Revolutionizing Dental Caries Diagnosis through Artificial Intelligence
The diagnosis and management of dental caries, a prevalent global oral health issue, have traditionally depended on clinical examination and the interpretation of radiographic images. However, with the rapid advancements in technology, the landscape of dental diagnostics is transforming. This chapter delves into the revolutionary impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on detecting and managing dental caries. Dental professionals can now achieve enhanced diagnostic accuracy by harnessing the power of machine learning algorithms and image recognition technologies, even identifying early-stage caries that conventional methods might overlook. The integration of AI into dentistry not only promises improved patient outcomes by facilitating timely interventions and streamlining clinical workflows, potentially redefining the future of oral healthcare. While the prospects are promising, it is imperative to concurrently address the challenges and ethical considerations accompanying AI-driven diagnostics to ensure that the technology augments, rather than supplants, the expertise of dental professionals. The chapter serves as a comprehensive overview of the current state of AI in dental caries diagnosis, its potential benefits, and the road ahead
Odontology & artificial intelligence
Neste trabalho avaliam-se os trĂȘs fatores que fizeram da inteligĂȘncia artificial uma tecnologia essencial hoje em dia, nomeadamente para a odontologia: o desempenho do computador, Big Data e avanços algorĂtmicos. Esta revisĂŁo da literatura avaliou todos os artigos publicados na PubMed atĂ© Abril de 2019 sobre inteligĂȘncia artificial e odontologia. Ajudado com inteligĂȘncia artificial, este artigo analisou 1511 artigos. Uma ĂĄrvore de decisĂŁo (If/Then) foi executada para selecionar os artigos mais relevantes (217), e um algoritmo de cluster k-means para resumir e identificar oportunidades de inovação. O autor discute os artigos mais interessantes revistos e compara o que foi feito em inovação durante o International Dentistry Show, 2019 em ColĂłnia. Concluiu, assim, de forma crĂtica que hĂĄ uma lacuna entre tecnologia e aplicação clĂnica desta, sendo que a inteligĂȘncia artificial fornecida pela indĂșstria de hoje pode ser considerada um atraso para o clĂnico de amanhĂŁ, indicando-se um possĂvel rumo para a aplicação clĂnica da inteligĂȘncia artificial.There are three factors that have made artificial intelligence (AI) an essential technology today: the computer performance, Big Data and algorithmic advances. This study reviews the literature on AI and Odontology based on articles retrieved from PubMed. With the help of AI, this article analyses a large number of articles (a total of 1511). A decision tree (If/Then) was run to select the 217 most relevant articles-. Ak-means cluster algorithm was then used to summarize and identify innovation opportunities. The author discusses the most interesting articles on AI research and compares them to the innovation presented during the International Dentistry Show 2019 in Cologne. Three technologies available now are evaluated and three suggested options are been developed. The author concludes that AI provided by the industry today is a hold-up for the praticioner of tomorrow. The author gives his opinion on how to use AI for the profit of patients
Using personal and academic development to reconcile research with learning and teaching in a model for scholarship in higher education
This thesis traces the contested scholarship between the three activity topics of learning
and teaching, research and academic and professional development. 11 published
articles and 7 others that have been prepared for publication were used as exemplar
articles for analysis. This included the history and context of the writing and the way in
which the three topics hold together and the patterns or relationships that can be seen
between them. Most of the articles aim to bring something new to the public arena and
challenge the current status quo in Higher Education. The Learning and Teaching
articles show active ways of developing learning and seeing things in a new light rather
than absorbing knowledge, constructing or working from educational theory. In particular
a curriculum is defined for all stakeholders. There is no necessity for teaching and
learning to be the same as research but on occasion it helps for it to be âresearch likeâ.
Research articles are on collaborative qualitative research and detailed reviews of
scientific research in my discipline. In my educational research articles I stand up to the
dominance of subject-based research. Development articles articulate the practice and facilitation of individual and group reflection methods. They also further the networking,
pan-organisation, pro-person approach of academic developers. The analysis produces
a dynamic model for Higher Education scholarship that opens up space for academic
development and the neglected area of professional and personal development. In
particular, some articles articulate and demonstrate the role of academic developers in
evaluating research. There is no evidence for the need of a single nexus to fulfil a
magical link specifically between learning and teaching and research because links
already exist within academic and professional development and through existing border
subjects of curriculum, reflection, professional ethics and evaluation.
I am grateful for the guidance I have received to create this analysis of my written work.
From this it is possible to position myself academically as a developer
Production Engineering and Management
The annual International Conference on Production Engineering and Management takes place for the sixth time his year, and can therefore be considered a well - established event that is the result of the joint effort of the OWL University of Applied Sciences and the University of Trieste. The conference has been established as an annual meeting under the Double Degree Master Program âProduction Engineering and Managementâ by the two partner universities.
The main goal of the conference is to provide an opportunity for students, researchers and professionals from Germany, Italy and abroad, to meet and exchange information, discuss experiences, specific practices and technical solutions used in planning, design and management of production and service systems. In addition, the conference is a platform aimed at presenting research projects, introducing young academics to the tradition of
Symposiums and promoting the exchange of ideas between the industry and the academy. Especially the contributions of successful graduates of the Double Degree Master Program âProduction Engineering and Managementâ and those of other postgraduate researchers from several European countries have been enforced.
This yearâs special focus is on Direct Digital Manufacturing in the context of Industry 4.0, a topic of great interest for the global industry. The concept is spreading, but the actual solutions must be presented in order to highlight
the practical benefits to industry and customers. Indeed, as Henning Banthien, Secretary General of the German
âPlattform Industrie 4.0â project office, has recently remarked, âIndustry 4.0 requires a close alliance amongst the private sector, academia, politics and trade unionsâ in order to be âtranslated into practice and be implemented nowâ.
PEM 2016 takes place between September 29 and 30, 2016 at the OWL University of Applied Sciences in Lemgo. The program is defined by the Organizing and Scientific Committees and clustered into scientific sessions
covering topics of main interest and importance to the participants of the conference. The scientific sessions deal
with technical and engineering issues, as well as management topics, and include contributions by researchers from academia and industry. The extended abstracts and full papers of the contributions underwent a double -
blind review process. The 24 accepted presentations are assigned, according to their subject, to one of the following sessions: âDirect Digital Manufacturing in the Context of Industry 4.0â, âIndustrial Engineering and Lean Managementâ, âManagement Techniques and Methodologiesâ, âWood Processing Technologies and Furniture Productionâ and âInnovation Techniques and Methodologies
Naturopathic Physiciansâ Attitudes, Knowledge, and Practices Regarding Xylitol in Clinical Practice
Abstract
Purpose: The intent of this study was to assess naturopathic physiciansâ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the use of xylitol clinical practice. Methods: This study utilized a convenience sample of naturopathic physicians (NPs) (N=325) through an online survey via SurveyMonkeyÂź. Results: The majority of NPs were knowledgeable of the medical and dental uses of xylitol (84%; n = 53 and 95%; n = 60, respectively). Ninety percent (n=57) viewed the current demand for naturopathic medicine as increasing. The medical literature was the highest ranked source of information on xylitol (45%; n = 28) with clinical practice guidelines being reported as the level of evidence required for adoption of xylitol. There is a significant correlation (p = 0.015) between NPs awareness of medical dental uses and having used xylitol as a preventive agent. There was also a significant correlation (p = 0.002) and relationship between strongly agreeing xylitol is useful in preventing dental caries and having used xylitol. Participants responded they would be highly likely to use xylitol, based on the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) guidelines, to prevent dental caries and having used it as a preventive agent. Conclusion: The majority of naturopathic physicians surveyed are aware of the use of xylitol in clinical practice as an evidence-based approach to preventing dental caries. Subsequently, approximately one-half of those surveyed utilize xylitol in clinical practice. Further investigation of opportunities for educational interventions and collaboration between naturopathic and dental professionals is of value considering the current trend toward complementary and alternative therapies
