Abstract
This study proposes an AI-based system for detecting root fractures in periapical radiographs, aiming to automate dental diagnosis. Using 400 images (200 fractured, 200 unfractured), five pretrained models (VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, DenseNet121, DenseNet169) were employed with a voting mechanism. VGG16 showed the best performance with low losses and high specificity, sensitivity, and PPV. DenseNet121 and DenseNet169 effectively addressed overfitting, achieving balanced metrics and impressive PPVs. The AI-based system demonstrated high precision and sensitivity for detecting root fractures.
