Periodontal diseases are the largest cause of tooth loss among people of all ages and are also correlated with systemic diseases such as endocarditis. Advanced periodontal disease comprises degradation of surrounding tooth structures, severe inflammation and gingival bleeding. Inflammation is an early indicator of periodontal disease. Early detection and preventive measures can help prevent serious...
Plasma is the fourth state of matter. For long time plasma has been used in several areas of science. Moreover, plasma in medicine has a huge area from wound healing to sterilization of medical equipment. One of the most promising applications of cold plasma is on wound healing. The aim of this study is to develop a portable atmospheric cold plasma device for infected wound management. This study...
Automated medical assistance system is in high demand with the advances in research in the machine learning area. In many such applications, availability of labeled medical dataset is a primary challenge and dataset of dental diseases is not an exception. An attempt towards accurate classification of dental diseases is addressed in this paper. Labeled dataset consisting of 251 Radio Visiography (RVG)...
It is well known that excessive drinking could result in human diseases (e.g., liver disease and cardiovascular disease). To investigate the underlying mechanisms of the effects of alcohol consumption, dental pulp stem cells have been used due to their self-renewal capability, multi-lineage differentiation, and clonogenic efficiency. Researchers usually focus on detecting genes having different mean...
The risk factors analysis in medicine is a very complex problem, with significant practical implications in taking the right decisions in the health policies field. A useful approach is the study of interaction between risk factors through additive and multiplicative schemes, required when the identified risk factors are not independent in causing a certain outcome. Several models were developed to...
Dental caries and dental disease are one of the prevalent chronic diseases of people around the world in general and in Vietnam in particular. The detection of carious lesions has been primarily a visual process, based principally on clinical-tactile inspection, and radiographic examination. However, a major shortcoming of clinical-tactile inspection is very limited for detecting dental caries in...
Subjective evaluation of the abnormalities in dental images faces a few challenges such as low contrast. The problem arises due to the fix regulation of small X-ray dosage. Thus there are applications of image enhancement on the dental images and it is an acceptable technique to improve image quality and better diagnosis. Low contrast images could hinder the subjective evaluation and contribute to...
We present a system for estimating the dental plaque adhesion area using a commercial camera image for oral healthcare via management of the intraoral environment. In recent years, several studies have reported on the relationship between a general disease and a periodontal disease. Such studies mention that normalization of the intraoral environment by tooth brushing is the most important treatment...
The use of information technology and telecommunications in the field of health, and specifically in the detection and control of diseases, is increasing each day around the world. Telemedicine has been rising as a technological innovation in the past years, due to it allows remote care for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases that benefit populations in rural areas. This article aims to show the...
Due to several urgent applications such as plasma medicine, atmospheric-pressure nonequilibrium plasma jets (APNP-Js) have attracted lots of attention in the past two decades. Researchers found that APNP-Js could be used in various applications of dentistry. In this paper, first, a brief review on APNP-Js is presented. Second, the details about the application of the APNP-Js in the oral cavity, one...
Functional tissue regeneration after brain injury requires cell replacement for dead neurons and rebuilding neural networks. Since brain injury is not recovered spontaneously in general, breakthrough technologies have been awaited for neural replacement. To develop new techniques for neural replacement, our research team has examined the proliferation potency of neurons by biological approach and...
Recently, many possible roles of non-thermal plasma (NTP) has been reported, representing the plasma as a novel tool in the field of dermatology. Unlike other light-based devices, multi-functional elements within the plasma including UVs, ions, reactive oxygen species drives many biological effect of the plasma, such as blood coagulation stimulation, anti-cancer activity and powerful killing effect...
This study was conducted to analyze the impact of fluoride in the anthropogenic condition in an industrial region promoting and affecting the health of the workers. Fluoride is toxic to humans in high concentrations, such as can occur in persons working in fluoride-containing mineral industries like aluminum industries. When workers are exposed to fluoride-containing minerals, they can suffer from...
We use Human Microbiome Project (HMP) cohort [1] to infer personalized oral microbial networks of healthy individuals. To determine clustering of individuals with similar microbial profiles, co-regularized spectral clustering algorithm is applied to the dataset. For each cluster we discovered, we compute co-occurrence relationships among the microbial species that determine microbial network per cluster...
Literature has repeatedly stressed the importance of the association between the oral health and general health of an individual and for the respective healthcare practitioners to work collaboratively. However, the absence of a knowledge base of the scientific evidence of associations between the two domains of medical and oral health has contributed to the problem of fragmented healthcare delivery...
Dental caries and periodontal disease are common oral diseases worldwide, and 60–90% of school children and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities. The world health organization has put the incidence of periodontal disease as the tumor, cardiovascular morbidity after the third. Actually, those two diseases are caused by bacteria (facultative anaerobes and obligate anaerobes). Chemical drug (such...
This paper is dedicated to the construction of information-mathematical model for medical diagnostics based on the classification task using reusable knowledge components as well as the development of reusable knowledge components for medical diagnostics. Applying them there was developed a series of KSs for the problem of dental alloy intolerance in the domain of orthopedic dentistry. One of the...
Department of Applied Science and Technology and Center for Microplasma Science and Technology, Saint Peter's College, New Jersey, USA, 07306 In dental clinics, caries is one of the highest incidence diseases in human, and Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the most contributing cariogenic bacteria in oral environment. The primary step in the occurrence of dental caries is the colonization of S....
In this paper, we described the intelligent toothbrush system which is capable of monitoring three-dimensional brushing motion of toothbrush and analyzing brushing regions based on sensor signals measured from built-in accelerometer and magnetic sensors. In order to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed toothbrush system, we performed two experiments. First, all subjects are asked to brush their teeth...
We present an automated method of spatially detailed 3D asymmetry quantification of face surfaces obtained in a stereophotogrammetric system, and the method was applied to a population of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who have involvement of one temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Non-rigid registration of a patient face surface to a mirrored version of the same face surface provided...
