Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency of different implant‐decontamination methods regarding biofilm modification and potential cytotoxic effects. Therefore, the amount of biofilm reduction, cytocompatibility, and elementary surface alterations were evaluated after decontamination of titanium and zirconium ...

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Segmentation in CBCT images using Connectivity-Based Selective Re-training [PDF]
Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) canal detection in CBCT is an important step in many dental and maxillofacial surgery applications to prevent irreversible damage to the nerve during the procedure.The ToothFairy2023 Challenge aims to establish a 3D maxillofacial dataset consisting of all sparse labels and partial dense labels, and improve the ability of ...

A MODIFIED TECHNIQUE OF INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE REPOSITIONING: RESULTS IN 11 PATIENTS [PDF]
Most often in the posterior of the mandible of patients who need implants, the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is too high to insert the implants, and the surgeons have to reposition IAN. In conventional techniques (to make the windows in the buccal aspect

Automatic tracing of mandibular canal pathways using deep learning [PDF]
There is an increasing demand in medical industries to have automated systems for detection and localization which are manually inefficient otherwise. In dentistry, it bears great interest to trace the pathway of mandibular canals accurately. Proper localization of the position of the mandibular canals, which surrounds the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN),

Inferior alveolar nerve injury is one of the most serious complications of mandibular molar surgery and may lead to litigation for mal-practice. Entrapment of the inferior alveolar nerve to roots of an impacted mandibular molars is extremely rare.

Semantic Segmentation Using Deep Learning to Extract Total Extraocular Muscles and Optic Nerve from Orbital Computed Tomography Images [PDF]
Objectives: Precise segmentation of total extraocular muscles (EOM) and optic nerve (ON) is essential to assess anatomical development and progression of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). We aim to develop a semantic segmentation method based on deep learning to extract the total EOM and ON from orbital CT images in patients with suspected TAO ...

Statistical modeling of diabetic neuropathy: Exploring the dynamics of nerve mortality [PDF]
Diabetic neuropathy is a disorder characterized by impaired nerve function and reduction of the number of epidermal nerve fibers per epidermal surface. Additionally, as neuropathy related nerve fiber loss and regrowth progresses over time, the two-dimensional spatial arrangement of the nerves becomes more clustered. These observations suggest that with

Outcomes after mandibular third molar coronectomy
Coronectomy is an alternative technique to mandibular third molar removal to avoid inferior alveolar nerve impairment. It is indicated in cases where the dental roots are in close relationship with the nerve which results in a higher risk of damage and ...
