Objective To develop an automated system that can accurately determine the relationship between the mandibular third molar and the mandibular nerve canal from panoramic images.Methods A dataset consisting of 600 panoramic images of the oral cavi-ty was selected,and the positions of the mandibular third molar and the mandibular nerve canal were accurately labeled.We compared the research designed TI-YOLOv5 with PANet,Faster R-CNN,Mask R-CNN,ResNeSt-101,and the original YOLOv5 in image seg-mentation tasks,with evaluation metrics of AP and AP50.Results TI-YOLOv5 achieved AP(average precision)54.0%and AP5094.9%,an increase of 4.9 and 6.7 percentage points respectively compared to the original YOLOv5(AP 49.1%,AP50 88.2%),and surpassed other SOTA methods such as Mask R-CNN(AP 45.1%,AP50 84.2%).Conclusion TI-YOLOv5 is significantly superior to mainstream networks in automatic positioning and relationship classification of mandibular wisdom teeth and neural tubes,with high de-tection accuracy and discrimination accuracy,and can provide reliable technical support for preoperative risk assessment of mandibular wisdom tooth extraction.
