Deep learning for tooth identification and numbering on dental radiography: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Deep learning models successfully can detect, identify, and number teeth on dental radiographs. Deep learning-powered tooth numbering systems can enhance complex automated processes, such as accurately reporting which teeth have caries, thus aiding clinicians in making informed decisions during clinical practice.PMID:38183164 | DOI:10.1093/dmfr/twad001 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in relation to salivary gland biopsy in Sj ögren's syndrome: a systematic review with meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The diagnostic accuracy of SGUS was similar to that of mSGB. SGUS is an effective diagnostic test that shows good sensitivity and high specificity, in addition to being a good tool for prognosis and for avoiding unnecessary biopsies. More studies using similar methodologies are needed to assess the accuracy of SGUS in predicting the result of mSGB. Our results will contribute to decision-making for the implementation of SGUS as a diagnostic tool for SS, considering the advantages of this method.PMID:38177085 | DOI:10.1093/dmfr/twad007 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Assessment of CBCT gray value in different regions-of-interest and fields-of-view compared to Hounsfield unit
CONCLUSIONS: The ROI location and the FOV size can significantly affect the GVs obtained from CBCT images. It is not recommended to use the GV scale within the posterior mandibular teeth region due to the potential for error. Additionally, selecting smaller FOV sizes, such as 8 × 8 cm, can provide GVs closer to the gold-standard numbers.PMID:37874074 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230187 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)
