Analysis of Dental Imageries Towards Improved Diagnosis

This book provides an insight on different types of hardware and software-based caries detection methods and their limitations from treatment perspective. The different chapters are motivated to address some of the important gaps in the prevailing approaches and suggest suitable solution to them. Overall, it helps the reader to understand the caries detection methods to identify interproximal and occlusal caries. This also assists the practitioners. The book identifies multiple research issues on dental caries detection that open the practitioners’ horizons to an array of domains from which they can conclude practical insights about their area of interest.
