Automated detection of anterior crossbite on intraoral images and videos utilizing deep learning
Malocclusion has emerged as a burgeoning global public health concern. Individuals with an anterior crossbite face an elevated risk of exhibiting characteristics such as a concave facial profile, negative overjet, and poor masticatory efficiency. In response to this issue, we proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model designed for the automated detection and classification of intraoral images and videos.
Influence of the scanning path on the accuracy of intraoral scanners in the implanted edentulous patient: an in vitro study
The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of scan paths on the accuracy (trueness and precision) of intra-oral scanning of an implant impression on an edentulous patient.
Clinical assessment of maxillary screw-retained implant prosthesis fabricated from digital versus conventional full- arch implant impression. A randomized controlled clinical trial
To evaluate the peri-implant marginal bone loss (MBL) and prosthodontic complications of maxillary screw-retained implant prosthesis fabricated from digital versus conventional full- arch implant impression.
Color Change of Laminate Veneer Restorations Applied to Bleached Teeth
The aim of this study was to examine the color stability of laminate veneer restorations restored with CAD/CAM material applied to bleached teeth.
Individualized digitally designed surgical template for guided soft tissue surgery in cases with severe gingival enlargement: A clinical application in hereditary gingival fibromatosis
The purpose of this study was to present the use of computer-assisted periodontal surgery utilizing a novel surgical guide for cases with severe gingival enlargement through a clinical application in a patient with hereditary gingival fibromatosis.
3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing of Single- Implant Overdentures. A Randomized controlled clinical trial
Mandibular single-implant overdenture is a well-established treatment modality for the management of completely edentulous patients. The use of CAD/CAM printing technology to fabricate complete dentures and overdentures is burgeoning. The trial aimed to clinically evaluate 3D-printed single-implant overdentures and compare outcomes to those of overdentures manufactured using conventional techniques.
Comparing the accuracies of freehand, static computer-assisted and robot-assisted dental implant placements: an in vitro study
To compare the accuracies among three oral implant surgical techniques: freehand (FH), static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS), and robotic computer-assisted implant surgery (rCAIS).
The Perception of Depth and Form in Fine Arts, Video Games and Medicine
Medical imaging technology has greatly improved over the last 40 years. A good example of this is the improved 3D reconstruction capabilities of CTs, which enable photorealistic reconstructions. This technological advancement has also taken place in the computer industry, and the development of modern graphics cards has fueled progress in video games. In art, many of the techniques used to improve three-dimensionality have been known for centuries. At first sight, these fields seem unrelated, but there is actually considerable confluence. This paper focuses on three areas: fine arts, video games and radiology. The art section illustrates different drawing techniques used to create three-dimensionality. The section on video games shows the development of video games from the 1980s to the present day. Finally, the medical imaging section focuses on the first 3D radiography reconstructions in the 1980s and the improvements to the present day. Contemporary video games and 3D reconstructions of CTs enable photorealistic impressions of 3D anatomical structures. An important factor is shadow casting and light, which has been known in fine arts for centuries. The effect on the observer of photorealistic 3D reconstructions in video games and in medical imaging can be largely explained by the knowledge of 3D techniques in drawings and paintings.
