Article Synopsis
  • This study developed and validated a convolutional neural network (CNN) called YOLOv5 to identify impacted mandibular third molars in panoramic radiographs and classify the difficulty of their extraction.* -
  • The algorithm was trained on 1,300 images and tested on 430 images, showing a solid performance with precision-recall curves ranging from 72% to 89% and an AUC of 87% for classifying surgical difficulty levels.* -
  • The YOLOv5 model demonstrated a strong agreement with human experts, suggesting it could enhance clinical decision-making and be useful in screening for third molar issues.*

Aim: To evaluate M1 and M2 macrophage polarization in radicular cysts and periapical granulomas through an immunohistochemical analysis and the correlation between macrophage polarization and histopathological diagnosis, clinical characteristics and lesion volume using cone-beam computed tomography.

Methodology: Periapical biopsies diagnosed as radicular cysts (n = 52) and periapical granulomas (n = 51) were analysed by immunohistochemical method. Teeth with periapical lesion with no history of root canal treatment (primary lesion) and lesions persistent to root canal treatment (persistent lesions) were included.

Objective: To compare implant accuracy of combined static and dynamic (SD) computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) with static (S), dynamic (D) CAIS, and freehand surgery (FH) for single implant placement.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and twenty patients were randomized into four groups. Implants were placed using both stereolithographic surgical guide and dynamic navigation in the SD group, stereolithographic surgical guide in S group, dynamic navigation in D group, and conventional freehand in FH group.

Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC) is a rare malignant neoplasm characterized by the presence of ghostcells. It is considered to originate from either a calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) or a dentinogenic ghost cell tumor(DGCT). Its clinical and radiographic characteristics are non-specific, including slow growth, locally aggressivebehavior, and eventual metastasis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of field of view (FOV) and beam energy on the scatter-to-primary ratio (SPR) in dental cone-beam CT (CBCT).

Methods: An anthropomorphic phantom representing an adult male (ATOM Max 711-HN, Norfolk, VA, USA) was scanned using the 3D Accuitomo 170 CBCT (J. Morita, Kyoto, Japan) using 11 FOVs.
