Cone beam CT (CBCT) for dentomaxillofacial paediatric assessment has been widely used despite the uncertainties of risks low-dose radiation exposures. The aim this work was to investigate clinical performance different CBCT acquisition protocols towards optimization Custom-made anthropomorphic phantoms were scanned using a unit in six protocols. slices blinded, randomized and presented three observers, who scored image quality 4-point scale along with their level confidence. Sharpness also...
The purpose of the presented Artificial Intelligence (AI)-tool was to automatically segment mandibular molars on panoramic radiographs and extract molar orientations in order predict third molars' eruption potential. In total, 838 were used for training (n = 588) validation 250) network. A fully convolutional neural network with ResNet-101 backbone jointly predicted segmentation maps an estimate orientation lines, which then iteratively refined by regression mesial distal sides contours....
With the growing demand for dental work, trigeminal nerve injuries are increasingly common. This retrospective cohort study examined 53 cases of iatrogenic injury seen at Department Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospitals Leuven between 2013 2014 (0.6% among 8845 new patient visits). Patient records were screened post-traumatic neuropathy caused by incurred during implant surgery, endodontic treatment, local anaesthesia, tooth extraction, or specifically third molar removal. The...
Intraoral scanners are devices for capturing digital impressions in dentistry. Until now, several vitro studies have assessed the trueness of impressions, but vivo missing. Therefore, purpose this study was to introduce a new method assess intraoral and an clinical set-up.A impression using scanner (Trios® 3 Cart wired, 3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) conventional alginate (Cavex Impressional®, Cavex, Haarlem, Netherlands) as reference were made two patients assigned full mouth extraction. A...
The present study aimed to assess differences in postoperative morbidity between prophylactic and symptomatic third molar removals, the effect of age on recovery patient. Patients admitted for removal were prospectively followed up four times during treatment context M3BE study. Data collected through pre-, peri surveys (days 3 10). Uni- multivariable logistic regression was used probability symptoms discomfort day 10 according several patient- surgery-related predictive factors (age,...
Abstract Prediction of lower third molar eruption is crucial for its timely extraction. Therefore, the primary aim this study was to investigate prediction and uprighting with assistance an artificial intelligence (AI) tool. The secondary identifying incidence fully erupted molars hygienic cleansability. In total, 771 patients having two panoramic radiographs were recruited, where first radiograph acquired at 8–15 years age (T1) second acquisition between 16 23 (T2). predictive model could...
The aim of our study was to identify and predict patients at risk impeded mandibular third molar eruption potential relation between the roots canal, based on angulations in an early development stage.A total 1011 adolescent orthodontic were included this longitudinal study.We analysed pre-eruptive rotational changes root molars 2022 panoramic radiographs (two time-points). Five variables evaluated: level, stage, treatment. angulation mean annual change assessed using a linear mixed model....
The primary goal of this study was to identify and quantify indications for retaining third molars. This retrospective cohort included 1682 patients (818 male, 864 female; mean age 31 years) who were referred the University Hospitals Leuven molar removal. Eight reasons molars identified: (1) risk damaging adjacent structures, (2) compromised health status, (3) adequate space eruption, (4) serves as abutment tooth, (5) orthodontic reasons, (6) eruption into proper occlusion, (7) symptomless...
Abstract Assessing the possible biological effects of exposure to low doses ionizing radiation (IR) is one prime challenges in protection, especially medical imaging. Today, radiobiological data on cone beam CT (CBCT) related are scarce. In children and adults, induction DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) buccal mucosa cells 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) antioxidant capacity saliva samples after CBCT examination were examined. No DSBs was observed nor adults. only, an increase...
