[Robot-assisted and robotic systems used in dentistry].

In the present study, the role of robot-assistance in dentistry and the main ways of its further development are analyzed. The basic structures of mechatronic devices and the features of their application in dentistry were reviewed. A retro-prospective analysis of the structures of robotic and robot-assisted systems used in dental practice was carried out. The development of robot-assisted and rob...

CT-Based Quantitative Analysis for Pathological Features Associated With Postoperative Recurrence and Potential Application Upon Artificial Intelligence: A Narrative Review With a Focus on Chronic Subdural Hematomas.

Chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs) frequently affect the elderly population. The postoperative recurrence rate of CSDHs is high, ranging from 3% to 20%. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses have been explored to investigate the mechanisms underlying postoperative recurrence. We surveyed the pathophysiology of CSDHs and analyzed the relative factors influencing postoperative recurrence. Here,...
