Abstract

Periodontal disease—a major cause of tooth loss—affects nearly half the global adult population. Detecting it early is crucial. Typically, dentists use X-rays (panoramic or periapical) to check for bone loss, but this process is slow and can vary depending on the dentist reading the image.
