Can super resolution via deep learning improve classification accuracy in dental radiography?
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesDeep learning-driven super resolution (SR) aims to enhance the quality and resolution of images, offering potential benefits in dental imaging. Although extensive research has focused on deep learning based dental classification tasks, the impact of applying SR techniques on classification remains underexplored. This study seeks to address this gap by evaluating and comparing the performance of deep learning classification models on dental images with and without SR enhancement.
methodsAn open-source dental image dataset was utilized to investigate the impact of SR on image classification performance. SR was applied by 2 models with a scaling ratio of 2 and 4, while classification was performed by 4 deep learning models. Performances were evaluated by well-accepted metrics like structural similarity index (SSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), accuracy, recall, precision, and F1 score. The effect of SR on classification performance is interpreted through 2 different approaches.
resultsTwo SR models yielded average SSIM and PSNR values of 0.904 and 36.71 for increasing resolution with 2 scaling ratios. Average accuracy and F-1 score for the classification trained and tested with 2 SR-generated images were 0.859 and 0.873. In the first of the comparisons carried out with 2 different approaches, it was observed that the accuracy increased in at least half of the cases (8 out of 16) when different models and scaling ratios were considered, while in the second approach, SR showed a significantly higher performance for almost all cases (12 out of 16).
conclusionThis study demonstrated that the classification with SR-generated images significantly improved outcomes. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: For the first time, the classification performance of dental radiographs with improved resolution by SR has been investigated. Significant performance improvement was observed compared to the case without SR.
