| contents | Objectives: Age and gender estimation is crucial for various applications, including forensic investigations and anthropological studies. This research aims to develop a predictive system for age and gender estimation in living individuals, leveraging dental measurements such as Coronal Height (CH), Coronal Pulp Cavity Height (CPCH), and Tooth Coronal Index (TCI). Methods: Machine learning models were employed in our study, including Cat Boost Classifier (Catboost), Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM), Ada Boost Classifier (AdaBoost), Random Forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGB), and Extra Trees Classifier (ETC), to analyze dental data from 862 living individuals (459 males and 403 females). Specifically, periapical radiographs from six teeth per individual were utilized, including premolars and molars from both maxillary and mandibular. A novel ensemble learning technique was developed, which uses multiple models each tailored to distinct dental metrics, to estimate age and gender accurately. Furthermore, an explainable AI model has been created utilizing SHAP, enabling dental experts to make judicious decisions based on comprehensible insight. Results: The RF and XGB models were particularly effective, yielding the highest F1 score for age and gender estimation. Notably, the XGB model showed a slightly better performance in age estimation, achieving an F1 score of 73.26%. A similar trend for the RF model was also observed in gender estimation, achieving a F1 score of 77.53%. Conclusions: This study marks a significant advancement in dental forensic methods, showcasing the potential of machine learning to automate age and gender estimation processes with improved accuracy. |
