A study was presented at the IADR conference on June 24th 2023 on using a deep learning algorithm to detect occlusal caries from clinical photographs. The study aims to determine the accuracy of the algorithm and develop software for caries detection. The study included consenting adults with permanent dentition and collected 300 photos of the occlusal surfaces. The algorithm achieved a high precision and recall rate in detecting caries. The study suggests that the algorithm could be useful in teledentistry and improve access to care.
