Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Periodontitis is a destructive disease that affects periodontal tissue. While current research focuses on disease management, research on tissue repair remains limited. Metformin, a first‐line medication for diabetes treatment, has positive effects on bone health in nondiabetic patients.

Periodontal Bone Loss Analysis via Keypoint Detection With Heuristic Post-Processing [PDF]
arXivCalculating percentage bone loss is a critical test for periodontal disease staging but is sometimes imprecise and time consuming when manually calculated. This study evaluates the application of a deep learning keypoint and object detection model, YOLOv8-pose, for the automatic identification of localised periodontal bone loss landmarks, conditions ...

Machine learning‐assisted prediction of clinical responses to periodontal treatment
Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Periodontitis is among the most prevalent chronic inflammatory conditions globally, and is associated with bone resorption, tooth loss, and systemic complications. While its treatment is largely standardized, individual outcomes vary, with some patients experiencing further disease progression despite adherence. Methods We developed

Disappeared roots: A case report
Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2008 Tooth resorption is a perplexing problem for all dental practitioners. The etiologic factors are vague, the diagnoses are educated guesses and, often, the chosen treatment does not prevent the rapid disappearance of the calcified dental tissues.

ViSTooth: A Visualization Framework for Tooth Segmentation on Panoramic Radiograph [PDF]
arXivTooth segmentation is a key step for computer aided diagnosis of dental diseases. Numerous machine learning models have been employed for tooth segmentation on dental panoramic radiograph. However, it is a difficult task to achieve accurate tooth segmentation due to complex tooth shapes, diverse tooth categories and incomplete sample set for machine ...

Salivary inflammatory biomarkers during initial orthodontic tooth movement [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Orthodontic tooth movement is a complex process involving a number of inflammatory and anabolic/catabolic pathways. Further, successful treatment depends on proper timing of orthodontic measures with regard to patient’s growth spurt ...

Peri‐implant inflammation increases the risk of osteonecrosis in mice treated with bisphosphonate
Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Bisphosphonates (BPs) are effective in managing bone diseases due to their anti‐resorptive properties but are linked to medication‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), particularly concerning dental implants. This study explored the combined impact of ligature‐induced peri‐implant inflammation and zoledronic acid (ZA), a BP ...
