Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder, is expected to affect 60% of women aged over 50 years. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, the current gold standard, are typically used post-fracture, highlighting the need for early detection tools. Pano...

OBJECTIVE: Aim of this study was to investigate the forces and moments during segmented intrusion of a mandibular canine using Cantilever-Intrusion-Springs (CIS).
BACKGROUND: Dental radiology has significantly benefited from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) because of its compact size and low radiation exposure. Canal tracking is an important application of CBCT for determining the relationship between the...
BACKGROUND: In gender-affirming surgery, facial skeletal dimorphism is an important topic for every craniofacial surgeon. Few cephalometric studies have assessed this topic; however, they fall short to provide skeletal contour insights that direct su...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to train a 3D U-Net convolutional neural network (CNN) for mandible and lower dentition segmentation from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.
BACKGROUND: Preoperative assessment of the impacted mandibular third molar (LM3) in a panoramic radiograph is important in surgical planning. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a computer-aided visualisation-based deep learning (DL) sy...

BACKGROUND: Sex determination from the bones is of great importance for forensic medicine and anthropology. The mandible is highly valued because it is the strongest, largest and most dimorphic bone in the skull.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the patterns of pretreatment facial soft tissue shape in orthodontic cases with premolar extraction using artificial intelligence (AI) and to investigate the corresponding changes.
INTRODUCTION: Determining the right time for orthodontic treatment is one of the most important factors affecting the treatment plan and its outcome. The aim of this study is to estimate the mandibular growth stage based on cervical vertebral maturat...
Sex estimation is a necessary part of forensic and osteological analyses of skeletal human remains in the construction of a biological profile. Several skeletal traits are sexually dimorphic and used for skeletal sex estimation. The human mandible an...
