An Artificial Neural Network for Detection of Simulated Dental Caries

TLDR
The study suggests an artificial neural network can be trained to make the correct interpretations of dental caries, and could be a prototype for caries detection but should be improved for classifying caries depth.
Abstract
Objects A neural network was developed to diagnose artificial dental caries using images from a charged-coupled device (CCD)camera and intra-oral digital radiography. The diagnostic performance of this neural network was evaluated against a gold standard.

Detection of vertical root fractures in intact and endodontically treated premolar teeth by designing a probabilistic neural network: an ex vivo study

TL;DR: The designed neural network was able to diagnose and classify teeth with and without VRFs and can be used as a proper model for the diagnosis of VRFs on CBCT images of endodontically treated and intact teeth; in this context,CBCT images are more effective than similar periapical radiographs.

Dental caries diagnosis in digital radiographs using back-propagation neural network

TL;DR: This study suggests that dental caries can be predicted more accurately with back-propagation neural network and there is a need for improving the system for classification of caries depth.

Radiographic detection of approximal caries: a comparison of dental films and digital imaging systems.

TL;DR: The diagnostic accuracy of digital systems is comparable with that of dental films and the ability of dentists to recognise caries correctly is the main factor contributing to variation in radiographic diagnosis and not the imaging modality.

Clinical efficacy of dental radiography in the detection of dental caries and periodontal diseases.

TL;DR: The ability of dental radiographs to correctly detect evidence of dental caries and periodontal disease (sensitivity) and to correctly establish the absence of these diseases (specificity) is reported and requires further investigation.

The use of artificial intelligence to identify people at risk of oral cancer and precancer

TL;DR: A neural network was evaluated to predict the likelihood of an individual having a malignant or potentially malignant oral lesion based on knowledge of their risk habits and may be of value for the identification of individuals with a high risk of oral cancer or precancer for further clinical examination or health education.
