Anxiety is common preceding tooth extraction; hence, it is crucial to identify patients with dental anxiety (DA) and to manage DA. This study assessed the level of DA and influencing factors in tooth ...
The study was a cohort study. The Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) was used to assess the level of DA of 120 patients before tooth extraction. A Demographics and Oral Health Self-Assessment Form was used to...
Based on the DAS score, 12.5% of the participants were identified as suffering from DA. DA was related to age, gender, and the self-assessment of oral health. The DAS score was correlated with increas...
The prevalence of DA in adults was 12.5% in this study population. DA was related to gender, age, and the self-assessment of oral health. The score of DAS was correlated with BP. Compare to local anes...
The study examined treatment codes of extracted teeth and aimed to assess degree of difficulty concerning all tooth extractions....
Retrospective data on treatment codes of all tooth extractions during a two-year period were obtained from the patient register in primary oral healthcare of the City of Helsinki, Finland. Prevalence,...
Total number of extraction procedures was 97,276, including 121,342 extracted teeth. The most frequent procedure was a routine extraction of a tooth with forceps (55%, n = 53,642). The main reason for...
Two-thirds of all tooth extractions in primary care were relatively simple. However, 29% of procedures were classified as demanding....
As earlier methods for assessing level of difficulty were aimed at third molars alone, an analysis was presented for all tooth extractions. This approach may be useful for research purposes, and the p...
Hemostatic agents are used to control bleeding after tooth extraction and have been compared with conventional measures (that is, sutures or gauze pressure) in several studies. The objective of this s...
The authors conducted a literature search in MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, including prospective human randomized clinical trials in which researche...
Seventeen articles were eligible for inclusion. Hemostatic agents resulted in a significantly shorter time to achieve hemostasis in both healthy patients and patients taking antithrombotic drugs (stan...
The use of hemostatic agents seemed to offer better bleeding control after tooth extractions in patients on antithrombotic drugs than conventional measures....
Findings of this systematic review may help clinicians attain more efficient hemostasis in patients requiring tooth extraction. This systematic review is registered in the PROSPERO database. The regis...
Oroantral communication (OAC) is a relatively common and mild complication of maxillary tooth extractions. Preoperative prediction of OAC can reduce treatment duration and prepare both operators and p...
In this retrospective case-control study the OAC group consisting of 97 cases and a control group twice the size was established. Clinical data were collected, and measurements were conducted separate...
Inter-rater reliability was found to be excellent. Several factors were identified as potential predictors of OAC. According to our model, the strongest predictors were the distance between the cement...
Well-defined measurements on panoramic radiographs may aid in predicting OAC. Further prospective investigations are necessary to confirm these indicators and address factors related to clinical exami...
We present several clinical and radiographic warning signs of OAC that can facilitate pre-extraction decision-making....
We aimed to determine the feasibility of utilizing deep learning-based predictions of the indications for cracked tooth extraction using panoramic radiography....
Panoramic radiographs of 418 teeth (group 1: 209 normal teeth; group 2: 209 cracked teeth) were evaluated for the training and testing of a deep learning model. We evaluated the performance of the cra...
To evaluate the feasibility, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and F1 score of the deep learning models were calculated, with values of 90.43-94.26%, 52.63-60.77%, 72.01-75.84%, and 76.36-79.00%...
We found that the indications for cracked tooth extraction can be predicted to a certain extent through a deep learning model using panoramic radiography....
To identify clinical and local radiographic predictors for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) by the assessment of pre-operative CBCT images of oncologic patients treated with anti-r...
This retrospective, longitudinal, case-control study included clinical and imaging data of 97 patients, divided into study and control group. Patients in the study group (...
From the study group, 15 patients (32%) and 33 sites (38%) developed MRONJ after tooth extraction. When controls were compared to study sites, the latter showed significantly more thickening of the la...
Periosteal reaction and sequestrum formation are suspected to be pre-clinical MRONJ lesions. Furthermore, ARD induced bony changes and radiographic variations between ARD types were seen....
Clinical observation conducted during the 3rd and 4th years of dental school is an important part of dental students' clinical education. However, conventional clinical observation is associated with ...
We recruited third- and fourth-year dental students and divided them into a VR clinical observation group (VR group) and a conventional clinical observation group (control group). The control group vi...
Understanding of the procedure and satisfaction with the observation were significantly higher in the VR group than in the control group (p = 0.001 and p = 0.047, respectively). Compared with conventi...
VR clinical observation using 360° videos might be an effective teaching method for students. However, to allow interaction between professors and students during clinical observations, using it along...
Tooth extraction is one of the most frequently performed medical procedures. The indication is based on the combination of clinical and radiological examination and individual patient parameters and s...
Using 26,956 single teeth images from 1,184 panoramic radiographs (PANs), we trained a ResNet50 network to classify teeth as either extraction-worthy or preservable. For this purpose, teeth were cropp...
The ROC-AUC for the best AI model to discriminate teeth worthy of preservation was 0.901 with 2% margin on dental images. In contrast, the average ROC-AUC for dentists was only 0.797. With a 19.1% too...
AI models outperform dentists/specialists in predicting tooth extraction based solely on X-ray images, while the AI performance improves with increasing contextual information....
AI could help monitor at-risk teeth and reduce errors in indications for extractions....
The study aimed to examine the authenticity of the often-mentioned statement that the third molar is the most frequently extracted tooth. This finding has not been shown previously in a large populati...
Data comprised a nationally representative sample of 6082 panoramic radiographs taken from adults in the cross-sectional Health 2000 Survey. From the radiographs, all missing teeth were recorded. Info...
Mean age of participants (46% men, 54% women) was 53 years (SD 14.6; range 30‒97 years). Missing teeth occurred more often in women than in men (P < 0.001). The third molar was most frequently missing...
When considering the rates of congenital agenesis of individual teeth, it is concluded that the third molar remained the most common tooth extracted up till the age of 80 years....
The third molar is the most common target for extraction, but also the most common tooth associated with malpractice claims, and therefore, calls for skills, adequate equipment, and other resources fo...
Controlling the 3D movement of central incisors during tooth extraction cases with clear aligners is important but challenging in invisible orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to explore the biome...
A series of Finite Element models was constructed to simulate anterior teeth retraction or no retraction with different power ridge designs. These models all consisted of maxillary dentition with extr...
For the model of anterior teeth retraction without power ridge and for the model of anterior teeth no retraction with a single power ridge, the central incisors exhibited crown lingual inclination and...
The central incisors are prone to losing torque and extruding in tooth extraction cases. Double power ridges have a certain root torque effect when there are no auxiliary designs, but they still canno...
