Radiomics-Based Diagnosis in Dentomaxillofacial Radiology: A Systematic Review.

Radiomics is a quantitative tool for digital image analysis. This systematic review aims to investigate the scientific articles to evaluate the potential implications of Radiomics analysis in Dentomaxillofacial Radiology (DMFR). Studies regarding Radiomics applications in DMFR and human samples, in vivo study, a case reports/series if ≧5 samples were included, while case reports/series if < 5 samples, articles other than in English, abstracts without full text, and studies published before 2015 were excluded.

Effect of different cone beam computed tomography settings on artifact production in titanium and zirconia dental implants: An in vitro study.

Background: The use of dental implants in the treatment of edentulous patients is increasing. Zirconia implants are an alternative to titanium implants, offering advantages in terms of aesthetics and biological compatibility. However, the number of artifacts observed on radiographic images with zirconia implants compared to titanium implants is yet to be determined.

Third molar maturity index (I) assessment according to different geographical zones: a large multi-ethnic study sample.

Identification of living undocumented individuals highlights the need for accurate, precise, and reproducible age estimation methods, especially in those cases involving minors. However, when their country of origin is unknown, or it can be only roughly estimated, it is extremely difficult to apply assessment policies, procedures, and practices that are accurate and child-sensitive. The main aim of this research is to optimize the correct classification of adults and minors by establishing new cut-off values for four different continents (Africa, America, Asia, and Europe).

Effects of maxillary expansion and protraction on pharyngeal airway dimensions in relation to changes in head posture and hyoid position : A retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: To assess changes in pharyngeal airway dimensions, head posture and hyoid position after maxillary expansion and face mask (FM) treatment compared to untreated class III patients.

Methods: This study examined 24 class III patients (10 girls, 14 boys, mean age: 10.97 ± 0.
