Individual participant data in meta-analysis
Meta-analysis is usually performed using aggregate data. Aggregate data refer to the summary of individual participant data (IPD) on the investigated outcomes and related characteristics obtained from the trial reports….
Fully automatic segmentation of sinonasal cavity and pharyngeal airway based on convolutional neural networks
Introduction This study aimed to test the accuracy of a new automatic deep learning–based approach on the basis of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for fully automatic segmentation of the sinonasal…
Surgically assisted orthodontic alignment of impacted maxillary canines: A retrospective analysis of functional and esthetic outcomes and risk factors for failure
Introduction The initial position of an impacted maxillary canine might influence the outcome of surgically assisted exposure and orthodontic alignment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate existing…
Correlation between cephalometric nasal changes and patients’ perception after orthognathic surgery
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between cephalometric measurements and patients’ perception of nasal changes in those with Class III malocclusion who had undergone orthognathic…
Association between incisor positions and amount of interdental stripping in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment
Introduction The study aimed to investigate the effect of a nonextraction treatment approach with interdental stripping (IDS) on the dentofacial structures in patients with dental and skeletal Class I, II,…
