Impacted third molar extraction with severity report based on measured parameters for dental radiographs

摘要

As the technology become advanced, every field initiate to utilize the advantage of it. Dental field is also one of them. dental x-ray images are very cheap and popular way for dentist diagnosis. now a days so many dental software are available but, having higher coast of purchase. So in this paper we develop a method with coast effective way of finding severity of impacted third molar based on MATLAB program. our working region is the impacted third molar, its segmentation from dental x-ray image, with the help of image processing techniques like image enhancement, morphological filter, morphological operation, labeling, region based extraction and then after different parameters measurement and it's result will decide severity of the impacted third molar. severity report may assist us to know about which case is more critical and need more attention.
