Researchers have developed an unsupervised deep learning framework using a fine-tuned Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Network (CycleGAN) to reduce metal artifacts in dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. This method addresses the limitations of supervised approaches by utilizing an unpaired dataset of approximately 4,000 images, achieving significant improvements in image quality metrics such as BRISQUE, FID, and SSIM. The framework demonstrates real-time inference speeds and has been validated by experts, though it is recommended as a clinical decision-support tool for high-fidelity dental implant imaging. AI
