Digital dental technologies for design, simulation and fabrication are constantly evolving. It is possible to digitally simulate dental movements, as well as displacements of both arches and to produce thermoformed splints manufactured from this simulation. The authors present the coupling of intraoral 3D scanning with low-dose radiation 3D radiography that allows for a very precise surgical setup, preparation of repositioning aligners, and fabrication of osteosynthesis plates. The orthodontic-surgical management protocol with aligners used by the first author will be described in detail. The authors present, through clinical cases, the progress made in orthognathic surgery thanks to 3D and the Invisalign thermoformed tray system. Looking at the three clinical cases presented, it can be seen that the average treatment time was much less than the average time for usual orthodontic-surgical protocols.

Background: Sarcoidosis, a granulomatous inflammatory disease, exhibits diverse clinical manifestations, often affecting multiple organs. Diagnostic challenges arise due to its similarities with tuberculosis, particularly in high-burden areas. Differentiating between the two relies on clinical judgment, laboratory tests, imaging, and invasive procedures.

Background: ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare but serious disease. Traditional case-identification methods using claims data can be time-intensive and may miss important subgroups. We hypothesized that a deep learning model analyzing electronic health records (EHR) can more accurately identify AAV cases.

Background: The application of natural language processing in medicine has increased significantly, including tasks such as information extraction and classification. Natural language processing plays a crucial role in structuring free-form radiology reports, facilitating the interpretation of textual content, and enhancing data utility through clustering techniques. Clustering allows for the identification of similar lesions and disease patterns across a broad dataset, making it useful for aggregating information and discovering new insights in medical imaging.
