Predicting dental development in individuals, especially children, is important in evaluating dental maturity and determining the factors that influence the development of teeth and growth of jaws. Dental development can be accelerated in patients with an accelerated skeletal growth rate and can be related to the skeletal growth pattern as a child. The dental age (DA) of an individual is essential to the dentist for planning treatment in relation to maxillofacial growth. A deep-learning-based regression model was developed in this study using panoramic radiograph images to predict DA. The dataset included 529 samples of panoramic radiographs collected from the dental hospital at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal university in Saudi Arabia. Different deep learning methods were applied to implement the model, including Xception, VGG16, DenseNet121, and ResNet50. The results indicated that the Xception model had the best performance, with an error rate of 1.417 for the 6–11 age group. The proposed model can assist the dentist in determining the appropriate treatment for patients based on their DA rather than their chronological age.
