Machine Learning Model for Early Childhood Caries Prediction Shows Promising Results in Bangladesh

Posted: January 8, 2025
This study developed a machine learning model for early childhood caries prediction in Bangladesh by analyzing health behaviors in mother-child pairs. Key features like plaque score, age of child, and tooth-related behaviors were identified as crucial predictors. The model achieved promising accuracy and sensitivity, with dental plaque being the strongest predictor of ECC. The integration of 10 key features in the model shows potential for effective ECC prediction in children under five years, highlighting the importance of early intervention and preventive strategies in pediatric dentistry.
