Automated landmark-based mid-sagittal plane: reliability for 3-dimensional mandibular asymmetry assessment on head CT scans.

Clinical oral investigations
OBJECTIVE: The determination of the mid-sagittal plane (MSP) on three-dimensional (3D) head imaging is key to the assessment of facial asymmetry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of an automated landmark-based MSP to quantify man...

Digital and artificial intelligence-assisted cephalometric training effectively enhanced students' landmarking accuracy in preclinical orthodontic education.

BMC oral health
BACKGROUND: Digital cephalometric analyses, including those assisted by artificial intelligence (AI), are widely used in clinical practice. Similarly, computer-assisted learning has demonstrated teaching outcomes comparable to those of traditional me...

Machine learning models for improving the diagnosing efficiency of skeletal class I and III in German orthodontic patients.

Scientific reports
The precise and efficient diagnosis of an individual's skeletal class is necessary in orthodontics to ensure correct and stable treatment planning. However, it is difficult to efficiently determine the true skeletal class due to several correlations ...

Predicting changes of incisor and facial profile following orthodontic treatment: a machine learning approach.

Head & face medicine
BACKGROUND: Facial aesthetics is one of major motivations for seeking orthodontic treatment. However, even for experienced professionals, the impact and extent of incisor and soft tissue changes remain largely empirical. With the application of inter...

Deep learning based quantitative cervical vertebral maturation analysis.

Head & face medicine
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to enhance clinical diagnostics for quantitative cervical vertebral maturation (QCVM) staging with precise landmark localization. Existing methods are often subjective and time-consuming, while deep learning alternatives ...

Predicting orthognathic surgery results as postoperative lateral cephalograms using graph neural networks and diffusion models.

Nature communications
Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, is performed to correct severe dentofacial deformities and is increasingly sought for cosmetic purposes. Accurate prediction of surgical outcomes is essential for selecting the optimal treatment plan a...

CephTransX: An attention enhanced feature fusion network leveraging neighborhood rough set approach for cephalometric landmark prediction.

Computers in biology and medicine
The convergence of medical imaging, computer vision, and orthodontics has made automatic cephalometric landmark detection a pivotal area of research. Accurate cephalometric analysis is crucial in orthodontics, orthognathic and maxillofacial surgery f...

Accuracy of cephalometric landmark identification by artificial intelligence platform versus expert orthodontist in unilateral cleft palate patients: A retrospective study.

International orthodontics
OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of automated artificial intelligence (AI) cephalometric landmark identification in cleft patients and compare it to landmarks identified by an expert orthodontist. The secondary obj...

Three-dimensional analysis of mandibular and condylar growth using artificial intelligence tools: a comparison of twin-block and Frankel II Appliances.

BMC oral health
BACKGROUND: Analyzing the morphological growth changes upon mandibular advancement between Twin Block (TB) and Functional Regulator II (FR2) in Class II patients involves measuring the condylar and mandibular changes in terms of linear and volumetric...

Development of a diagnostic classification model for lateral cephalograms based on multitask learning.

BMC oral health
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop a cephalometric classification method based on multitask learning for eight diagnostic classifications.
