A recent trend in health-related machine learning proposes the use of Graph Neural Networks (GNN’s) to model biomedical data. This is justified due complexity healthcare data and modelling power graph abstractions. Thus, GNN’s emerge as natural choice learn from increasing amounts While formulating problem, however, there are usually multiple design choices decisions that can affect final perfo...

This paper presents clinical protocols for the emergency, early and post treatment complications of the avulsed tooth.
