Objectives: To estimate the joint correlations among cervical vertebrae maturation (CVM), spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS), midpalatal suture maturation (MPS), and third molar mineralization (TMM) and to assess the predictive potential of SOS on CVM and MPS.
Materials And Methods: 570 pretreatment cone-beam computed tomogram (CBCT) scans from three private practices were analyzed, and MPS, CVM, SOS, and TMM stages were categorized and recorded by two independent investigators. Intra- and inter-rater reliability tests were evaluated with weighted Cohen's kappa tests.
Introduction: This study aimed to clinically evaluate the accuracy of Dental Monitoring's (DM) artificial intelligence (AI) image analysis and oral hygiene notification algorithm in identifying oral hygiene and mucogingival conditions.
Methods: Twenty-four patients seeking orthodontic therapy were monitored by DM oral hygiene protocol during their orthodontic treatment. During the bonding appointment and at each of 10 subsequent adjustment visits, a total of 232 clinical oral examinations were performed to assess the presence of the 3 oral hygiene parameters that DM monitors.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the color and light-transmittance changes of rough and smooth thermoformed retainers made from copolyester and polyurethane after they were stained and then destained.
- Over 800 samples were stained in various solutions for 28 days and then subjected to multiple destaining methods; light transmittance and color changes were measured objectively.
- Results showed that while both materials stained similarly, rough surfaces of materials were more affected by staining and destaining processes, with coffee and tea causing the most significant color changes.
Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic forced many dental clinics to shut down or limit services, leading to a surge in the use of Teleorthodontics for remote consultations and treatment monitoring.
- A survey was conducted at the University of Illinois, Chicago, involving 364 orthodontic patients and faculty, to assess their acceptance and willingness to continue using Teleorthodontics post-pandemic.
- Results showed high satisfaction rates (92%) among users, with many patients appreciating the convenience and time savings, while about 30% of providers reported positive interactions and expressed interest in recommending it for future use.
Introduction: An in-vivo evaluation of the Dental Monitoring (DM; Paris, France) Artificial Intelligence Driven Remote Monitoring technology was conducted in an active clinical setting. Our objectives were to compare the accuracy and validity of the 3-dimensional (3D) digital models remotely generated from the DM application to 3D Digital Models generated from the iTero Element 5D intraoral scanner (Align Technologies, San Jose, Calif) of patients' dentition during in-vivo fixed orthodontic treatment.
Methods: The orthodontic treatment of 24 patients (aged 14-55 years) was tracked across an average of 13.
