Dental disease has long been proposed as a potential causative agent in certain dermatological diseases. However, literature data on this association are scarce. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate dental status in 92 patients with various dermatological diseases who were referred to our Department for elimination of dental disease and to assess the relationship between dental i...

T he age limits entitling to publicly subsidized dental care were abolished in Finland by the amended provisions of the Primary Health Care Act and the Health Insurance Act, which entered into force in their entirety on December 1, 2002.

entire South Korean population with health care coverage since 1989, periodontal diseases have ranked among the top 10 diseases that were most seen in outpatient care over the years. In 2014, Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES) and reported that the prevalence of severe periodontitis was 27.7% among adul...

Abstract Dental X-ray image segmentation is helpful for assisting clinicians to examine tooth conditions and identify dental diseases. Fast lightweight algorithms without using cloud computing may be required implemented in imaging systems. This paper aims investigate deep learning methods the purpose of deployment on edge devices, such as A novel neural network scheme knowledge distillation pr...

A review of state-of-the-art maxillofacial imaging is presented. Current imaging techniques include intra-oral radiographs, dental panoramic tomography, multidetector helical computed tomography, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The commonest conditions encountered in clinical radiological practice are reviewed, including maxillofacial deformities, comp...

Broken appointments continue to be an important productivity, quality assurance, and access gauge for private dental practices and academic dental centers. In November 2001, the University of Rochester Eastman Dental Center, an urban academic dental center, installed an automated confirmation system to address a high incidence of broken appointments. Following the installation of the system, th...

Wnt signaling is essential for tooth formation and Dact proteins modulate Wnt signaling by binding to the intracellular protein Dishevelled (Dvl). Comparison of the three known mouse Dact genes, Dact1-3, from the morphological initiation of mandibular first molar development through the onset of root formation using section in situ hybridization showed distinct, complementary and overlapping ex...

introduction: although proximal dental caries are very common, clinical examinations cannot detect them all. panoramic radiography has been widely used in dentistry for both diagnosis and screening. this study aimed to investigate and compare the efficacy of two digital panoramic radiography techniques in the diagnosis of proximal caries. methods: a total number of 60 patients referred to a den...
