Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an essential diagnostic tool in oral radiology. Radiolucent periapical lesions (PALs) represent the most frequent jaw lesions. However, description, interpretation, and documentation of radiological findings, especially incidental are time-consuming resource-intensive, requiring a high degree expertise. To improve quality, dentists may use artificial intelligence form deep learning tools. This study was conducted to develop validate convolutional...
To explore the global trends in blended learning undergraduate dental education during COVID pandemic and recovery phase by engaging with students faculty evaluate implications for post-COVID era.It was a pilot cross-sectional study which employed convenience sampling technique to recruit representatives of 80 institutions globally. A previously validated questionnaire consisting combination closed open-ended items used data collection. Responses these online questionnaires were processed...
Most common complication of sinus floor elevation (SFE) is membrane perforation (SMP).To investigate the correlation between SMP and potential risk factors to evaluate treatment outcomes.This study included patients who had undergone a SFE at Division Oral Surgery Orthodontics, Medical University Graz from 2013 2017. Analysis patients' records CBCT focused on patient-related (sinus contours, thickness lateral wall, interfering septa, crossing vessels, former oroantral communication)...
Aim: The purpose of this study was to obtain data concerning growth factor release within liquid and solid platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) matrices estimate the amount potential interindividual variations as a basis for further preclinical clinical trials. Therefore, we aimed determine possible differences in factors between PRF. Materials Methods: Blood samples obtained from four subjects were processed both PRF using standard centrifugation protocol. Five (vascular endothelial factor, VEGF;...
Background: Decompression is an approved alternative to cystectomy in the treatment of jaw cysts.This study aimed evaluate its effectiveness as initial procedure, well factors with potential influence outcome.Material and Methods: frequency decompression was analysed, whether completed one session or followed by enucleation at Division Oral Surgery Orthodontics, Department Dental Medicine Health, Medical University Graz, from 2005 2015.Further analysis focussed on potentially influencing...
Abstract Introduction Since antimicrobial resistance, caused by various factors including antibiotic overuse and abuse, is a severe challenge, the necessity of perioperative prophylactic for surgical third molar removal remains contentious topic. This study determined whether prophylaxis can reduce site infections (SSIs), swelling, pain in case wisdom teeth. Material methods A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with split-mouth design. medication 2 g amoxicillin,...
The aim of this publication is to provide a concept for prevention and standardized step-by-step clinical approach rare but serious potentially preventable complication dental local anesthesia.We collected data with PUBMED search using the key words "local anesthesia," "dental anesthesia/anesthesia" OR "mandibular block "complication," "hypodermic needle," "needle breakage" fracture," "foreign body AND removal" "retrieval." existing literature was systematically evaluated from 1980 date...
Neurosensory deficits are one of the major complications after impacted lower third molar extraction leading to an impaired patient's quality life. This study aimed evaluate incidence neurosensory and compare it radiologically corresponding position inferior alveolar nerve. In a retrospective study, all patients who underwent between January December 2019 were compiled. Therefore, clinical data as well preoperative radiological imaging assessed. total, 418 extractions (n = 555) included in...
Digital workflows have become integral in orthodontic diagnosis and therapy, reducing risk factors chair time with one-visit protocols. This study assessed the transfer accuracy of fully digital planned insertion guides for mini-implants (OMIs) compared freehanded insertion. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) datasets intraoral surface scans 32 cadaver maxillae were used to place 64 miniscrews anterior palate. Three groups formed, two using printed (A B) one freehand (C). Group A...
The aim of this validation study was to comprehensively evaluate the performance and generalization capability a deep learning-based periapical lesion detection algorithm on clinically representative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) dataset test for non-inferiority. evaluation involved 195 CBCT images adult upper lower jaws, where sensitivity specificity metrics were calculated all teeth, stratified by jaw, tooth type. Furthermore, each assigned index score based its size enable...
Abstract Objectives This feasibility study aimed to investigate the reliability of multi-factorial age estimation based on MR data hand, wisdom teeth and clavicles with reduced acquisition time. Methods The raw 34 volunteers—acquired a 3T system using times ( T A ) 3:46 min (hand), 5:29 (clavicles) 10:46 (teeth)—were retrospectively undersampled applying commercially available CAIPIRINHA technique. Automatic radiological methods were applied original image as well estimates decreasing...
Third molars often require surgical removal. Since three-dimensional radiological assessment is indicated in difficult cases to avoid complications, the radiation burden has be considered. Here, MRI may offer a dose-free alternative conventional X-ray techniques. The aim of this retrospective analysis was evaluate quality compared panoramic radiography impacted and partially lower third molars.Panoramic radiographs scans 28 Caucasian patients were assessed twice by four investigators. Wisdom...
The pathogenesis of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis the jaw (BRONJ) is still not completely clarified. Nevertheless, risk factors have been described.Implants and placement implants are known to contribute BRONJ risk. development bone exposure has reported after insertion implants, especially in patients taking intravenous bisphosphonates as linked existing probably associated with peri-implantitis.1,2,3Consequently, several authors societies labeled bisphosphonate therapy a limiting or...
In autumn 2011 we developed a concept for new service to be offered our teachers in connection with virtual lessons: eLectures. eLectures general are defined as recorded lectures. We offer two kinds of services: InfoSnippets and InfoCasts. represent short videos visualizing practical skills learned by medical students such measuring the blood pressure or how make surgical suture. InfoCasts recordings entire lectures including interactive elements. Basic consist voice recording combination...
Abstract Introduction Progress testing is a special form of longitudinal and feedback‐oriented assessment. Even though well established in human medical curricula, this not the case dental education. The aim was prospective development implementation first reported German‐language Dental Test (DPT) for undergraduate curriculum at Medical University Graz, Austria. Material methods Participation DPT compulsory all students terms 7‐12 (years 4‐6). Three tests, each consisting 100 items out pool...
Higher education in the European Union states has undergone a major reform towards harmonisation following "Bologna Declaration." The aim of this paper is to evaluate implementation Bologna Process Dental Education its 20th anniversary and identify commonalities differences way dental programmes are delivered EU.According study, an Internet search, based on EU Manual published 2015, was undertaken included representative university/dental faculty websites from each member state. search...
