Bacterial microleakage at the implant-abutment interface in Morse taper implants
Aim: To evaluate the microleakage at the implant-abutment (I-A) interface of Morse tapered implants inoculated with different volumes of bacterial suspension. Methods: Morse tapered IA sets were selected and divided in two groups depending on the type of

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.

MICROSCOPE EVALUATION OF MICRO-GAPS AT IMPLANT-ABUTMENT CONNECTION
The use of custom CAD/CAM abutments in implant restorations has become a reality, but there are questions about the existence of micro-gaps at the implant-abutment junction larger than those of the original standard stock abutments.

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.

Multiclass Segmentation using Teeth Attention Modules for Dental X-ray Images [PDF]
This paper proposed a cutting-edge multiclass teeth segmentation architecture that integrates an M-Net-like structure with Swin Transformers and a novel component named Teeth Attention Block (TAB). Existing teeth image segmentation methods have issues with less accurate and unreliable segmentation outcomes due to the complex and varying morphology of ...
