Objectives
To evaluate the effectiveness of deep learning (DL) in medical imaging for improving clinical procedures related to the mandibular third molar (MM3).
Methods
Our systematic search included databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, up to April 10, 2024. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool was used to assess the potential bias and clinical relevance of the studies. To examine the interaction between MM3 and the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), we conducted a meta-analysis using a bivariate mixed-effects model to compare the performance of DL methods with that of human experts.
Results
In this comprehensive review, a total of 33 scholarly works involving 45,029 imaging instances were analyzed. Among these, 15 studies specifically focused on evaluating the performance of DL methods in identifying the spatial relationship between MM3 and IAN. The aggregated results showed that DL achieved a diagnostic sensitivity of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.85-0.93) and a specificity of 0.88 (95% CI, 0.80-0.93). In parallel, a comparative meta-analysis that included assessments from 16 clinical experts revealed slightly lower sensitivity (0.76; 95% CI, 0.65-0.85) and specificity (0.86; 95% CI, 0.70-0.94). Additionally, the review explored the utility of DL in predictive modeling of MM3 eruption, assessing the complexity of extraction procedures, and identifying MM3 characteristics. The 18 studies in this area demonstrated diagnostic sensitivity ranging from 0.80 to 0.94 and specificity from 0.75 to 0.97, collectively highlighting the strong prognostic capabilities of DL in these clinical applications.
Conclusions
DL has demonstrated remarkable efficacy, especially in precisely identifying the anatomical connections between MM3 and IAN. Moreover, DL excels in identifying, categorizing, and assessing the complexity associated with MM3 extractions. This study confirms the substantial value of DL, particularly when utilized through image-based methods, in improving clinical management strategies for MM3. The creation of intelligent diagnostic tools using oral panoramic radiographs (OPGs) is strongly encouraged to assist physicians, especially those with limited clinical experience, in enhancing their diagnostic accuracy. These advancements in DL applications are expected to significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of clinical diagnoses in oral and maxillofacial surgeries.

Objectives
To evaluate the efficacy of intensive application of Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus (CRFP), MI varnish or Duraphat in treating white spot lesions (WSLs) of primary teeth over 12-months follow-up.
Methods
Sixty-six high-caries-risk preschooler children with active WSLs in their primary anterior teeth, were randomly allocated to receive intensive application of CRFP, MI varnish, or Duraphat. Lesions were assessed using ICDAS-II criteria and DIAGNOdent laser fluorescence at baseline and after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. lesion size changes were evaluated using standardized photographs after 3, 6, and 12 months. Visual analogue scale was used for assessing esthetic improvement after 6 and 12 months.
Results
Multivariable logistic regression models addressing caries arrest (using ICDAS-II severity scores) and reducing lesion activity revealed that CRFP achieved significantly higher odds of caries arrest (AOR=6.46, P = .011) and decreasing number of active lesions (AOR=19.86, P = .003) when compared to Duraphat. No significant difference was found between MI varnish and Duraphat regarding caries arrest (AOR=2.07, P = .242) or reducing lesion activity (AOR=4.11, P = .064). All study materials resulted in significant percent reduction in DIAGNOdent readings across time (P < .001). CRFP reduced DIAGNOdent readings significantly when compared to Duraphat at all time intervals while a significant difference appeared between CRFP and MI varnish groups only after 9 and 12 months. All the materials reduced lesion size significantly, with the greatest reduction achieved by CRFP, resulting in moderate to exceptional esthetic improvement.
Conclusion
Intensive application of CRFP exhibited superior remineralization and esthetic improvement of WSLs compared to MI varnish or Duraphat.
目的通过12个月的随访，评价密集应用currodon Repair Fluoride Plus （CRFP）、MI清漆或Duraphat治疗乳牙白斑病变（WSLs）的疗效。方法对66例乳牙前牙有活跃的高龋风险学龄前儿童进行随机分组，分别应用CRFP、MI清漆和Duraphat进行强化治疗。在基线和3、6、9和12个月后，使用ICDAS-II标准和诊断激光荧光评估病变。3个月、6个月和12个月后使用标准化照片评估病变大小变化。采用视觉模拟量表评估6个月和12个月后的审美改善情况。结果采用ICDAS-II严重程度评分和降低病变活跃性的多变量logistic回归模型显示，与Duraphat相比，CRFP实现了更高的龋齿抑制几率（AOR=6.46, P = .011）和减少活跃性病变数量（AOR=19.86, P = .003）。MI清漆与Duraphat在阻龋（AOR=2.07, P = .242）或降低病变活跃性（AOR=4.11, P = .064）方面无显著差异。所有的研究材料都导致诊断读数随时间的显著降低(P <；措施)。与Duraphat相比，CRFP在所有时间间隔内都显著降低了诊断读数，而CRFP和MI清漆组仅在9个月和12个月后才出现显著差异。所有的材料都显著减小了病变的大小，CRFP达到了最大的减小，导致中度到特殊的美学改善。结论与MI清漆或Duraphat相比，强化应用CRFP具有更好的再矿化效果和美观性。

Background and Objectives
Tele-dentistry combines telecommunications and dentistry to transmit clinical data for remote consultation and treatment planning. It improves dental care access for screening, referrals, and treatment. This study aimed to test the accuracy of intraoral camera and smartphone camera in the diagnosis of cavitated carious lesions among adults in Alexandria, Egypt.
Methods
A diagnostic accuracy study was conducted on adults above 18 years old visiting clinics of the Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University to compare 2 different tele-dentistry caries detection methods (intraoral camera (C50 Full HD with fluorescence) and smartphone camera (Samsung Galaxy A24) after randomizing the participants into 2 groups. The reference standard was face-to-face examination. The caries diagnosis was based on the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) through clinical examination, intraoral camera videos, and smartphone photos. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values were calculated for the 2 methods at tooth and surface levels.
Results
The study included 50 adults. The age group (26-40) comprised (46%) of the participants. Both cameras had high specificity and accuracy (>90%). The lowest sensitivity was in the case of detecting cavitated lesions at surface level (intraoral camera = 84.62% and smartphone = 79.52%). The smartphone camera had the lowest precision at both tooth (49.3%) and surface (58.4%) levels."
Conclusion
The intraoral camera showed higher accuracy than the smartphone camera especially in detecting cavitated carious lesions at surface level. While intraoral cameras are the preferred modality, smartphone cameras provide a more accessible and cost-effective alternative, especially in resource-limited settings. However, their limitations should be acknowledged.
