Bayesian semiparametric inference for multivariate doubly-interval-censored data [PDF]
Based on a data set obtained in a dental longitudinal study, conducted in Flanders (Belgium), the joint time to caries distribution of permanent first molars was modeled as a function of covariates. This involves an analysis of multivariate continuous doubly-interval-censored data since: (i) the emergence time of a tooth and the time it experiences ...

Interpretable and Interactive Deep Multiple Instance Learning for Dental Caries Classification in Bitewing X-rays [PDF]
We propose a simple and efficient image classification architecture based on deep multiple instance learning, and apply it to the challenging task of caries detection in dental radiographs. Technically, our approach contributes in two ways: First, it outputs a heatmap of local patch classification probabilities despite being trained with weak image ...

Object Detection for Caries or Pit and Fissure Sealing Requirement in Children's First Permanent Molars [PDF]
Dental caries is one of the most common oral diseases that, if left untreated, can lead to a variety of oral problems. It mainly occurs inside the pits and fissures on the occlusal/buccal/palatal surfaces of molars and children are a high-risk group for pit and fissure caries in permanent molars.
