The present study aimed to validate an enhanced artificial intelligence (AI)‐driven model dedicated to automated segmentation of MIC on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and to compare its accuracy and time efficiency with simultaneous segmentation of both mandibular canal (MC) and MIC by either human experts or a previously trained AI model.Materials and MethodsAn enhanced AI model was developed based on 100 CBCT scans using expert‐optimized MIC segmentation within the Virtual Patient Creator platform. The performance of the enhanced AI model was tested against human experts and a previously trained AI model using another 40 CBCT scans. Performance metrics included intersection over union (IoU), dice similarity coefficient (DSC), recall, precision, accuracy, and root mean square error (RSME). Time efficiency was also evaluated.ResultsThe enhanced AI model had IoU of 93%, DSC of 93%, recall of 94%, precision of 93%, accuracy of 99%, and RMSE of 0.23 mm. These values were significantly higher than those of the previously trained AI model for all metrics, and for manual segmentation for IoU, DSC, recall, and accuracy (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.0001). The enhanced AI model demonstrated significant time efficiency, completing segmentation in 17.6 s (125 times faster than manual segmentation) (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.0001).ConclusionThe enhanced AI model proved to allow a unique and accurate automated MIC segmentation with high accuracy and time efficiency.

Samples of peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) and granulation tissue were collected during surgery for immunofluorescence and cytokine analyses. Smoking exposure was assessed through cotinine levels. Macrophage polarization (M1/M2) was determined using immunofluorescence. Clinical, radiological, and microbiological parameters were also evaluated.RESULTSSmokers showed a significantly higher proportion of M1 macrophages (70.23%) compared to non-smokers (25.09%, p < 0.005). This pro-inflammatory shift correlated positively with cotinine levels (ρ = 0.694; p < 0.005) and pack-years (ρ = 0.81; p < 0.005). No significant differences in M2 macrophage counts, cytokine concentrations, or microbiota diversity were observed between the groups. However, smokers exhibited more severe PI lesions (p = 0.04).CONCLUSIONSSmoking is associated with a pro-inflammatory shift at the cellular level due to an increase in M1 macrophage polarization in PI lesions, suggesting a pro-inflammatory response that may exacerbate tissue destruction and hinder treatment outcomes.

Survival and technical complications were assessed at 6 weeks after crown placement (baseline) up to 36 months. The cumulative survival of the SICs was analysed as a non-inferiority design, assuming that the difference between the titanium group and the zirconia group is not more than 10%. Technical complications were assessed based on modified USPHS criteria and Pink Aesthetic Score (PES).RESULTSIn the zirconia group, three early implant failures occurred; all of them were successfully revised. After baseline, three implants in the zirconia group were lost due to insufficient osseointegration, and therefore the SICs have to be categorised as failures even though none of the SICs failed. The non-inferiority of the zirconia group could not be confirmed, as the cumulative survival was 10.7% lower compared to the titanium group (100%). The technical complication rate was low, with no statistically significant difference between the groups.
