Microbial differences between dental plaque and historic dental calculus are related to oral biofilm maturation stage [PDF]

Microbiome, 2019
Background Dental calculus, calcified oral plaque biofilm, contains microbial and host biomolecules that can be used to study historic microbiome communities and host responses. Dental calculus does not typically accumulate as much today as historically,

Classification of Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence Images Using Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Images are an important data source for diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases. The manual classification of images may lead to misdiagnosis or mistreatment due to subjective errors. In this paper an image classification model based on Convolutional Neural Network is applied to Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence images.

A Statistical Modeling Approach to Computer-Aided Quantification of Dental Biofilm [PDF]

, 2014
Biofilm is a formation of microbial material on tooth substrata. Several methods to quantify dental biofilm coverage have recently been reported in the literature, but at best they provide a semi-automated approach to quantification with significant input from a human grader that comes with the graders bias of what are foreground, background, biofilm ...
