Limitations of panoramic radiographs in predicting mandibular wisdom tooth extraction and the potential of deep learning models to overcome them

Abstract Surgeons routinely interpret preoperative radiographic images for estimating the shape and position of the tooth prior to performing tooth extraction. In this study, we aimed to predict the difficulty of lower wisdom tooth extraction using only panoramic radiographs. Difficulty was evaluate...
