AI-Based Prediction of Root Coverage Outcome From Intraoral Photographs

RecruitingN/A

Sponsor: Marmara University

Conditions: Gingival Recessions

Interventions: Coronally advanced flap with subepithelial connective tissue graft, Deep learning based prediction of root coverage outcome

Countries: Turkey (Türkiye)

This study evaluates whether the outcome of root coverage surgery can be predicted from a preoperative intraoral photograph. Adults with Cairo RT1,RT2 or RT3 gingival recessions treated with a coronally advanced flap and a connective tissue graft are followed for six months. Standardised photographs and clinical measurements are obtained before surgery and at each follow-up visit. A deep learning model is developed to predict the surgical outcome from the preoperative photograph and baseline clinical variables, and its performance is compared with the outcome measured clinically at six months. The model does not influence treatment decisions.

* Adult patients aged 18 to 65 years.
* Presence of isolated or multiple gingival recessions classified as Cairo RT1, RT2 or RT3 in the maxilla or mandible.
