Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the accuracy of three commercial and one open-source deep learning solutions for automatic tooth segmentation in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images from patients with multiple dental impactions.
- The analysis included 20 CBCT scans and compared expert-generated segmentations with those produced by the deep learning tools, utilizing metrics like Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and normalized surface distance (NSD) for evaluation.
- Overall, while all methods demonstrated good efficiency with average NSD around 95%, two solutions (Diagnocat and DentalSegmentator) outperformed others, highlighting variability in accuracy depending on the complexity of the cases.
Objectives: The COHQoL is a set of questionnaires used to evaluate the impact of oral health on children's quality of life. Although the CPQ8-10 and the P-CPQ have been translated and validated in French, the CPQ11-14 14 has not yet been validated. The aim was to develop a French version of the CPQ11-14 16-items.

More rarely, root resorption is a feature of genetic disorders and can help with diagnosis. Thus, the present review aims to determine which genetic disorders could induce pathological root resorptions and thus which mutated genes could be associated with them.

- Tooth formation involves specific interactions between epithelial and mesenchymal tissues, and any anomalies may indicate underlying health issues in systems like the kidneys, bones, or nervous system.
- The process of tooth development starts at three weeks of gestation, initiated by a signal from the PITX2 gene, and progresses through various stages influenced by multiple transcription factors and growth factors such as BMP, FGF, SHH, and WNT.
- Disruptions in these developmental processes can lead to changes in tooth structure and shape, which should be considered in patient assessments and could help identify genetic abnormalities for better multidisciplinary treatment.
Statement Of Problem: Cleft lip and palate are the most frequent congenital anomalies of the face and are often linked with lateral incisor agenesis. The therapeutic decision on whether and how to replace the lateral incisors is not straightforward, and a decision-making tree is needed.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the available literature reporting on treatments for the replacement of missing lateral incisors in cleft areas.
