadrants, each of a smaller size, containing both primary and permanent teeth, generating 3224 data. Quadrants with missing teeth (n = 1457) were set as the experimental group, and quadrants without missing teeth (n = 1767) were set as the control group. The data were split into training and validation sets in a 4:1 ratio, and a 5-fold cross-validation was conducted. A gradient-weighted class activation map was used to visualize the deep learning model. The average values of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score of this deep learning model were 0.635, 0.814, 0.738, 0.730, 0.732 and 0.731, respectively. In the experimental group, the accuracy was the highest for missing canines and premolars, and the lowest for molars. The deep learning model exhibited a moderate to good distinguishing power with a classification performance of 0.730. This deep learning model and the newly defined small sized region of interest proved adequate for classifying the presence of missing teeth.</p>","PeriodicalId":50235,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry","volume":"48 3","pages":"76-85"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140959118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
