This study aims to verify the effectiveness of a deep neural network (DNN) in automatically identifying pulp calcification on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images....
This study retrospectively analysed 150 CBCT images. Pulp calcification was identified and manually annotated by three endodontists with 10 years of experience. A DNN model based on the U-Net architec...
The model achieved a sensitivity of 75.91 ± 2.84% in automatically identifying pulp calcification, with a specificity of 68.88 ± 2.35%, an accuracy of 72.78 ± 2.13%, and an AUC of 73.68 ± 3.09%. Accor...
The results indicate that the proposed method shows promise for identifying pulp calcification on CBCT images. Future research aims to expand the dataset and refine the model, thereby enhancing its cl...
Registration was performed on the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ( https://www.chictr.org.cn/ ) (Registration number: ChiCTR2300077078, 27/10/2023) and National Medical Research Registry Information ...
A pulp stone is a calcified mass that develops in the dental pulp of any tooth. Despite many studies examining the relationship between pulp stone formation and non-oral factors, the methods used in t...
The study included 644 cone-beam computed tomography images, with 496 (50.9%) maxillary and 479 (49.1%) mandibular teeth. Of the investigated patients, 293 (45.5%) were men, and 351 (54.5%) were women...
Pulp stones in unerupted teeth were present in 24.2% of the examined dental jaws and 18.6% of the examined teeth. There was no statistically significant relationship between pulp stones and gender (p ...
The results support the idea that pulp stones can be present in any type of unerupted tooth. This study provides additional evidence of the increased incidence of pulp stones with age, systemic diseas...
Pulp stones are a type of pulp calcification, the presence of which tends to hinder endodontic treatment. Thus, this retrospective study aimed to analyze the distribution of pulp stones in the populat...
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 5066 teeth of 200 patients (91 males and 109 females) aged 16-45 years were evaluated. Pulp stones were marked as either present or absent when distinct r...
Pulp stones were detected in 49.0% of patients and 7.4% of teeth, respectively. The incidence in females was 1.9 times higher than in males (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.1-3.3, p = 0.001). Pulp stones were mo...
Nearly half of the population in southwest China had pulp stones. Pulp stones were found significantly more often in females, maxilla, and non-intact teeth, and their frequency increased with age. For...
This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, Southwest Medical University (certificate number: 20220818001)....
[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0288782.]....
The dental pulp is the inner part of the tooth responsible for properly functioning during its lifespan. Apart from the very big biological heterogeneity of dental cells, tooth microenvironments diffe...
The pathophysiology of calcified dental pulp is considered to be comparable to that of calcified atheroma in the artery. These calcified masses are small nodular which is seen more often in the corona...
The present challenge in dental pulp tissue engineering scaffold materials lies in the development of tissue-specific scaffolds that are conducive to an optimal regenerative microenvironment and capab...
Regeneration of sensory nerves is challenging in dental pulp regeneration. Schwann cells (SCs) are essential glial cells conducive to regenerating sensory nerve, but their source is scarce. The aim of...
To compare digital panoramic radiography (DPR) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the detection and classification of pulp calcifications in posterior teeth in relation to tooth condition and...
250 patients with simultaneous DPR and CBCT scans were selected from a dental image bank. For each posterior tooth, its condition was registered (healthy, restored, or decayed). The presence of calcif...
