OralViewer: 3D Demonstration of Dental Surgeries for Patient Education with Oral Cavity Reconstruction from a 2D Panoramic X-ray [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Patient's understanding on forthcoming dental surgeries is required by patient-centered care and helps reduce fear and anxiety. Due to the gap of expertise between patients and dentists, conventional techniques of patient education are usually not effective for explaining surgical steps.

A diffusion model for microleakage in dental restorations
Dental Materials, 1985 Abstract Microleakage is a significant problem in restorative dentistry. A model based on the principle of diffusion was developed to quantify the process of microleakage. The model required a certain quantity of radiotracer to be placed in the cavity and allowed to diffuse through the microgap that existed around the restoration.

Inorganic Nanomaterials Meet the Immune System: An Intricate Balance
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Metal nanomaterials influence the immune responses, such as cytokine production and T‐cell activity. Unintended immune modulation can have significant consequences while its fine‐tuning may transform the oncology care. Within this review, a critical analysis is offered regarding the nano/immune‐interaction and suggests the future research directions to

Bayesian Nonparametric Policy Search with Application to Periodontal Recall Intervals [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 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.
