Deep Learning-Based Measurement of Keratinized Gingiva Width Using Smartphone-Acquired Clinical Images
Sponsor: Al-Azhar University
Summary
This study aims to develop and validate an artificial intelligence-based system for automated measurement of keratinized gingiva width using smartphone-acquired intraoral clinical photographs. Standardized intraoral images will be collected and analyzed using a deep learning model, and the results will be compared with clinical measurements performed by calibrated expert examiners, which serve as the reference standard. The performance of the proposed system will be evaluated using accuracy metrics including Dice coefficient, Intersection over Union (IoU), precision, recall, and F1-score. This study seeks to support the integration of AI tools into periodontal diagnosis and clinical decision-making to improve measurement consistency and reduce inter-examiner variability.
