A decision support system based on classification algorithms for the diagnosis of periodontal disease

Saudi Journal of Oral Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 11(3), С. 181 - 192

Опубликована: Сен. 1, 2024

Abstract Introduction: Inflammatory conditions, including gingivitis and periodontitis, affect the supporting structures of teeth. The early detection these diseases is critical for prevention systemic complications. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have introduced novel diagnostic methods that offer potential more accurate personalized diagnostics. Aims: purpose this study was to develop evaluate a decision support system (DSS) based on selected classification algorithms, namely random forest (RF), vector machine (SVM), neural network (ANN), logistic regression periodontal disease diagnosis. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional design adopted, 300 patients were taken, split into training set with 80% test 20%. algorithms used analyze 19 demographic, clinical, radiographic parameters. Chi-square ANOVA tests conducted these, significance level 0.05 used. We calculated accuracy, precision, recall F1-score, which we assess model performance. Results: RF ANN models exhibited very good performance, reaching almost perfect F1 scores, showing strong as diagnostic. Nevertheless, SVM tree equally yielded robust results balanced generalizability across metrics. Results showed little effectiveness Naïve Bayes grading disease. Discussion Conclusion: DSS show promise enhancing diagnostics, particularly models. However, risk overfitting limited performance simpler models, such naive Bayes, underscores need further research, external validation, ensure reliability clinical practice.
