Abstract

Dental caries remains the most prevalent chronic disease in both children and adults. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive optical imaging modality utilized to image oral samples to diagnose carious lesions, but detecting early stage dental caries with high-level accuracy remains challenging. Deep learning models have been employed to classify OCT images for various healthcare applications. In this paper, human tooth specimens were imaged ex vivo using OCT imaging systems, and a three-class grading system based on deep learning model for detection and classification of carious lesions was developed. This study is a step forward in the development of automated deep learning/OCT imaging system for early dental caries diagnosis.
