Abstract

Background: Dental Caries are one of the most common dental diseases around the world and diagnosis it is a challenging task. If the caries is caught early, it can be treated.
Objective: This study aim to designing system based on machine learning techniques for diagnosis of proximal caries.
Patients and methods: This paper applied machine learning techniques on X-rays for 200 teeth which collected in the dental clinics of the college of dentistry in university of Thi_Qar to diagnosing the stages of surface caries . In order to remove the noise and corrupted pixels we used the Gaussian blur filter then segmented the image by K means clustering technique to extract the region of interest
Then we used Grey Level Co Concurrent Matrix (GLCM) algorithm for feature extraction. Features extracted by GLCM inputs into Naive Bayes classifier (NBC).
Results: Our proposed approach of detecting and classifying dental caries achieve the results of 96%,97% ,98%,98% for F1,recall ,precision and Accuracy values, respectively.
Conclusions: The experimental results indicate that dental caries could be detected accurately by this diagnostic system. The key benefits of the suggested approach are its ease of use, quick computation, and simplicity of implementation.
