OBJECTIVES: Precisely diagnosing skeletal class is mandatory for correct orthodontic treatment. Artificial intelligence (AI) could increase efficiency during diagnostics and contribute to automated workflows. So far, no AI-driven process can differen...
BACKGROUND: Craniofacial phenotyping is essential for individualized orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Traditional skeletal classifications, such as the ANB angle, may oversimplify complex relationships among malocclusion types. Machine l...
In orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery, accurate cephalometric analysis and treatment outcome prediction are critical for clinical decision-making. Traditional approaches rely on manual landmark identification, which is time-consuming and subject ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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 ...

The aim of this study was to use machine learning (ML) to classify sagittal and vertical skeletal discrepancies in three-dimensional (3D) facial scans, as well as to evaluate shape variability. 3D facial scans from 435 pre-orthodontic patients were s...
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...
