Precision Oral Medicine: A DPR Segmentation and Transfer Learning Approach for Detecting Third Molar Compress Inferior Alveolar Nerve.

Extraction of the third molar of the mandible is one of the most common oral surgical procedures. Preoperative monitoring and assessment are crucial to mitigate neurological risks. Identifying whether the third molar in the mandible compresses the inferior alveolar nerve still relies on dental professionals, a task that is repetitive and time-consuming.

Deep Learning-Assisted Diagnostic System: Implant Brand Detection Using Improved IB-YOLOv10 in Periapical Radiographs.

: Implant brand identification is critical in modern dental clinical diagnostics. With the increasing variety of implant brands and the difficulty of accurate identification in periapical radiographs, there is a growing demand for automated solutions. This study aims to leverage deep learning techniques to assist in dental implant classification, providing dentists with an efficient and reliable tool for implant brand detection.

Automated Caries Detection Under Dental Restorations and Braces Using Deep Learning.

In the dentistry field, dental caries is a common issue affecting all age groups. The presence of dental braces and dental restoration makes the detection of caries more challenging. Traditionally, dentists rely on visual examinations to diagnose caries under restoration and dental braces, which can be prone to errors and are time-consuming.

Deep Learning-Assisted Diagnostic System: Apices and Odontogenic Sinus Floor Level Analysis in Dental Panoramic Radiographs.

Odontogenic sinusitis is a type of sinusitis caused by apical lesions of teeth near the maxillary sinus floor. Its clinical symptoms are highly like other types of sinusitis, often leading to misdiagnosis as general sinusitis by dentists in the early stages. This misdiagnosis delays treatment and may be accompanied by toothache.

Precision Medicine Assessment of the Radiographic Defect Angle of the Intrabony Defect in Periodontal Lesions by Deep Learning of Bitewing Radiographs.

In dental diagnosis, evaluating the severity of periodontal disease by analyzing the radiographic defect angle of the intrabony defect is essential for effective treatment planning. However, dentists often rely on clinical examinations and manual analysis, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Due to the high recurrence rate of periodontal disease after treatment, accurately evaluating the radiographic defect angle of the intrabony defect is vital for implementing targeted interventions, which can improve treatment outcomes and reduce recurrence.

Precision Medicine for Apical Lesions and Peri-Endo Combined Lesions Based on Transfer Learning Using Periapical Radiographs.

An apical lesion is caused by bacteria invading the tooth apex through caries. Periodontal disease is caused by plaque accumulation. Peri-endo combined lesions include both diseases and significantly affect dental prognosis.

Evaluation of the Alveolar Crest and Cemento-Enamel Junction in Periodontitis Using Object Detection on Periapical Radiographs.

The severity of periodontitis can be analyzed by calculating the loss of alveolar crest (ALC) level and the level of bone loss between the tooth's bone and the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). However, dentists need to manually mark symptoms on periapical radiographs (PAs) to assess bone loss, a process that is both time-consuming and prone to errors. This study proposes the following new method that contributes to the evaluation of disease and reduces errors.

Auxiliary Diagnosis of Dental Calculus Based on Deep Learning and Image Enhancement by Bitewing Radiographs.

In the field of dentistry, the presence of dental calculus is a commonly encountered issue. If not addressed promptly, it has the potential to lead to gum inflammation and eventual tooth loss. Bitewing (BW) images play a crucial role by providing a comprehensive visual representation of the tooth structure, allowing dentists to examine hard-to-reach areas with precision during clinical assessments.

A High-Accuracy Detection System: Based on Transfer Learning for Apical Lesions on Periapical Radiograph.

Apical Lesions, one of the most common oral diseases, can be effectively detected in daily dental examinations by a periapical radiograph (PA). In the current popular endodontic treatment, most dentists spend a lot of time manually marking the lesion area. In order to reduce the burden on dentists, this paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based regional analysis model for spical lesions for periapical radiographs.
