The arrival of a pneumonia disease with severe acute respiratory syndrome called COVID-19 has taken the world by storm. It is presence has made researchers and the World Health Organization (WHO) continue to try to find the right clinical management protocol to deal with this pandemic. The use of convalescent plasma, which has been around for a lon...

Background: When creating models utilizing artificial neural networks (ANN), it is crucial to consider the quantity of training data and the distribution of data, particularly when making gender predictions. Objectives: This study seeks to determine the potential impact of using Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) on gender prediction...

Forensic gender identification based on teeth is needed to identify incomplete victims, only bones and teeth. Previous studies identified gender by manually or semi-automatically measuring mandibular parameters based on landmark points. Gender identification, especially for victims of mass disasters, requires accuracy, so it takes longer, especiall...

Background: A significant public health challenge among children and adolescents is dental and oral health problems, which is around 60-90%. This dental and oral disease can have a negative impact on the quality of life, causing pain, limited oral function, and emotional stress, and can cause students' teaching and learning activities to decline. P...

In this research domain, deep learning approaches have demonstrated promising outcomes....

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, an...

Forensic odontology is commonly applied for victim identification using comparing antemortem and postmortem dental radiographs. However, in cases where a victim's teeth are incomplete or missing, the mandible bone can also be used as a robust alternative for victim identification. Gender identification and age estimation are two tasks to assist in...

span lang="EN-US">Under extreme conditions postmortem, dental radiography examinations can play an essential role in individual identification. In forensic odontology, individual identification traditionally compares antemortem dental records radiographs with those obtained on postmortem examination. As such, these traditional methods are vulnerabl...

Background: The parallel technique stands as a prominent method for radiographic examinations aiming to identify furcation involvement. Nevertheless, an inherent limitation lies in the frequent superimposition of the trifurcation region with tooth roots, potentially leading to inaccurate diagnoses. The Same Lingual Opposite Buccal (SLOB) technique...

Mandibular segmentation is an important step in gender identification and age estimation, which aims to segment the mandible from intact and complete panoramic radiograph. One of the main drawbacks of most existing mandibular segmentation methods is that they cannot completely represent the mandible. When conducting several segmentation experiments...

Objectives: To find out information about variations in the normal shape of the condyles based on gender using panoramic radiographic observations and to find out the frequency data for variations in the normal shape of the condyles. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive observational research using 122 panoramic radiographs as secondary dat...

Incisive canal located in maxillary anterior of hard palate around maxillary central incisor region that acts as a tunnel between the oral cavity and the nose. Incisive canal provide sensory innervation to the nasal septum and the anterior mucosa of the hard palate. The anatomical shape of the incisive canal varies individually, hence, should be co...

Introduction: CBCT-3D (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is an advanced radiographic imaging technology that is currently being developed and utilized in dentistry, with the advantages of accurately depicting three-dimensional (3D) tissue structures, minimal distortion, and low radiation dose. RSKGMP Universitas Airlangga is an educational dental hosp...

Objectives: Panoramic radiographs are used as a diagnostic tool adjunctive to oral examinations, treatment plans, and evaluation of treatment outcomes. This study was aimed to determine the distribution of Dense Bone Island (DBI) in the jaws through panoramic radiography based on gender and age. Materials and Methods: The method used for this resea...

Objectives The loss of bone mineral density (BMD) in various sites of the body, including the mandible, is the main sign of osteoporosis. Thus, the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system was developed for bone density assessment and patients were classified into normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups using a digital panoramic radiograph. Materi...

Objectives: This research is aimed do find out the differences of interprocessus distances between males and females using panoramic radiographs. Materials and Methods: This research is using observational analytic with cross sectional study design. Secondary data was taken from 96 panoramic radiographs consisting of 48 males and 48 females, from R...

In planning a mandibular posterior dental implant, identifying the exact location of the alveolar bone (AB) and mandibular canal (MC) is essential to determine the height and width of the available bone. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a 3D imaging modality widely used for dental implant planning, which requires a lower radiation dose compa...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been emerging in the dental field as an alternative diagnostic imaging for “optical probes” owing to its micro-meter resolution and non-invasiveness.
