Abstract Background:As the older population grows, so does the prevalence of cognitive impairment, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is vital in identifying cognitive impairment. It is known that degraded oral health correlates with MMSE scores ≤26. Objective:This study aims to explore the potential of using machine learning (ML) technologies […]
