Brief summary

This cross-sectional study aims to perform a population-based assessment of the incidence of decay, dental fillings, root canal fillings, endodontic lesions, implants, implant and dental abutment crowns, pontic crowns, and missing teeth, taking into account the location.

Detailed description

This cross-sectional study aims to perform a population-based assessment of the incidence of decay, dental fillings, root canal fillings, endodontic lesions, implants, implant and dental abutment crowns, pontic crowns, and missing teeth, considering the location. Patients with indications for dental X-ray confirmed by a written referral and with permanent dentition will participate in the study. Then, the X-rays will be analyzed by the dentists and the AI-based software after the data has been anonymized. The results will be compared to determine the AI algorithm's sensitivity, specificity, and precision.

Interventions

RADIATIONTaking a dental X-ray

Dental X-rays taken in patients with indications confirmed by a written referral.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
SensitivityUp to 6 weeksSensitivity (also known as recall or true positive rate) is the proportion of actual positive cases that are correctly predicted as positive. It evaluates the performance of an AI algorithm. Formally it can be calculated with the following equation: Sensitivity = TP / (TP+FN) True positive (TP) - a test result that correctly indicates the presence of a condition or characteristic False Negative (FN) - a test result which wrongly indicates that a particular condition or characteristic is absent
SpecificityUp to 6 weeksSpecificity (also known as true negative rate) - is the proportion of actual negative cases that are correctly predicted as negative. It evaluates the performance of an AI algorithm. Formally it can be calculated by the equation below: Specificity = TN / (TN + FP) True negative (TN) - a test result that correctly indicates the absence of a condition or characteristic False positive (FP) - a test result which wrongly indicates that a particular condition or characteristic is present
Precision of the AI algorithmUp to 6 weeksPrecision is an evaluation metric used to assess the performance of machine learning algorithm for AI. It measures how accurate the algorithm is. We will use the number of true positives (TP) and false positives (FP) to calculate precision using the following formula: Precision = TP / (TP + FP) True positive (TP) - a test result that correctly indicates the presence of a condition or characteristic False positive (FP) - a test result that wrongly indicates that a particular condition or characteristic is present
