Accuracy Evaluation of an Estimation System for Dental Treatment Sites by Using Image Recognition.

In dentistry, misidentification of the treatment site may occur an adverse event with irreversible consequences. Among these, the left-right tooth error is the second most common site misidentification. In this study, we developed a treatment site estimation system using image recognition, and the accuracy rate of the left and right teeth was more than 85%. The results suggest that this system can be used to prevent the misidentification of the left and right teeth.
