The process of creating virtual models of dentomaxillofacial structures through three-dimensional segmentation is a crucial component of most digital dental workflows. This process is typically performed using manual or semi-automated approaches, whi...
OBJECTIVES: To assess the performance, time-efficiency, and consistency of a convolutional neural network (CNN) based automated approach for integrated segmentation of craniomaxillofacial structures compared with semi-automated method for creating a ...
This study aims at investigating a novel super resolution CBCT imaging approach with a dual-layer flat panel detector (DL-FPD).With DL-FPD, the low-energy and high-energy projections acquired from the top and bottom detector layers contain over-sampl...
OBJECTIVES: The selection of treatment for maxillary expansion is closely related to the calcification degree of the midpalatal suture. A classification method for individual assessment of the morphology of midpalatal suture in cone-beam computed tom...
Evaluating the mandibular canal proximity is crucial for planning mandibular third molar extractions. Panoramic radiography is commonly used for radiological examinations before third molar extraction but has limitations in assessing the true contact...
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the accuracy and reliability of deep learning in automatic graft material segmentation after maxillary sinus augmentation (SA) from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Zygomatic implants (ZIs) should be placed accurately as planned preoperatively to minimize complications and maximize the use of the remaining bone. Current digital techniques such as static guides and dynamic navigation are aff...
OBJECTIVE(S): This study aims to evaluate the influence of the piezocision surgery in the orthodontic biomechanics, as well as in the magnitude and direction of tooth movement in the mandibular arch using novel artificial intelligence (AI)-automated ...

PURPOSE: The use of iterative and deep learning reconstruction methods, which would allow effective noise reduction, is limited in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). As a consequence, the visibility of soft tissues is limited with CBCT. The study ...
OBJECTIVES: In interventional bronchial artery embolization (BAE), periprocedural cone beam CT (CBCT) improves guiding and localization. However, a trade-off exists between 6-second runs (high radiation dose and motion artifacts, but low noise) and 3...
