OBJECTIVES: Pulpal calcifications are discrete hard calcified masses of varying sizes in the dental pulp cavity. This study is aimed at measuring the performance of the YOLOv4 deep learning algorithm to automatically determine whether there is calcif...
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a visually explainable deep learning model for the classification of C-shaped canals of the mandibular second molars in dental radiographs.
INTRODUCTION: Structural defects created by endodontic treatment are the most common cause of major dental failures. This study analyzed levels of stress produced by endodontic instruments during the root canal treatment by photoelastic analysis of s...

AIM: This study aimed to evaluate (olive) leaves and (black mulberry) leaves as potential natural alternatives to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) endodontic irrigant. Their antimicrobial activity against () and their effects on both root dentin microh...
INTRODUCTION: The identification of C-shaped root canal anatomy on radiographic images affects clinical decision making and treatment. The aims of this study were to develop a deep learning (DL) model to classify C-shaped canal anatomy in mandibular ...
INTRODUCTION: This study proposes a novel data pipeline based on micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) data for training the U-Net network to realize the automatic and accurate segmentation of the pulp cavity and tooth on cone-beam computed tomograph...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a convolutional neural network (CNN) system for predicting C-shaped canals in mandibular second molars on panoramic radiographs.

OBJECTIVES: To develop an automatic segmentation method to segment the pulp chamber of first molars from 3D cone-beam-computed tomography (CBCT) images, and to estimate ages by calculated pulp volumes.
OBJECTIVES:: The distal root of the mandibular first molar occasionally has an extra root, which can directly affect the outcome of endodontic therapy. In this study, we examined the diagnostic performance of a deep learning system for classification...
This study evaluated the ex vivoantimicrobial efficacy of the EndoVac system and the photodynamic therapy (PDT) associated with chemomechanical debridement (CMD) and intracanal medication on Candida albicans. Seventy-eight sterile premolars were cont...
