Objective: To determine the risk of developing meningiomas after exposure to various types of dental ionizing radiation at diagnostic levels.
Method And Materials: A literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Clinical Key, and Web of Science. Data extracted from the studies were tabulated and a meta-analysis was performed using all relevant data.
Results: Twelve articles related to the topic that met the selection criteria were initially included in the systematic review. After evaluating the methodology and statistical analysis of each study, six were ultimately included in the meta-analysis. A forest plot created using RevMan v5.3 software (Cochrane Collaboration) produced a weighted odds ratio of 1.13 (95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 1.19) for meningioma risk.
Conclusions: Studies in the recent past have found a positive association between exposure to ionizing radiation and risk of developing meningiomas. In this study, no association was found between dental x-ray exposure and the development of meningioma. The data were weighted heavily for one of the subgroups due to a larger patient pool as noted via the forest plot. Regardless of the weighting, the majority of the subgroups showed no significant association, further strengthening this conclusion.

Impacted lower third molar classification and difficulty index assessment: comparisons among dental students, general practitioners and deep learning model assistance.
BMC Oral Health

Bangkok Hospital Dental Center Holistic Care and Dental Implant, Bangkok Hospital, Bangkok, 10310, Thailand.
Background: Assessing the difficulty of impacted lower third molar (ILTM) surgical extraction is crucial for predicting postoperative complications and estimating procedure duration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a convolutional neural network (CNN) in determining the angulation, position, classification and difficulty index (DI) of ILTM. Additionally, we compared these parameters and the time required for interpretation among deep learning (DL) models, sixth-year dental students (DSs), and general dental practitioners (GPs) with and without CNN assistance.

Aim: The current investigation aimed to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography and color Doppler performed in the diagnosis of intraosseous jaw lesions.
Materials And Methods: A total of 30 patients with intraosseous jaw lesions between the ages of 12 and 60 were selected for the present study. For every jaw lesion, a preliminary diagnosis was done using preoperative conventional radiographs.

A calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic tumour of epithelial origin accounting for approximately 1% of all odontogenic tumours. The intraosseous form occurs more commonly in the posterior mandible whereas the extraosseous form is common in the anterior maxilla. CEOT is often asymptomatic and presents with a painless swelling of the mandible.

Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Stomatology, Affiliated People's Hospital, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of near-infrared light reflection for detecting different depths of proximal caries in posterior teeth and to compare it with commonly used clinical oral examinations and bitewing radiography images.
Methods: Twenty-six patients with a total of 516 proximal surfaces were included in this study. The ground truth of the proximal caries was determined through a consensus reached by two experienced dentists after an intraoral examination assisted by bitewing radiographs.
