This study aimed to assess the prevalence and shape of bifid MC in an Iranian population.Materials and methods: A total of 681 patients who had undergone cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for different purposes between 2018 and 2020 were evaluated. After detection, bifid MCs were classified into four types forward, buccolingual, dental, and retromolar. CBCT images were assessed by two oral and maxillofacial radiologists. Data were analyzed by SPSS using an independent t-test and Chi-square test.Results: Bifid MC was found in 23 (3.4%) out of 681 patients, with a mean age of 32.21 years. Ten patients (1.5%) had a bifid MC on the right side, 6 (0.9%) on the left side, and 7 (1%) bilaterally. However, no significant correlation was found between laterality and the prevalence of bifid MC (P > 0.05). Bifid MC was found in 8 males (34.8%) and 15 females (65.2%). Gender had no significant correlation with the prevalence of bifid MC (P > 0.05). Forward type was the most common (n = 8, 1.2%) followed by buccolingual (n = 5, 0.73%), dental (n = 2, 0.3%), and retromolar (n = 1, 0.14%) types.Conclusion: According to the present results, bifid MC was not uncommon in the Iranian population of the present study, and forward type was the most common, followed by buccal and then dental bifid MCs. There was no significant correlation between sex and age with bifid MC but bifid MC was detected more frequently in females than males, and it was seen unilaterally in a higher percentage of the cases.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10279572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, for dental X-ray image segmentation, blocks and convolutional block structures using inverted residual blocks are upgraded by taking advantage of U-Net's network capacity-intensive connections. At the same time, we propose a method for jumping connections in which bi-directional convolution long short-term memory is used instead of a simple connection. Assessment of the proposed artificial intelligence model performance was evaluated with accuracy, F1-score, intersection over union, and recall.Results: In the proposed method, experimental results are obtained with 99.82% accuracy, 91.59% F1-score, 84.48% intersection over union, and 90.71% recall.Conclusion: Our findings show that our artificial intelligence system could help with future diagnostic support in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10281127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spur length and craniofacial characteristics were evaluated using cephalograms. Based on spur length, subjects were divided into two groups: the OS group (N = 209) and the enlarged occipital spur (EOS) group (N = 242).

After adjusting for gender and age, ramus height, mandibular body length, effective length of maxilla, effective length of mandible, anterior cranial base length, posterior cranial base length, anterior facial height, posterior facial height, facial height index, and lower anterior facial height had statistically significant differences between OS group and EOS group.Conclusions: Males exhibit greater spur length than females. Patients under 18 had a shorter spur length than adults. Linear craniofacial measurements were found to be greater in subjects with EOS than the individuals with OS.

A standard deep Class II cavities was created in the middle of the mesial surface of all teeth. In 100 teeth of the experimental and control groups, secondary caries was artificially demineralized.

The horizontal and vertical diameter of the MF and the distance between it and the alveolar crest were evaluated with USG and CBCT. In addition, mental artery blood flow parameters were examined by USG.Results: When the horizontal diameter values of MF were compared in USG and CBCT measurements; the diameter was significantly lower in the measurements obtained by USG (p < 0.05). It was observed that there were no mental arteries whose blood flow could not be recorded, 31 (25.8%) had strong blood flow and 89 (74.2%) had weak blood flow. No significant correlation was observed between gender and blood flow parameters (p > 0.05).Conclusions: Considering that CBCT images are used as gold standard in our study, it may be said that USG is not as reliable as CBCT in evaluating the MF dimensions in the maxillofacial region.
