Abstract

Teeth are an important organ that has the function of chewing, talking, and aesthetics. Each person won’t be able to move normally if the dental injured. Pulpitis dental disease, namely inflammation in dental pulp that cause pain are divided into two types, reversible pulpitis and irreversible pulpitis. Available facilities in Indonesia to receive treatment for dental problems is still limited, especially in rural areas. Pulpitis can be detected with the help of periapical radiographs, the results of X-ray of the tooth which has the cheap cost, so it can be affordable for the lower middle class society. However, these results have low contrast levels that cause disease detection becomes difficult. Adaptive Region Growing Approach is used in this study to improve the image quality, wherein the method is more focused on improving the quality of the region that are created because of the seed in the image. The study produced periapical radiograph images that have better quality, that are expected to help dentists in detecting pulpitis, so it may indirectly increase the level of social welfare. These results were obtained through comparison of CII (Contrast Improvement Index) and SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) between this method and the existing method.
