Teeth

812
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Dentistry
  • Radiology
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Accurate age estimation is crucial for legal, social, and forensic purposes.
  • Dental age estimation methods are vital for individuals lacking official documentation.
  • Buccal bone level analysis presents a novel approach for age determination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the optimal machine learning algorithm for dental age estimation.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of buccal bone levels in predicting chronological age.
  • To compare conventional and deep learning algorithms for this application.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a database of 150 CBCT images (ages 20-69).
  • Analyzed Left and Right Buccal Alveolar Bone Levels as key predictors.
  • Employed machine learning software (Weka) for analysis, including Random Forest and Support Vector Machines.

Main Results:

  • Buccal alveolar bone levels, particularly the right side, significantly correlate with age.
  • The Random Forest classifier achieved the highest accuracy (correlation coefficient 0.803, MAE 6.022).
  • Incorporating sinus-related features can enhance age estimation accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • Machine learning, specifically Random Forest, is a promising tool for dental age estimation.
  • Buccal bone levels are reliable indicators for age determination in adults.
  • Further research incorporating diverse features can refine age estimation models.
