Abstract

Dental images are processed according to a first machine learning model to determine teeth labels. The teeth labels and image are processed using a second machine learning model to label anatomy. The anatomy labels, teeth labels, and image are processed using a third machine learning model to obtain feature measurements, such as pocket depth and clinical attachment level. The feature measurements, labels, and image may be input to a fourth machine learning model to obtain a diagnosis for a periodontal condition. Machine learning models may further be used to reorient, decontaminate, and restore the image prior to processing. A machine learning model may be trained with images and randomly generated masks in order to perform inpainting of dental images with missing information.
