Abstract

Abstract Objectives In order to assist junior doctors in better diagnosing apical periodontitis (AP), an artificial intelligence AP grading system was developed based on deep learning (DL) and its reliability and accuracy were evaluated. Methods One hundred and twenty cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were selected to construct a classification dataset with four categories, which were divided by CBCT periapical index (CBCTPAI), including normal periapical tissue, CBCTPAI 1-2, CBCTPAI 3-5, and young permanent teeth. Three classic algorithms (ResNet50/101/152) as well as one self-invented algorithm (PAINet) were compared with each other. PAINet were also compared with two recent Transformer-based models and three attention models. Their performance was evaluated by accuracy, precision, recall, balanced F score (F1-score), and the area under the macro-average receiver operating curve (AUC). Reliability was evaluated by Cohen’s kappa to compare the consistency of model predicted labels with expert opinions. Results PAINet performed best among the four algorithms. The accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC on the test set were 0.9333, 0.9415, 0.9333, 0.9336, and 0.9972, respectively. Cohen’s kappa was 0.911, which represented almost perfect consistency. Conclusions PAINet can accurately distinguish between normal periapical tissues, CBCTPAI 1-2, CBCTPAI 3-5, and young permanent teeth. Its results were highly consistent with expert opinions. It can help junior doctors diagnose and score AP, reducing the burden. It can also be promoted in areas where experts are lacking to provide professional diagnostic opinions.
