A review of dental informatics : current trends and future directions [PDF]
Dental informatics is a rapidly evolving field that combines dentistry with information technology to improve oral health care delivery, research, and education. Electronic health records (EHRs), telehealth, digital imaging, and other digital tools have revolutionised how dental professionals diagnose, treat, and manage oral health conditions.

Self-Supervised Learning with Masked Image Modeling for Teeth Numbering, Detection of Dental Restorations, and Instance Segmentation in Dental Panoramic Radiographs [PDF]
The computer-assisted radiologic informative report is currently emerging in dental practice to facilitate dental care and reduce time consumption in manual panoramic radiographic interpretation. However, the amount of dental radiographs for training is very limited, particularly from the point of view of deep learning.

General anesthesia reduces complexity and temporal asymmetry of the informational structures derived from neural recordings in Drosophila [PDF]
We apply techniques from the field of computational mechanics to evaluate the statistical complexity of neural recording data from fruit flies. First, we connect statistical complexity to the flies' level of conscious arousal, which is manipulated by general anesthesia (isoflurane).

A Model-Based Architecture for Automatic Anesthesia Infusion [PDF]
This paper presents a model-based control architecture. Based on the Medical Cyber-physical Systems (MCPS) concept, we construct a safe and reliable automatic anesthesia control closed-loop system. The control architecture uses the patient's propofol pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model, using the calculated results as a feedback signal to correct the

Semantic decomposition Network with Contrastive and Structural Constraints for Dental Plaque Segmentation [PDF]
Segmenting dental plaque from images of medical reagent staining provides valuable information for diagnosis and the determination of follow-up treatment plan. However, accurate dental plaque segmentation is a challenging task that requires identifying teeth and dental plaque subjected to semantic-blur regions (i.e., confused boundaries in border ...

Generative Adversarial Networks for Dental Patient Identity Protection in Orthodontic Educational Imaging [PDF]
Objectives: This research introduces a novel area-preserving Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) inversion technique for effectively de-identifying dental patient images. This innovative method addresses privacy concerns while preserving key dental features, thereby generating valuable resources for dental education and research.

Dental anesthesia for patients with special needs [PDF]
To offer individualized dental treatment to certain patients who cannot tolerate dental treatment, sedation or general anesthesia is required. The needs could be either medical, mental, or psychological. The most common indications for sedation or general anesthesia are lack of cooperation, multiple morbidities, and pediatric autism.

DArch: Dental Arch Prior-assisted 3D Tooth Instance Segmentation [PDF]
Automatic tooth instance segmentation on 3D dental models is a fundamental task for computer-aided orthodontic treatments. Existing learning-based methods rely heavily on expensive point-wise annotations. To alleviate this problem, we are the first to explore a low-cost annotation way for 3D tooth instance segmentation, i.e., labeling all tooth ...
