This paper presents a Bayesian network approach for facial bio‑ type classifcation to classify patients’ biotypes into Dolichofacial (long and narrow face), Brachyfacial (short and wide face), and an intermediate kind called Mesofacial, we develop a novel learning technique for tree augmented Naive Bayes (TAN) for this purpose.enBayesian networksTree augmented Naive BayesEvolution StrategyFacial biotypesOrthodontic treatment planningFacial biotype classification for orthodontic treatment planning using an alternative learning algorithm for tree augmented Naive BayesArtículoAtribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)10.1186/s12911-022-02062-7
