A Review of Aerosol Generation Mitigation in International Dental Guidance

Clare Robertson et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess how dental aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) were defined in international dental guidelines, what mitigation processes were advised, and whether they were linked to COVID-19 epidemiology.

Artificial intelligence in dental research: Checklist for authors, reviewers, readers

Falk Schwendicke et al.

Summary: The study highlights the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) studies in dentistry, with many facing limitations in planning, conduct, and reporting. A checklist was developed with input from experts in the field and agreed upon by 27 group members, focusing on various aspects of AI research in dentistry including study goals, design, data handling, and more. The checklist aims to improve the robustness, reproducibility, and applicability of AI studies in dentistry.

Deep learning for cephalometric landmark detection: systematic review and meta-analysis

Falk Schwendicke et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the accuracy of deep learning (DL) for cephalometric landmark detection on 2-D and 3-D radiographs. While DL showed relatively high accuracy for detecting landmarks, most studies had high risk of bias and applicability concerns, indicating the need for further research to demonstrate the robustness and generalizability of DL for this task.

The efficacy of an extraoral scavenging device on reducing aerosol particles ≤ 5 μm during dental aerosol-generating procedures: an exploratory pilot study in a university setting

Christian Graetz et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify small particle concentrations induced by aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) during student training. The use of an extraoral scavenger (EOS) device was found to reduce the number of smaller particles during high-speed tooth preparation, demonstrating the efficacy of high-flow suction with AGPs.
