Additionally, it assessed associations between these morphological and demographic parameters and their correlation with patients' skeletal class.Methods: 208 lateral cephalometric radiographs (154 female, 54 male; age 8-58 years) from DPU Dental Clinic (Austria) were included. Size, skeletal class, shape, age, and gender of ST were tested for significance in correlation using, (M)ANOVA, and chi-square.Results: Linear dimensions of ST ranged from 11.1 to 12.9 mm across readers, with a standard deviation of 2.0-2.2 mm. Normal ST (49.76%) and round ST (58.77%) were the most frequent. ST bridging was detected in 6.97%. Skeletal class I appeared most frequently (54.8%). Statistical significance was observed between age, gender, and ST length, with further significant age effects on ST shape. Moreover, age showed significant modification of ST shape, while skeletal parameters appeared unaffected by other ST parameters.Conclusions: These preliminary findings define normal ST dimensions in an Austrian population, offering reference values for clinical interpretation and broadening the available European data. Clear associations between morphological and demographic parameters were detected.

The aim of this study is to introduce a novel method for detecting pulp stones on panoramic radiography images using a deep learning-based two-stage pipeline architecture.Materials and methods: The first stage involved tooth localization with the YOLOv8 model, followed by pulp stone classification using ResNeXt. 375 panoramic images were included in this study, and a comprehensive set of evaluation metrics, including precision, recall, false-negative rate, false-positive rate, accuracy, and F1 score was employed to rigorously assess the performance of the proposed architecture.Results: Despite the limited annotated training data, the proposed method achieved impressive results: an accuracy of 95.4%, precision of 97.1%, recall of 96.1%, false-negative rate of 3.9%, false-positive rate of 6.1%, and a F1 score of 96.6%, outperforming existing approaches in pulp stone detection.Conclusions: Unlike current studies, this approach adopted a more realistic scenario by utilizing a small dataset with few annotated samples, acknowledging the time-consuming and error-prone nature of expert labeling. The proposed system is particularly beneficial for dental students and newly graduated dentists who lack sufficient clinical experience, as it aids in the automatic detection of pulpal calcifications.

The thorough search aimed to ensure the inclusion of all relevant studies on dental imaging with fractal dimension (FD) analysis for TMDs.

These studies comprised 7 retrospective and 8 prospective nonrandomized clinical studies. Various imaging modalities were used including panoramic, CT, CBCT, and MRI. Most studies reported significantly lower FD values in TMD patients than in controls suggesting FD analysis' potential for detecting early TMJ degenerative changes.
