OBJECTIVES: Lingual mandibular bone depression (LMBD) is a developmental bony defect in the lingual aspect of the mandible that does not require any surgical treatment. It is sometimes confused with a cyst or another radiolucent pathologic lesion on ...
BACKGROUND: Gingival phenotype plays an important role in dental diagnosis and treatment planning. Traditionally, determining the gingival phenotype is done by manual probing of the gingival soft tissues, an invasive and time-consuming procedure. Thi...

Many studies in the last decades have correlated mandible bone structure with systemic diseases like osteoporosis. Mandible segmentation, as well as segmentation of other oral structures, is an essential step in studies that correlate oral structures...
BACKGROUND: It is difficult for orthodontists to accurately predict the growth trend of the mandible in children with anterior crossbite. This study aims to develop a deep learning model to automatically predict the mandibular growth result into norm...

PURPOSE: For computer-aided planning of facial bony surgery, the creation of high-resolution 3D-models of the bones by segmenting volume imaging data is a labor-intensive step, especially as metal dental inlays or implants cause severe artifacts that...
This study aimed to investigate the accuracy and safety of mandibular osteotomy and distraction device positioning in distraction osteogenesis assisted by an electromagnetic navigation surgical robot. Twelve New Zealand white rabbits were randomly di...

The use of deep learning (DL) in medical imaging is becoming increasingly widespread. Although DL has been used previously for the segmentation of facial bones in computed tomography (CT) images, there are few reports of segmentation involving multip...
In this study, the accuracy of the positional relationship of the contact between the inferior alveolar canal and mandibular third molar was evaluated using deep learning. In contact analysis, we investigated the diagnostic performance of the presenc...
