Transfer Deep Learning for Dental and Maxillofacial Imaging Modality Classification: A Preliminary Study
Conclusions: In this study, good results have been obtained for the automatic classification of different modalities of X-ray images used in dentistry. The most promising direction for the development of this kind of application is the transfer deep learning. Further studies on automatic classification of modalities, as well as sub-modalities, can maximally reduce occasional difficulties arising in this field in the daily practice of the dentist and, eventually, improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment.

Dental Considerations in Patients with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome: A Review of the Literature and Case Report
Loeys-Dietz Syndrome (LDS) is a rare connective tissue disorder with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, linked to heterozygous mutations in six genes from the transforming growth factor beta receptor complex. The classical syndrome characteristics include aortic aneurisms with generalized arterial tortuosity, hypertelorism and cleft palate or bifid/broad uvula. LDS is also associated with a wide range of skeletal, craniofacial, cutaneous and ocular abnormalities, as well as allergic, atopic and inflammatory diseases. Common oral findings include high arched and/or narrow palate, enamel defects and class II skele...

Odontogenic Keratocyst in a 9-Month-Old Patient: A Case Report
Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC) is a benign, intraosseous, odontogenic cyst which originates from the basal cells of overlying epithelium or from the dental lamina remnants. Clinically, they are presented as asymptomatic swellings, although can sometimes be associated with pain. Growth of an OKC leads to expansion and destruction of bone as it infiltrates the tissue around it. It is commonly seen in males between the second and fourth decades of life. The aim of this study is to report on the clinicopathological characteristics of an odontogenic keratocyst in a 9-month-old female patient and posterior rehabilitation with a re...
