Background The detection and diagnosis of caries at the earliest opportunity is fundamental
to the preservation of tooth tissue and maintenance of oral health. Radiographs have …

Objectives Dental caries are caused by tooth demineralization due to bacterial plaque
formation. However, the resulting lesions are often discrete and thus barely recognizable in …

International guidelines for dental age assessment have recommended the use of methods
based on available population-specific data. The Third Molar Maturity Index (I3M) was …

Objectives This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the influence of the radiographic image file
format and the transmission application (app) on the diagnosis of proximal caries lesions …

Objectives To test and compare the performance of two radiographic methods for dental age
estimation on a large sample of Brazilian boys and girls. Material and methods The sample …

Objective To assess the influence of subjective enhancement of brightness and contrast of
digital panoramic radiographs on the detection of soft tissue calcifications. Materials and …

Objective: To evaluate the quality of images obtained with the addition of a lead foil to
intraoral digital receptors. Methods: Radiographic images of 34 single-rooted human teeth …

The ABFO study on third molar development is a benchmark in the scientific literature of
dental age estimation. In its 30th anniversary, the study has been reproduced in the present …

Objective: To assess the detection of simulated periapical lesions in digital intraoral
radiography with different levels of brightness and contrast combinations, and to investigate …

Objectives To evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of an artificial intelligence (AI)
software in identifying cephalometric points on lateral cephalometric radiographs …
