Evaluation of maxillary transverse dimensions in individuals with a unilaterally impacted canine.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the maxillary width within individuals with a unilaterally impacted maxillary canine and to determine any association between the impacted canine location and some canine-related variables.

Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study using a split-mouth design included 22 CBCTs of individuals with unilaterally impacted maxillary canines (a total of 44 sides). The maxillary width was measured and compared in both impacted and non-impacted sides at various levels: basal, alveolar, and dental.

Utilizing a Novel AI Tool to Detect the Posterior Superior Alveolar Artery's Location's Impact on Maxillary Sinus Mucosal Thickening in the Presence of Periapical Lesions.

Periapical lesions have been implicated in sinus-related complications, but the precise influence of anatomical variations in the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) on mucosal thickening remains an uncharted aspect. The new AI tool employed in this research utilizes advanced image processing algorithms to enhance image visualization. : This study examines the accuracy of a new cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) software (eVol DXS, version 1.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Impact of Cancer and Its Treatment Protocol on the Success of Orthodontic Treatment.

Background: There are several significant gaps in current studies of the relationship between anti-cancer medications and orthodontic care that call for more investigation. As a result, the main goals of this systematic review and meta-analysis were to summarise and assess the information that was available regarding the effect of radiotherapy and anti-cancer medications on the overall successful completion of an orthodontic treatment plan.

Methods: A standardised data extraction form was devised in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis, with specific criteria implemented for selecting studies with low to moderate risk of bias.

An evaluation of cone beam computed tomography in verifying the level of collapse in obstructive sleep apnea patients.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in verifying the level of collapse in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients.

Methods: A prospective analysis of 30 patients with confirmed OSA was selected. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) was performed for all cases to determine the level of collapse clinically.

Accuracy of an electrical impedance device in estimation of remaining dentin thickness vs cone beam computed tomography.

The objective of this study is to compare the estimated values of remaining dentin thickness (RDT) recorded by a newly introduced electrical impedance device (Prepometer) with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and histological in situ measurement. A total number of thirty human molars were used in this study. A deep class I cavity was prepared.

Reliability assessment between clinical attachment loss and alveolar bone level in dental radiographs.

Background: The clinical attachment level (CAL) and radiographically assessed bone levels are used to assess the loss of periodontal tissue support in periodontitis, a chronic, multifactorial inflammatory disease of the periodontium. However, few studies have been done to study the relationship between these two parameters. According to our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the relationship between the two measurements using intraclass correlation analysis.
