A commercially available, AI-based software program (AISP) for detecting common radiographic dental pathologies in dogs and cats was assessed for agreement with two human evaluators. Furcation bone loss, periapical lucency, resorptive lesion, retained tooth root, attachment (alveolar bone) loss and tooth fracture were assessed. The AISP does not attempt to diagnose or provide treatment recommendations, nor has it been trained to identify other types of radiographic pathology. Inter-rater reliability for detecting pathologies was measured by absolute percent agreement and Gwet's agreement coefficient. There was good to excellent inter-rater reliability among all raters, suggesting the AISP performs similarly at detecting the specified pathologies compared to human evaluators. Sensitivity and specificity for the AISP were assessed using human evaluators as the reference standard. The results revealed a trend of low sensitivity and high specificity, suggesting the AISP may produce a high rate of false negatives and may not be a good tool for initial screening. However, the low rate of false positives produced by the AISP suggests it may be beneficial as a \"second set of eyes\" because if it detects the specific pathology, there is a high likelihood that the pathology is present.

This study describes how clinical and radiological findings correlate with distinguishing EOTRH-specific symptoms from non-specific findings. Clinical and radiographic examinations of the rostral oral cavity were performed in 154 Icelandic horses. Each horse received a separate assessment of clinical and radiographic findings and was clinically and radiographically classified as either EOTRH Stage 0 (no findings), Stage 1 (suspicious), Stage 2 (mild), Stage 3 (moderate) or Stage 4 (severe). Analysis revealed statistically significant association between non-age-correlated bite angle, fistulae, gingival swelling, gingival recession as well as gingivitis and radiographic EOTRH diagnoses. Meanwhile, no statistical association was found between the occurrence of calculus or tooth mobility and EOTRH diagnosis.

To the author's knowledge, this report describes the first computer-aided design patient-specific implant (PSI) that has been placed for a critical sized bone defect in mandibular reconstruction of a dog in the UK. The aim was to restore mandibular stability using a regenerative approach combining a titanium locking plate and compression-resistant matrix infused with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) to bridge the 85 mm mandibular defect created by a segmental mandibulectomy. A 7-year-old neutered crossbreed dog with a focal 60 × 45 × 30 mm³ mildly ulcerated mass on the left mandible was presented. Histopathology confirmed a CAA. A left segmental mandibulectomy was followed by a delayed (secondary) reconstructive surgery. The porous titanium scaffold was manufactured from the first computed tomography (CT) scan and was designed with a channel to be filled with a compression-resistant osteoconductive resorbable sponge material infused with an osteoinductive solution containing rhBMP-2. Follow-up CT scans were performed on the day of the second surgery, and 4 and 12 months after the second surgery. Filling the porous titanium scaffold with an osteoconductive strip mixed with rhBMP-2 promoted bone remodeling and stimulated partial osseous integration of the implant; however there was no evidence of complete osteosynthesis bridging the bone defect as initially expected. Twelve months after reconstruction, dorsal longitudinal implant exposure necessitated PSI explantation. This study reflects a recent surgical therapeutic approach that can be utilised to reconstruct mandibles. PSIs can help reduce the known postoperative complications inherent to large gap mandibulectomies. Therefore, their use has the potential to improve patient welfare by restoring mandibular and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) stability, preventing mandibular drift, improving prehension, and reducing the risk of secondary TMJ degenerative disease and pain. It is likely that some implant design refinement is required to achieve better success rates for these challenging cases.</p>","PeriodicalId":17584,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Dentistry","volume":" ","pages":"8987564241306935"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143007717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
