Background/Objectives: Periapical lesions (PLs) are frequently detected in dental radiology. Accurate diagnosis of these is essential for proper treatment planning. Imaging techniques such as orthopantomogram (OPG) and cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging used to identify PLs. The aim this study was assess the diagnostic accuracy artificial intelligence (AI) software Diagnocat PL detection OPG CBCT images. Methods: included 49 patients, totaling 1223 teeth. Both images were analyzed by AI three...

Background: Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a common medical condition. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) effective in assessing TMD-related bone changes, but image noise may impair diagnosis. Emerging deep learning reconstruction algorithms (DLRs) could minimize and improve CBCT clarity. This study compares standard learning-enhanced images for quality detecting osteoarthritis-related degeneration TMJs (temporomandibular joints). analyzed of patients with suspected...
