Artificial Intelligence Assisted Thermal Imaging for Gingival Inflammation Assessment: A Novel Approach

This study represents the first application of AI-supported thermal imaging for evaluating gingival inflammation in mouth breathers, marking a significant step forward in periodontal diagnostics. By establishing specific thermal thresholds in this unique population, it highlights the potential of this innovative approach as a non-invasive, real-time, and scalable diagnostic tool. Future research should focus on refining AI algorithms and expanding datasets to enhance clinical applicability, paving the way for advanced diagnostics and personalized care in periodontology.
