Statistical validation of a deep learning algorithm for dental anomaly detection in intraoral radiographs using paired data [PDF]
This article describes the clinical validation study setup, statistical analysis and results for a deep learning algorithm which detects dental anomalies in intraoral radiographic images, more specifically caries, apical lesions, root canal treatment defects, marginal defects at crown restorations, periodontal bone loss and calculus. The study compares

Emerging basic, clinical and translational research fronts in dental biomaterials R&D [PDF]
The current (2007-2007) structure and content of dental materials research has been investigated by identifying and describing the emergent research fronts which can be related to basic, translational and clinical observation research. By a combination of network analysis and text mining of the literature on dental materials indexed in the Web of ...

Bayesian Nonparametric Policy Search with Application to Periodontal Recall Intervals [PDF]
Tooth loss from periodontal disease is a major public health burden in the United States. Standard clinical practice is to recommend a dental visit every six months; however, this practice is not evidence-based, and poor dental outcomes and increasing dental insurance premiums indicate room for improvement.
