Aim: This study aimed to perform clinical diagnosis and treatment planning of mucous retention cysts with high accuracy and low error using the deep learning-based EfficientNet method. For this purpose, a hybrid approach that distinguishes healthy individuals from individuals with mucous retention cysts using panoramic radiographic images was presented. Material and Methods: Radiographs of patients who applied to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Fırat University between 2020 and 2022 and had panoramic radiography for various reasons were evaluated retrospectively. A total of 161 radiographs, 82 panoramic radiographs with mucous retention cysts and 79 panoramic radiographs without mucous retention cysts, were included in the study. In the classification process, deep feature representations or feature maps of the images were created using eight different deep learning models of EfficientNet from B0 to B7. The efficient features obtained from these networks were given as input to the support vector machine classifier, and healthy individuals and patients with mucous retention cysts were classified. Results: As a result of the model training, it was determined that the EfficientNetB6 model performed the best. When all performance parameters of the model were evaluated together, the accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score values were obtained 0.878, 0.785, 0.916, 0.857, and 0.846, respectively. Conclusion: The proposed hybrid artificial intelligence model showed a successful classification performance in the diagnosis of mucous retention cysts. The study will shed light on other future studies that will serve the same purpose.
