Automatic Detection of Radiographic Alveolar Bone Loss in Bitewing and Periapical Intraoral Radiographs Using Deep Learning Technology: A Preliminary Evaluation.

Periodontal disease is a prevalent inflammatory condition affecting the supporting structures of teeth, with radiographic bone loss (RBL) being a critical diagnostic marker. The accurate and consistent evaluation of RBL is essential for the staging and grading of periodontitis, as outlined by the 2017 AAP/EFP Classification. Advanced tools such as deep learning (DL) technology, including Denti.

An Assessment of Deep Learning's Impact on General Dentists' Ability to Detect Alveolar Bone Loss in 2D Intraoral Radiographs.

Deep learning (DL) technology has shown potential in enhancing diagnostic accuracy in dentomaxillofacial radiology, particularly for detecting carious lesions, apical lesions, and periodontal bone loss. However, its effect on general dentists' ability to detect radiographic bone loss (RBL) in clinical practice remains unclear. This study investigates the impact of the Denti.

A Correlation Analysis between Arch Width and Molar Inclination Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Transverse Measurements: A Cross-Sectional Study.

A new era in 3-dimensional analysis has begun with the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in orthodontics, which promises to provide a more thorough understanding of the craniofacial skeletal architecture. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the transverse basal arches discrepancy and dental compensation by utilizing CBCT width analysis. An observational study was conducted to retrospectively review 88 CBCT scans of patients presented to dental clinics from 2014 to 2020 obtained from the Planmeca Romexis x-ray system at three centers.

The impact of malocclusion on the oral health related quality of life of 11-14-year-old children.

Background: The relationship between malocclusion and the oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children needs to be explored further as existing literature presents conflicting evidence. This study aims to determine the association between malocclusion and OHRQoL of 11-14-year-old children.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 caregiver/child dyads seeking orthodontic consultation at a tertiary care hospital.

Cyclic Fatigue and Torsional Failure of EdgeTaper Platinum Endodontic Files at Simulated Body Temperature.

Introduction: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance and torsional resistance of EdgeTaper Platinum (ETP) with those of ProTaper Gold (PTG) at simulated body temperature.

Methods: ETP and PTG files with #25 tip size were selected. Cyclic fatigue tests were performed in a stainless steel artificial canal until file fracture occurred.

Assessing stress associated with temporomandibular joint disorder through Fonseca's anamnestic index among the Saudi physicians.

The study aims to investigate signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) among physicians in a tertiary health-care center. It has estimated the level of symptomatology, determined the association with demographic data, and identified the related occupational risk factors. A cross-sectional survey was used, and physicians of genders, all age groups, and nationalities from King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were recruited.
