The use of artificial intelligence tools in cancer detection compared to the traditional diagnostic imaging methods: An overview of the systematic reviews.

Background And Purpose: In comparison to conventional medical imaging diagnostic modalities, the aim of this overview article is to analyze the accuracy of the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in the identification and diagnosis of malignant tumors in adult patients.

Data Sources: The acronym PIRDs was used and a comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, Embase, Scielo, EBSCOhost, and grey literature through Proquest, Google Scholar, and JSTOR for systematic reviews of AI as a diagnostic model and/or detection tool for any cancer type in adult patients, compared to the traditional diagnostic radiographic imaging model. There were no limits on publishing status, publication time, or language.

The feasibility of telehealth in the monitoring of head and neck cancer patients: a systematic review on remote technology, user adherence, user satisfaction, and quality of life.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to analyze the use of telehealth in monitoring patients with head and neck cancer regarding the application used, user adherence to technology, user satisfaction, and user quality of life.

Materials And Methods: A search strategy was developed using the PICO acronym and the terms "Head and Neck Cancer," "Telehealth," "Mobile Application," and "Supportive Care." A broad literature search was performed on PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, and Embase databases and on grey literature through Open Grey, Google Scholar, and Jstor, for studies comparing the monitoring of head and neck cancer patients with telehealth apps to the monitoring performed in a traditional way at health units.

Fractal dimension analysis on CBCT scans for detecting low bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the fractal dimension (FD) measured at 2 bone sites (second cervical vertebra and mandible) on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The research question was whether FD could serve as an accessory tool to refer postmenopausal women for densitometric analysis. Therefore, the reliability and accuracy of FD were evaluated.

The role of teledentistry in oral cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic: an integrative literature review.

Objectives: This integrative review aimed to assess the benefits of the use of teledentistry for patients undergoing treatment of oral and head and neck cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials And Methods: We searched in PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, Embase, Open Grey, Google Scholar, and Jstor databases for studies referring to the management, control, and assistance, through teledentistry, to patients with oral and head and neck cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results: We found 356 references in the databases, 209 after duplicates removal, 23 met criteria for full-text reading, and 11 studies were included for qualitative synthesis, in four categories: virtual visits, use of remote technology, patient's satisfaction, multidisciplinary approach in teledentistry.

Differences between bisphosphonate-related and denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaws: a systematic review.

Objective: Bisphosphonates and denosumab are both antiresorptive medications, each with their own mechanism of action; yet both may result in the same adverse effect: medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). The present systematic review aims to answer the following question: "Are bisphosphonate-related ONJ and denosumab-related ONJ any different, regarding clinical and imaging aspects?"

Methods: This review followed the Joanna Briggs Review's Manual, and the searches were performed on PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and Lilacs databases and on the grey literature (ProQuest, Open Grey, and Google Scholar).

Results: The searches resulted in 7535 articles that were critically assessed.

A new cone-beam computed tomography-driven index for osteoporosis prediction.

Objective: To verify whether mandibular cortical analyses accurately distinguish postmenopausal women with normal bone mineral density (BMD) from women with osteoporosis by means of a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-driven composite osteoporosis index (three-dimensional mandibular osteoporosis index-3D MOI).

Material And Methods: The comparison was performed between 52 women with normal BMD and 51 women with osteoporosis according to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) examination of the lumbar spine and hip. Mandibular cortical width (MCW) and cortical quality were evaluated on cross-sectional and panoramic reconstructed images.

A Conservative Approach for Localized Spongiotic Gingivitis Hyperplasia Using Photodynamic Therapy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

To describe a clinical case of successful conservative management of Localized Juvenile Spongiotic Gingivitis Hyperplasia (LJSGH) using photodynamic therapy (PDT) and reviews the current literature on this pathology. LJSGH is a recently described rare disease with controversial treatment results. As of today, 13 publications report surgical treatment approaches.
