Abstract

This paper presents a rigorous investigation into the application of state-of-the-art machine learning techniques for the automated detection of dental issues, utilizing the YOLOv3 Algorithm, a cutting-edge one-stage object detection method. The study encompasses the meticulous annotation and utilization of a carefully curated dataset featuring 126 panoramic X-ray images, illustrating a diverse range of dental conditions. Among these conditions, the primary emphasis is placed on the precise detection of six specific dental problems. Employing advanced computer vision methodologies, the model demonstrates exceptional accuracy in the identification and precise localization of these targeted dental issues. The implications of these findings are profound for the field of dental healthcare, as the automated detection of dental problems holds the potential to significantly enhance the diagnostic and treatment planning capabilities of dental professionals. The results presented in this research represent a notable stride in the ongoing evolution of machine learning and underscore its capacity to revolutionize the landscape of dental diagnostics, ultimately contributing to the advancement of oral health management and patient care.
