Background: In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) have made a considerable impact in dentistry, specifically in advancing image processing algorithms for detecting caries from radiographical images. Despite this progress, there is still a lack of data on the effectiveness of these algorithms in accurately identifying caries. This study provides an overview aimed at evaluating and comparing reviews that focus on the detection of using DL algorithms from 2D radiographs.

The goal of the present study was to assess the effects of age and sex on surgical outcomes in CMI.
Methods: In the present study, the authors examined MRI-based morphometric data from 115 individuals diagnosed with CMI (54 adults including 39 women and 15 men, and 61 children including 24 girls and 37 boys) and correlated them with Chicago Chiari Outcome Scale (CCOS) scores obtained 1 year after posterior fossa decompression.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the role of Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 (TTF-1) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) brain metastases, specifically its predictive value and relationship with patient outcomes.
- Researchers analyzed data from 245 patients who had brain metastases, looking at factors like tumor volume and survival rates based on TTF-1 expression status.
- Results indicate that TTF-1 negative patients had larger tumors, higher proliferation rates, and worse survival outcomes, suggesting that TTF-1 negativity signifies a more aggressive form of the disease, warranting further study on its underlying mechanisms.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how accurately clear aligners, specifically with Power Ridges and composite attachments, could achieve the desired labiolingual inclination of maxillary central incisors in adults with Class II division 2 malocclusions.
- It involved 24 patients, with results showing an average accuracy of 68.3% for the Power Ridges group and 71.6% for the attachment group, but no significant differences between the two methods were found.
- The findings suggest that clinicians should be aware that the predicted inclinations are not fully realized during treatment and may need to adjust their approaches for Class II division 2 cases.
User Insights into Fake Snap-on Veneers: Perceptions and Experiences.

October 2024
Purpose: The aim of this pilot study was to assess the knowledge and perceptions surrounding the use of fake snap-on veneers, as well as to evaluate the experiences of individuals who have used them.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted between October 2021 and January 2022. A questionnaire was distributed through social media platforms to individuals aged >18 years in Saudi Arabia, which assessed their personal and sociodemographic information and perceptions and experiences with fake snap-on veneers.
