Automatic Feature Segmentation in Dental Periapical Radiographs
While a large number of archived digital images make it easy for radiology to provide data for Artificial Intelligence (AI) evaluation; AI algorithms are more and more applied in detecting diseases.

Macrophages in periapical lesions [PDF]
Abstract – Macrophages are major constituents of periapical granulomas. They have a central protective role in both innate immunity and adoptive, antigen‐specific immune response. Macrophage activation may occur in periapical granulomas by cytokines produced by antigen‐activated T‐lymphocytes; by bacterial endotoxin, as part of the innate immunity; or ...

The effects of periapical lesion healing on bonedensity [PDF]
Operative dental procedures may promote pulpal infections, such as tooth cavity, trauma and teeth abrasion, anaerobic microorganism colonization causing total pulp necrosis, and periapical lesions that result in bone destruction in the periapical region.

Vital tooth with periapical lesion: spontaneous healing after conservative treatment [PDF]
It is often presumed that apical periodontitis follows total pulp necrosis, and consequently root canal treatment is commonly performed. Periapical lesion development is usually caused by bacteria and its byproduct which irritate pulp, develop pulpitis ...

Precision of Working Length Determination of Two Different Apex Locators in Teeth with Periapical Lesion: An In-vivo Study [PDF]
Introduction: Accurate working length determination is critical for the success of root canal treatment. While Electronic Apex Locators (EALs) have improved accuracy compared to radiographs, their performance can be affected by presence of ...
