OBJECTIVES: Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are advancing rapidly in medical research, demonstrating promising results in diagnosis and prediction within radiology and pathology. This study evaluates the efficacy of deep learning algorithms...
BACKGROUND: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a widespread pediatric dental condition that is influenced by a combination of biological, behavioral, and demographic factors. Salivary biomarkers, including beta-defensin-2 (BD-2) and statherin (STATH), o...
Early childhood caries (ECC) exhibits tooth specificity, highlighting the need for single-tooth-level prevention. We profiled 2,504 dental plaque microbiota samples from 89 preschoolers across two cohorts, tracking compositional changes with imputed ...
OBJECTIVES: Dental caries remains a significant global health concern. Recognising the diagnostic potential of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in caries assessment, this study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tool for accu...

OBJECTIVES: The application of deep learning techniques for detecting caries in bitewing radiographs has gained significant attention in recent years. However, the comparative performance of various modern deep learning models and strategies to enhan...
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed the diagnosis and treatment of dental caries, a prevalent issue in oral health care. Traditional diagnostic procedures such as eye inspection and radiography have limitations in...
OBJECTIVES: Annotating carious lesions on images is challenging. For artificial intelligence (AI) applications, the aggregation of heterogeneous multi-examiner annotations into one single annotation (e.g. via majority voting, MV) is usually needed. W...
BACKGROUND: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a major oral health problem among preschool children that can significantly influence children's quality of life. Machine learning can accurately predict the treatment outcome but its use in ECC management ...
OBJECTIVES: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have long dominated image analysis in dentistry, reaching remarkable results in a range of different tasks. However, Transformer-based architectures, originally proposed for Natural Language Processing...
