The aim of this study was to evaluate the reject rate periapical and bitewing radiographs among dental undergraduate students Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), identify type radiographic errors which are frequently encountered compare rates between Year 3, 4 5 undergraduates. 118 rejected 27 were collected from UKM undergraduates’ polyclinics for a duration 10 months. These further evaluate...

This pilot study aimed to implement and assess the performance of an experimental artificial intelligence (AI) mobile phone app in real-time detection caries lesions on bitewing radiographs (BWRs) with use a back-facing video camera. The author trained EfficientDet-Lite1 neural network using 190 radiographic images from Internet. model was deployed Google Pixel 6 used detect ten additional Inte...

OBJECTIVES The assessment of bitewing radiographs requires knowledge of radiographic anatomy and pathology, and the comprehension of possible effects of superposition which may lead to false positive diagnoses. Based on a clinical case report in which non-carious radiolucencies were discovered on the mesial surfaces of upper molars, this phenomenon, which has not been reported before, was expla...

BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is an age-related metabolic bone disease characterized by decreased mass and increased susceptibility to fracture. The literature suggests a relationship between oral bone loss and skeletal osteoporosis; however, most studies have produced conflicting results. The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists among alveolar bone loss, alveolar bone dens...

AIM To compare in vivo, clinical examination (CE) and bitewing radiographs (BW) for the detection of cavitations and initial approximal lesions in deciduous molars with validation after temporary separation (TS) and direct visual examination (DE) of the approximal surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty children aged 4 to 8 years without visual cavitations or restorations and with at least one...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the accuracy of the Canary System (CS) to detect proximal caries lesions in vitro, and compared it with conventional methods: International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) II and bitewing radiography (BW). METHODS Visible proximal surfaces of extracted human teeth were assessed by ICDAS-II before setting them in five manikin mouth models. Then ...

statement of the problem early detection of periodontal disease and distruction is important for prevention of further destruction of the tissues. we carried out this study to determine the normal cement enamel junction (cej) to alveolar bone crest (abc) distance in the interproximal area of primary molars on bitewing (b. w) radiographs in healthy 7-9 year old girls living in hamadan, iran. mat...
