BACKGROUND: The recent impact of artificial intelligence in diagnostic services has been enormous. Machine learning tools offer an innovative alternative to diagnose cysts and tumors radiographically that pose certain challenges due to the near similar presentation, anatomical variations, and superimposition. It is crucial that the performance of these models is evaluated for their clinical applicability in diagnosing cysts and tumors. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was carried out on eminent databases for published studies between January 2015 and December 2022...

Postmortem fingerprinting is the fastest and most reliable way to scientifically identify unknown decedents from mass fatality incidents. In disaster victim identification (DVI), fingerprints, DNA, and dental examinations are the three primary methods of identification. Additional secondary identifiers such as comparative medical radiography, scars, marks, and tattoos can also be used if viable antemortem information can be located. As DNA technology continues to evolve, RAPID DNA may now identify a profile within 90 min if the remains are not degraded or comingled...

INTRODUCTION: The mandibular nerve and the mental foramen have occasionally shown variations in its anatomy. This report aims to present a case of lingual mental foramen recognised on three-dimensional cone beam computed tomographic imaging (CBCT). CASE REPORT: Routine Orthopantomogram (OPG) and CBCT images were evaluated to assess the status of impact third molars in a 31-year-old female who had visited the dental clinics in our institution. The OPG image failed to reveal any anatomic variation in the position of the mental foramen...

OBJECTIVES: Panoramic radiography is one of the most commonly used diagnostic modalities in dentistry. Automatic recognition of panoramic radiography helps dentists in decision support. In order to improve the accuracy of the detection of dental structural problems in panoramic radiographs, we have improved the YOLO network and verified the feasibility of this new method in aiding the detection of dental problems. METHODS: We propose a Deformable Multi-scale Adaptive Fusion Net (DMAF-Net) to detect five types of dental situations (impacted teeth, missing teeth, implants, crown restorations and root canal-treated teeth) in panoramic radiography by improving the You Only Look Once (YOLO) network...

Introduction The cysts of the maxillofacial region account for one of the most common pathologies of the head and neck region after the mucosal pathologies. Radiography provides an essential clue in early diagnosis and triaging, but it continues further as it is used to evaluate the post-treatment outcome. However, manual analysis is prone to errors. In this scenario, fractal analysis (FA) in radiographs uses mathematical methods to analyse the changes in grey scales in a given radiographic image. FA in odontogenic cysts is used to characterise their complexity, uncover hidden patterns, monitor treatment response, and potentially provide prognostic information...

In recent years, access to 3D printers has become increasingly affordable. Alongside industrial and private applications, the significance of 3D printing in the clinical context is also growing. For instance, 3D printing processes enable the production of individual anatomical models that can be used to support patient communication or aid in surgical planning. While filament 3D printing is common, stereolithography (SLA) and selective laser sintering (SLS) printing processes offer higher precision. For the use of 3D printing materials in radiology, understanding their attenuation properties concerning ionizing radiation is crucial...

Pulp volume can be assessed during dental treatment. Three-dimensional imaging techniques are not routinely used for this purpose because of high radiation doses. This study aimed to develop a novel method to measure pulp volume using periapical radiography. In this study, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used as a reference method. Periapical radiography and CBCTs obtained from the same patients (n = 32) were recorded. Pulp volume was determined by observing the density differences between the pulp and peripheral structures using ImageJ...
