Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two types of mandibular nerve blocks (extra-oral vs. intra-oral) in patients requiring arch bar fixation for mandibular fractures.
  • A total of 50 out of 200 patients with maxillofacial fractures were divided into two groups for this comparison, focusing on various factors such as pain levels, onset time of anesthesia, and complications.
  • Results showed that the intra-oral Gow-Gates technique had advantages in efficiency and ease of use over the extra-oral approach, which was found to be more complicated and potentially prone to complications.

J Conserv Dent Endod

September 2023

Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Maharishi Markandeshwar College of Dental Sciences and Research, Mullana, Haryana, India.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has mostly been used by dental practitioners to diagnose problems, plan treatments, make clinical judgments, and predict outcomes. In endodontics, convolutional neural networks and artificial neural networks, two types of (AI) models, have been used to study the anatomy of the root canal system, measure the length of root canal, identify periapical pathology and root fractures, prediction of success of retreatment procedures, and dental pulp stem cells viability. The goal of this review is to assess AI's role in conservative dentistry and endodontics.
