Automation of gender determination in human canines using artificial intelligence

Abstract

Background: Gender determination is an important aspect of the identification process. The tooth represents a part of the human body that indicates the nature of sexual dimorphism. Artificial intelligence enables computers to perform to the same standard the same tasks as those carried out by humans. Several methods of classification exist within an artificial intelligence approach to identifying sexual dimorphism in canines. Purpose: This study aimed to quantify the respective accuracy of the Naive Bayes, decision tree, and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) methods in identifying sexual dimorphism in canines. Methods: A sample of results derived from 100 measurements of the diameter of mesiodistal, buccolingual, and diagonal upper and lower canine jaw models of both genders were entered into an application computer program that implements the algorithm (MLP). The analytical process was conducted by the program to obtain a classification model with testing being subsequently carried out in order to obtain 50 new measurement results, 25 each for males and females. A comparative analysis was conducted on the program-generated information. Results: The accuracy rate of the Naive Bayes method was 82%, while that of the decision tree and MLP amounted to 84%. The MLP method had an absolute error value lower than that of its decision tree counterpart. Conclusion: The use of artificial intelligence methods produced a highly accurate identification process relating to the gender determination of canine teeth. The most appropriate method was the MLP with an accuracy rate of 84%.

Aplicación de la inteligencia artificial en Odontología

“…Para la predicción de género de manera automatizada permitiendo la identificación con mínimos errores se desarrolló un ANN (Artificial Neural Networks) utilizando radiografías panorámicas 26 Así mismo, en un estudio realizado por Fidya et al 27 reportaron sobre una IA relativamente nueva basada en la identificación del dimorfismo sexual en caninos. En este estudio, los autores cuantificaron la precisión respectiva del Naive Bayes, decision tree, and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) para identificar dimorfismo en caninos logrando un proceso de identificación altamente preciso.…”
