Purpose: The objective of this scoping review was to investigate the applicability and performance of various convolutional neural network (CNN) models in tooth numbering on panoramic radiographs, achieved through classification, detection, and segmentation tasks.
Material and methods: An online search was performed of the PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus databases. Based on the selection process, 12 studies were included in this review.
Results: Eleven studies utilized a CNN model for detection tasks, 5 for classification tasks, and 3 for segmentation tasks in the context of tooth numbering on panoramic radiographs. Most of these studies revealed high performance of various CNN models in automating tooth numbering. However, several studies also highlighted limitations of CNNs, such as the presence of false positives and false negatives in identifying decayed teeth, teeth with crown prosthetics, teeth adjacent to edentulous areas, dental implants, root remnants, wisdom teeth, and root canal-treated teeth. These limitations can be overcome by ensuring both the quality and quantity of datasets, as well as optimizing the CNN architecture.
Conclusion: CNNs have demonstrated high performance in automated tooth numbering on panoramic radiographs. Future development of CNN-based models for this purpose should also consider different stages of dentition, such as the primary and mixed dentition stages, as well as the presence of various tooth conditions. Ultimately, an optimized CNN architecture can serve as the foundation for an automated tooth numbering system and for further artificial intelligence research on panoramic radiographs for a variety of purposes.

Purpose: This systematic review examined the detection of the posterior superior alveolar artery, along with various anatomic characteristics, on cone-beam computed tomography images.
Materials and methods: Studies were identified electronically through the Web of Science, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Embase databases. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using a 5-item binary scale. The detection rate, location, and classified diameter of the posterior superior alveolar artery were estimated as prevalence values. The diameter of this artery, as well as the distances from the artery to the alveolar crest and sinus floor, were estimated as means with associated 95% confidence intervals.
Results: Thirty-seven studies were enrolled, with 34 of these included in the meta-analysis. The mean detection rate was 79% (range: 72%-84%), and the mean diameter was 1.06±0.05 mm (range: 0.96-1.16 mm). The posterior superior alveolar artery was located intraosseously in 64% of cases. The mean distance of the artery from the alveolar crest was 16.71±0.49 mm (range: 15.75-17.68 mm), while the mean distance from the artery to the sinus floor was 8.85±0.4 mm (range: 8.05-9.64 mm).
Conclusion: According to the findings of this meta-analysis regarding various anatomic characteristics of the posterior superior alveolar artery, severe hemorrhage after damage to this artery during sinus augmentation procedures is not a substantial clinical problem.

Purpose: Ectopic eruption can be defined as the emergence of a tooth in an abnormal location, where the tooth does not follow its typical eruption pathway. While ectopic eruption within the dentate region is well-documented in the literature, ectopic eruption in non-dentate regions is relatively rare. This study aimed to report 6 cases of ectopic teeth and present a systematic review of the English-language literature on ectopic teeth, emphasizing demographic characteristics, radiographic features, potential complications, and treatment options.
Materials and methods: A literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. The demographic data and radiographic findings of patients presenting with ectopic teeth were recorded.
Results: The literature review yielded 61 cases of ectopic teeth, with patients ranging in age from 3 to 74 years. The findings from these previously reported cases demonstrated that the most common location for ectopic teeth was the maxillary sinus, which is consistent with this case series. The Pearson chi-square test was performed to evaluate the correlation between age and location of ectopic teeth, and the results were found to be statistically significant (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant relationship was observed between sex and the location of ectopic teeth.
Conclusion: The distinct features of these cases warrant reporting. This study presents the first case of supernumerary teeth in the condyle without any associated pathosis. Another notable characteristic is the pre-eruptive resorption of 2 inverted supernumerary teeth ectopically located in the palate, which predisposes to sinus opacification.
目的:异位萌出可以定义为牙齿出现在异常位置,牙齿不遵循其典型的萌出路径。虽然文献中有充分的文献记载,但非牙齿区域的异位萌出相对罕见。本研究旨在报告6例异位牙齿病例,并对异位牙齿的英语文献进行系统回顾,强调人口统计学特征、放射学特征、潜在并发症和治疗选择。材料和方法:使用PubMed、Medline、Web of Science和Cochrane数据库进行文献检索。记录异位牙齿患者的人口统计学数据和放射学检查结果。结果:文献回顾共发现61例异位牙,患者年龄从3岁到74岁不等。这些先前报道的病例的研究结果表明,异位牙齿最常见的位置是上颌窦,这与本系列病例一致。Pearson卡方检验用于评估年龄和异位牙齿位置之间的相关性,结果具有统计学意义(结论:这些病例的独特特征值得报告。本研究报告了第一例髁突多生牙齿,没有任何相关的病理学。另一个显著特征是位于腭外的2颗倒置多生牙齿在萌出前吸收,易导致鼻窦混浊。

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to play a major role in medical diagnostics. Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral diseases. The early diagnosis of periodontal disease is essential for effective treatment and a favorable prognosis. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of AI in diagnosing periodontal bone loss through radiographic analysis.
Materials and methods: A literature search involving 5 databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Health and Medical Collection, Dentistry and Oral Sciences) was carried out. A specific combination of keywords was used to obtain the articles. The PRISMA guidelines were used to filter eligible articles. The study design, sample size, type of AI software, and the results of each eligible study were analyzed. The CASP diagnostic study checklist was used to evaluate the evidence strength score.
Results: Seven articles were eligible for review according to the PRISMA guidelines. Out of the 7 eligible studies, 4 had strong CASP evidence strength scores (7-8/9). The remaining studies had intermediate CASP evidence strength scores (3.5-6.5/9). The highest area under the curve among the reported studies was 94%, the highest F1 score was 91%, and the highest specificity and sensitivity were 98.1% and 94%, respectively.
Conclusion: AI-based detection of periodontal bone loss using radiographs is an efficient method. However, more clinical studies need to be conducted before this method is introduced into routine dental practice.

Dear Editors, Since the early 20th century, protection from the deleterious effects of ionizing radiation in diagnostic imaging examinations has been a much-discussed topic. At present, there is a consensus among safety agencies about the need to try, whenever possible, to reduce the levels of radiation to which professionals and patients are exposed, based on the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable), ALADA (as low as diagnostically acceptable) and ALADAIP (as low as diagnostically acceptable being indication-oriented and patientspecific) principles. The last decade has been marked by growth in the sale and use of portable hand-held X-ray devices in dental offices and universities. Since the use of these devices makes it difficult for the operator to maintain a distance of 2 meters between the radiation source and patient, it is necessary to clarify the radioprotection norms. Given the lack of clear, concise, and direct information on this topic, this Letter to the Editor is extremely relevant. The development of the portable hand-held dental X-ray device has led to several advantages, including a reduction in size and weight, which allows for easy transportation to any required location. This makes it an appealing option for use in a surgical center during operations, in forensic dentistry, community work, and home care. However, the use of portable hand-held X-ray devices in routine dental care is not recommended due to the secondary radiation dose that the operator may receive during radiographic examinations. Studies have been conducted to develop protocols that ensure excellent operator safety, reducing or avoiding exposure to radiation. Protective measures have proven effective in reducing the radiation dose to the operator, thereby enhancing protection against secondary radiation during radiographic exams conducted with portable hand-held dental X-ray devices. These measures include 1) operating the portable device with arms fully extended to maintain distance from the body, 2) using a backscatter shield on the cylinder, 3) employing a longer cylinder, 4) wearing protective aprons, 5) using lead gloves, and 6) utilizing a rectangular collimator. These precautions are particularly crucial when the operator is in close proximity to both the radiation source and the patient. Additionally, staff members and the public should maintain a distance of 2 meters from both the patient and the radiation source, and avoid standing in the path of the central X-ray beam. It is important to emphasize that radioprotection measures will only minimize the effective dose received by the professional if the operator holds the device during the examination. Only when portable hand-held dental X-ray devices are used on a stand and operated from a protected area (either 2 meters away or behind a barrier), similar to the usage of conventional radiographic devices, can operators be fully safeguarded against secondary radiation. Consequently, manufacturers should

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI) program in identifying dental conditions using panoramic radiographs (PRs), as well as to assess the appropriateness of its treatment recommendations.
Material and methods: PRs from 100 patients (representing 4497 teeth) with known clinical examination findings were randomly selected from a university database. Three dentomaxillofacial radiologists and the Diagnocat AI software evaluated these PRs. The evaluations were focused on various dental conditions and treatments, including canal filling, caries, cast post and core, dental calculus, fillings, furcation lesions, implants, lack of interproximal tooth contact, open margins, overhangs, periapical lesions, periodontal bone loss, short fillings, voids in root fillings, overfillings, pontics, root fragments, impacted teeth, artificial crowns, missing teeth, and healthy teeth.
Results: The AI demonstrated almost perfect agreement (exceeding 0.81) in most of the assessments when compared to the ground truth. The sensitivity was very high (above 0.8) for the evaluation of healthy teeth, artificial crowns, dental calculus, missing teeth, fillings, lack of interproximal contact, periodontal bone loss, and implants. However, the sensitivity was low for the assessment of caries, periapical lesions, pontic voids in the root canal, and overhangs.
Conclusion: Despite the limitations of this study, the synthesized data suggest that AI-based decision support systems can serve as a valuable tool in detecting dental conditions, when used with PR for clinical dental applications.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification in muscle and connective tissue, with few reported cases affecting the head and neck region. Although plain radiographic findings and computed tomography features have been well documented, limited reports exist on magnetic resonance findings. This report presents 2 cases of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, one with limited mouth opening due to heterotopic ossification of the lateral pterygoid muscle and the other with restricted neck movement due to heterotopic ossification of the platysma muscle. Clinical findings of restricted mouth opening or limited neck movement, along with radiological findings of associated heterotopic ossification, should prompt consideration of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva in the differential diagnosis. Dentists should be particularly vigilant with patients diagnosed with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva to avoid exposure to diagnostic biopsy and invasive dental procedures.

Purpose: This pilot study was conducted to evaluate half-value layer (HVL) measurements obtained using a semiconductor dosimeter for intraoral radiography.
Materials and methods: This study included 8 aluminum plates, 4 of which were low-purity (less than 99.9%) and 4 high-purity (greater than 99.9%). Intraoral radiography was performed using an intraoral X-ray unit in accordance with the dental protocol at the authors' affiliated hospital: tube voltage, 60 kVp and 70 kVp; tube current, 7 mA; and exposure time, 0.10 s. The accuracy of HVL measurements for intraoral radiography was assessed using a semiconductor dosimeter. A simple regression analysis was performed to compare the aluminum plate thickness and HVL in relation to the tube voltage (60 kVp and 70 kVp) and aluminum purity (low and high).
Results: For the low-purity aluminum plates, the HVL at 60 kVp (Y) and 70 kVp (Y) was significantly correlated with the thickness of the aluminum plate (X), with Y = 1.708 + 0.415X (r=0.999, P<0.05) and Y = 1.980 + 0.484X (r=0.999, P<0.05), respectively. Similarly, for the high-purity aluminum plates, the HVL at 60 kVp (Y) and 70 kVp (Y) was significantly correlated with the plate thickness (X), with Y = 1.696 + 0.454X (r=0.999, P<0.05) and Y = 1.968 + 0.515X (r=0.998, P<0.05), respectively.
Conclusion: This pilot study examined the relationship between aluminum plate thickness and HVL measurements using a semiconductor dosimeter for intraoral radiography. Semiconductor dosimeters may prove useful in HVL measurement for purposes such as quality assurance in dental X-ray imaging.

Schwannomas are uncommon neoplasms of neurologic origin that are rare in the salivary glands. A schwannoma that persists for a long time is referred to as an ancient schwannoma if it is accompanied by degenerative changes on histology. The case described herein involved a 37-year-old man with an ancient schwannoma that had persisted for 20 years in his right parotid gland. Clinically, the lesion presented with swelling and pain. Computed tomography revealed a well-defined, multilocular enhanced lesion. T2-weighted magnetic resonance images displayed multilocular hyperintensity, while T1-weighted images showed a high signal at the lobulated margin and a homogeneous low signal internally. The preoperative diagnosis, based on the lesion's location and imaging diagnosis, was Warthin's tumor. However, a biopsy conducted after surgical excision identified the lesion as a schwannoma with cystic degeneration. This report also presents a summary of the characteristics of rare cases of schwannoma in the major salivary gland based on this case and a literature review.
