    Abstract Human identification is considered as an important step in the reconstruction of biological profiles, especially of unknown individuals. Frontal sinuses (FS) have been regarded as an ideal anatomical structure for individualisation because few pathological conditions can potentially alter their shape.
    Aim: The aim of this review was to evaluate scientific evidence published since January 2010 and determine whether the dimensions and volume of FS might be useful parameters for gender determination and human identification, based only on cone beam computed tomography images (CBCT).
    Methods: This review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Four databases were searched for articles published between January 2010 and June 2022.
    Results: A total of 195 records were initially identified, and 90 remained after a manual duplicate check. Eight articles were selected for a full review according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria after title and abstract screening. A total of 718 participants (359 males and 359 females) were identified from the included studies. Frontal sinus volume (FSV) was significantly higher in male individuals. Frontal sinus height (FSH) and volume were the superior discriminating parameters for forensic identification.
    Conclusions: This review demonstrates that assessment of FS based on CBCT images could be beneficial for gender identification in forensic science. According to the obtained studies, frontal sinus volume (FSV) and frontal sinus height (FSH) are significant greater in males than in females, providing an additional complementary method. Larger sample size and common measurement protocols are needed to verify their usefulness.

    Abstract Gender determination is an essential element for human identification in forensic medicine, to which the maxillary sinuses may contribute as they remain intact even after severe damage to the skull and other structures.
    Aim: To evaluate scientific evidence published over the last decade to determine whether maxillary sinus dimensions and volume may constitute useful parameters for forensic identification and gender determination, based only on cone-beam computed tomography images (CBCT).
    Methods: This review adhered to the PRISMA statement's criteria. Four databases were searched for articles published between January 2010 and April 2023.
    Results: Initially, 1719 records were identified. After screening, there were 2475 participants in the included studies. Of the fifteen articles selected, five reported data assessing only volumetric measurements of the maxillary sinus, seven reported data calculating only linear measurements and three reported data by combining findings of both linear and volumetric measurements of the maxillary sinus. Maxillary sinus volume was significantly higher in male participants. Maxillary sinus height was the best discriminating parameter for forensic identification with an overall accuracy ranging from 70% to 80%.
    Conclusions: Maxillary sinus measurements revealed anatomic variability between genders, and this approach can be applied as a complementary method for human identification.

    Abstract The purpose of this article is to define and implement a methodology for the 3D design of customized patient-specific scaffolds (bone grafts) for the regeneration of periodontal tissues. The prerequisite of the proposed workflow is the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the periodontal defect, i.e., the 3D model of the hard tissues (alveolar bone and teeth) around the periodontal damage, which is proposed to be generated via a segmentation and 3D editing methodology using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data. Two types of methodologies for 3D periodontal scaffold (graft) design are described: (i) The methodology of designing periodontal defect customized block grafts and (ii) the methodology of designing extraction socket preservation customized grafts. The application of the proposed methodology for the generation of a 3D model of the hard tissues around periodontal defects of a patient using a CBCT scan and the 3D design of the two aforementioned types of scaffolds for personalized periodontal regenerative treatment shows promising results. The outputs of this work will be used as the basis for the 3D printing of bioabsorbable scaffolds of personalized treatment against periodontitis, which will simultaneously be used as sustained-release drug carriers.

    Abstract Purpose: Dental radiography represents 13% of all radiological diagnostic imaging. Eliminating the need for manual classification of digital intraoral radiographs could be especially impactful in terms of time savings and metadata quality. However, automating the task can be challenging due to the limited variation and possible overlap of the depicted anatomy. This study attempted to use neural networks to automate the classification of anatomical regions in intraoral radiographs among 22 unique anatomical classes.
    Methods: Thirty-six literature-based neural network models were systematically developed and trained with full supervision and three different data augmentation strategies. Only libre software and limited computational resources were utilized. The training and validation datasets consisted of 15,254 intraoral periapical and bite-wing radiographs, previously obtained for diagnostic purposes. All models were then comparatively evaluated on a separate dataset as regards their classification performance. Top-1 accuracy, area-under-the-curve and F1-score were used as performance metrics. Pairwise comparisons were performed among all models with Mc Nemar's test.
    Results: Cochran's Q test indicated a statistically significant difference in classification performance across all models (p < 0.001). Post hoc analysis showed that while most models performed adequately on the task, advanced architectures used in deep learning such as VGG16, MobilenetV2 and InceptionResnetV2 were more robust to image distortions than those in the baseline group (MLPs, 3-block convolutional models). Advanced models exhibited classification accuracy ranging from 81 to 89%, F1-score between 0.71 and 0.86 and AUC of 0.86 to 0.94.
    Conclusions: According to our findings, automated classification of anatomical classes in digital intraoral radiographs is feasible with an expected top-1 classification accuracy of almost 90%, even for images with significant distortions or overlapping anatomy. Model architecture, data augmentation strategies, the use of pooling and normalization layers as well as model capacity were identified as the factors most contributing to classification performance.

    Abstract Background: The utilization of regenerative techniques in periodontology involves tailoring tissue engineering principles to suit the oral cavity's unique environment. Advancements in computer-assisted technology, specifically utilizing cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), enabled the fabrication of 3D-printed scaffolds. The current review aims to explore whether 3D-printed scaffolds are effective in promoting osteogenesis in patients with periodontal defects.
    Methods: A thorough exploration was undertaken across seven electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Cochrane, Web of Science, Ovid) to detect pertinent research in accordance with specified eligibility criteria, aligning with the PRISMA guidelines. Two independent reviewers undertook the screening and selection of manuscripts, executed data extraction, and evaluated the bias risk using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for non-randomized clinical trials and SYRCLE's risk of bias tool for animal studies.
    Results: Initially, 799 articles were identified, refined by removing duplicates. After evaluating 471 articles based on title and abstract, 18 studies remained for full-text assessment. Eventually, merely two manuscripts fulfilled all the eligibility criteria concerning human trials. Both studies were prospective non-randomized clinical trials. Moreover, 11 animal studies were also included.
    Conclusions: The use of multidimensional, 3D-printed, customized scaffolds appears to stimulate periodontal regeneration. While the reported results are encouraging, additional studies are required to identify the ideal characteristics of the 3D scaffold to be used in the regeneration of periodontal tissue.

    Abstract The introduction of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in orthodontics has added a new tool to diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim of this prospective clinical trial was to investigate the changes in the dimensions of the naso-maxillary complex in growing patients after RPE using CBCT. A total of 16 growing children (8 females, 6 males) with a mean age of 11, 12 ± 1 and 86 years underwent RPE as part of their comprehensive orthodontic treatment. CBCT scans were obtained before RPE (T1), immediately after RPE (T2) and 6 months after RPE (T3). The dimensions of the nasal width, nasal floor and the aperture of the midpalatal suture were calculated in different coronal slices of CBCT. Evaluation of the mean value variance per measurement at the three time intervals were performed using the paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Differences between the three time intervals were assessed by performing Multiple Pairwise Comparisons. A statistically significant increase in all measurements was seen immediately after RPE expansion (T2-T1) and six months after expansion (T3-T1). Between the end of expansion and 6 months in retention (T3-T2), a decrease was observed for all measurements. RPE can cause expansion of the nasal cavity in growing patients. The expansion of the midpalatal suture follows a triangular pattern of opening.

    Abstract This study aimed to assess and analyze the morphology and dimensions of the nasopalatine canal (NPC), as well as the adjacent buccal osseous plate (BOP), and to investigate the effect of gender, edentulism, NPC types, absence of maxillary central incisors (ACI) and age on the NPC and BOP, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). A total of 124 CBCT examinations (67 female and 57 male patients) were retrospectively included and evaluated. The assessment of the dimensions of the NPC, as well as the dimensions of the adjacent BOP, was performed by three Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologists on reconstructed sagittal and coronal CBCT sections under standardized conditions. Regarding the dimensions of the NPC and the adjacent BOP, the mean values were significantly higher among males than females. Furthermore, edentulous patients showed a significant reduction in BOP dimensions. Additionally, NPC types showed a significant effect on the length of the NPC, and the ACI had a significant effect on reducing BOP dimensions. Age had a significant effect on the diameter of the incisive foramen, with the mean values generally increasing with an increasing age. CBCT imaging of this anatomical structure contributes significantly to its full assessment.

    Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) may arise in the the alveolar ridge (in a minority of cases). Smoking, chronic mucosal injuries, and poor oral hygiene are involved in its pathogenesis. It mostly occurs to men instead of women and affects the mandible on a 3:2 ratio to the maxilla. The objective of the current study is to present an interesting case of an OSCC of the alveolar ridge mimicking jaw osteonecrosis due to denosumab, resulting in differential diagnostic dilemmas. A 78-year-old female patient, edentulous and bearing total dentures, was referred with a persistent (four months), severely painful, ulcerative lesion in the anterior lateral (right) region of the residual alveolar ridge of the mandible. Medical history referred to a long-term systemic steroid use due to sarcoidosis as well as the subcutaneous use of denosumab for osteoporosis one/month for one year. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) examination was performed where bone resorption was detected and a differential diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJs) from denosumab or neoplasia was made. A biopsy was carried out, and the histological examination showed that soft tissues and underlying bone were infiltrated by abnormal, confluent, compact islands of malignant squamous cells with intense atypia and numerous mitoses indicating a moderately differentiated OSCC. Denosumab inhibits the binding of receptor activator of nuclear factor ligand (RANKL) to receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa (RANK); this decreases bone resorption and results in increased bone density. However, denosumab may induce ONJ. The area of exposed bone and abnormal soft tissue alterations may resemble both benign and malignant diseases. Osteonecrosis may mimic OSCC or may even provide the suitable substrate for the development of OSCC. Biopsy as well as bone imaging examination are required to accurately determine the possibility of neoplastic formation and its boundaries in cases of osteonecrosis especially in patients under treatment with denosumab or bisphosphonate-related ONJ (BRONJ).

    Abstract The cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology is nowadays widely used in the field of dentistry and its use in the treatment of periodontal diseases has already been tackled in the international literature. At the same time, advanced segmentation methods have been introduced in state-of-the-art medical imaging software and well-established automated techniques for 3D mesh cleaning are available in 3D model editing software. However, except for the application of simple thresholding approaches for the purposes of 3D modeling of the oral cavity using CBCT data for dental applications, which does not yield accurate results, the research that has been conducted using more specialized semi-automated thresholding in dental CBCT images using existing software packages is limited. This article aims to fill the gap in the state-of-the-art research concerning the usage of CBCT data for 3D modeling of the hard tissues of the oral cavity of patients with periodontitis using existing software tools, for the needs of designing and printing 3D scaffolds for periodontal regeneration. In this context, segmentation and 3D modeling workflows using dental CBCT data that belong to a patient with periodontitis are evaluated, comparisons between the 3D models of the teeth and the alveolar bone generated through the experiments that yielded the most satisfactory results are made, and an optimal and efficient methodology for creating 3D models of teeth and alveolar bone, especially for being used as the basis for generating bioabsorbable 3D printed scaffolds of personalized treatment against periodontitis, is discussed.
