Machine Learning‐Based Screening for Osteonecrosis of the Jaw in Panoramic Radiographs

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a serious condition associated mainly with antiresorptive therapy and maxillofacial radiotherapy. As detection of its radiographic findings may facilitate patient referral, this study aimed to develop convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for ONJ screening in panoramic radiographs (OPGs).

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Conservative Management of Pediatric Mandibular Condylar Fractures: A Systematic Review

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mandibular condylar fractures are common mandibular injuries in children. Conservative treatment is generally favored because of the remodeling capacity of the growing condyle, although rehabilitation protocols and the criteria for operative treatment remain variable.
