Measurements of tooth crowns differed between males and females in a study of 166 cadavers. The researchers used crown size and shape to develop discriminants that could support sex estimation when only limited dental evidence is available.
Researchers assessed electronic dental record systems in 22 dental clinics in Tehran, Iran, using checklists based on several professional standards and health-information models. Of 219 data elements reviewed, 23 were present in every system and 55 were absent from all systems; the study did not measure patient outcomes or quality of care.
This systematic review and meta-analysis examined AI tools for detecting fractures in images from living human participants. Across selected studies, AI showed relatively high pooled accuracy on both radiographs and CT scans, but the estimates were based on small subsets of studies and had low certainty. The findings support further evaluation of AI as an assistive tool, not conclusions about all AI systems or clinical settings.
