abstract = {With the exponential growth of computational systems and increased patient data acquisition, dental research faces new challenges to manage a large quantity of information. For this reason, data science approaches are needed for the integrative diagnosis of multifactorial diseases, such as Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) Osteoarthritis (OA). The Data science spectrum includes data capture/acquisition, data processing with optimized web-based storage and management, data analytics involving in-depth statistical analysis, machine learning (ML) approaches, and data communication. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in this process. It consists of developing computational systems that can perform human intelligence tasks, such as disease diagnosis, using many features to help in the decision-making support. Patient's clinical parameters, imaging exams, and molecular data are used as the input in cross-validation tasks, and human annotation/diagnosis is also used as the gold standard to train computational learning models and automatic disease classifiers. This paper aims to review and describe AI and ML techniques to diagnose TMJ OA and data science approaches for imaging processing. We used a web-based system for multi-center data communication, algorithms integration, statistics deployment, and process the computational machine learning models. We successfully show AI and data-science applications using patients' data to improve the TMJ OA diagnosis decision-making towards personalized medicine.},

abstract = {Temporomandibular joints (TMJ) like a hinge connect the jawbone to the skull. TMJ disorders could cause pain in the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. However, the disease cannot be diagnosed until it becomes symptomatic. It has been shown that bone resorption at the condyle articular surface is already evident at initial diagnosis of TMJ Osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore, analyzing the bone structure will facilitate the disease diagnosis. The important step towards this analysis is the condyle segmentation. This article deals with a method to automatically segment the temporomandibular joint condyle out of cone beam CT (CBCT) scans. In the proposed method we denoise images and apply 3D active contour and morphological operations to segment the condyle. The experimental results show that the proposed method yields the Dice score of 0.9461 with the standards deviation of 0.0888 when it is applied on CBCT images of 95 patients. This segmentation will allow large datasets to be analyzed more efficiently towards data sciences and machine learning approaches for disease classification.},

abstract = {An anterior open bite is a challenge to orthodontic treatment; it has a multifactorial etiology and a wide range ofintervention options. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a risk factor for the development of malocclu-sions such as the anterior open bite, especially in patients who have TMJ osteoarthritis with disc displacement.Articular disc repositioning surgery is an available option for treating this pathology, and it contributes to main-taining the condyles in a more stable position. The aim of this article was to report the case of a 20-year-oldwoman diagnosed with anterior open bite and TMJ osteoarthritis with bilateral disc displacement. The patientreceived both orthodontic treatment and TMJ disc repositioning surgery. Cone-beam computed tomographywas used to create 3-dimensional models of the condyles with regional superposition, and assessment ofbone remodeling was performed at different time intervals. Complete orthodontic and surgical treatment timewas approximately 12 months. The results provided a stable correction of the patient's anterior open bite witha 2-year follow-up and favorable bone remodeling of the condyles due to functional improvement of the TMJ.(Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2017;152:848-58)},

Material and Methods: Sixty-nine orthodontists rated malocclusion severity on a five-point scale by assessing a full set of pre-treatment records for each case and listed reasons for their decision. Their judgement was then compared with ABO-DI and PAR scores determined by three calibrated examiners.
Results: Excellent interexaminer reliability of clinician judgement, ABO-DI and PAR index was demonstrated by the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (rho= 0.995, 0.990 and 0.964, respectively). Both the ABO-DI and US-PAR index showed good correlation with clinician judgement (r=.700 and r=.707, respectively). There was variability among the different Angle classifications: the ABO-DI showed the highest correlation with clinician judgement in Class II patients (r=.780), whereas the US-PAR index showed the highest correlation with clinician judgement in Class III patients (r=.710). Both indices demonstrated the lowest correlations with clinician judgement in Class I patients.
Conclusion: With strong interexaminer agreement, the panel consensus was used for validating the ABO-DI and US-PAR index for malocclusion severity. Overall, the ABO-DI
and US-PAR index were reliable for measuring malocclusion severity with significantly variable weightings for different Angle classifications. Further modification of the indices for different Angle classification may be indicated.},

Methods: Sixty-nine Chinese orthodontists assessed a full set of pre-treatment records from a stratified random sample of 120 subjects gathered from six university orthodontic centres. Using professional judgment as the outcome variable, multiple regression analyses were performed to derive customized weighting systems for the PAR index and DI, for all subjects and each Angle classification subgroup.
Results: Professional judgment was consistent, with an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of0.995. The PAR index or DI can be reliably measured, with ICC = 0.959 and 0.990, respectively. The predictive accuracy of PAR index was greatly improved by the Chinese weighting process (from r = 0.431 to r = 0.788) with almost equal distribution in each Angle classification subgroup. The Chinese-weighted DI showed a higher predictive accuracy, at P = 0.01, compared with the PAR index (r = 0.851 versus r = 0.788). A better performance was found in the Class II group (r = 0.890) when compared to Class I (r = 0.736) and III (r = 0.785) groups.
Conclusions: The Chinese-weighted PAR index and DI were capable of predicting 62 per cent and73 per cent of total variance in the professional judgment of malocclusion severity in Chinese patients. Differential prediction across Angle classifications merits attention since different weighting formulas were found.},

abstract = {In an effort to better understand the interrelationship of the growth and development pattern of the mandible and condyle, a sequential growth pattern of human mandibles in 38 embryos and 111 fetuses were examined by serial histological sections and soft X-ray views. The basic growth pattern of the mandibular body and condyle appeared in week 7 of fertilization. Histologically, the embryonal mandible originated from primary intramembranous ossification in the fibrous mesenchymal tissue around the Meckel cartilage. From this initial ossification, the ramifying trabecular bones developed forward, backward and upward, to form the symphysis, mandibular body, and coronoid process, respectively. We named this initial ossification site of embryonal mandible as the mandibular primary growth center (MdPGC). During week 8 of fertilization, the trabecular bone of the mandibular body grew rapidly to form muscular attachments to the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoid muscles. The mandible was then rapidly separated from the Meckel cartilage and formed a condyle blastema at the posterior end of linear mandibular trabeculae. The condyle blastema, attached to the upper part of pterygoid muscle, grew backward and upward and concurrent endochondral ossification resulted in the formation of the condyle. From week 14 of fertilization, the growth of conical structure of condyle became apparent on histological and radiological examinations. The mandibular body showed a conspicuous radiating trabecular growth pattern centered at the MdPGC, located around the apical area of deciduous first molar. The condyle growth showed characteristic conical structure and abundant hematopoietic tissue in the marrow. The growth of the proximal end of condyle was also approximated to the MdPGC on radiograms. Taken together, we hypothesized that the MdPGC has an important morphogenetic affect for the development of the human mandible, providing a growth center for the trabecular bone of mandibular body and also indicating the initial growth of endochondral ossification of the condyle.},

abstract = {With the exponential growth of computational systems and increased patient data acquisition, dental research faces new challenges to manage a large quantity of information. For this reason, data science approaches are needed for the integrative diagnosis of multifactorial diseases, such as Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) Osteoarthritis (OA). The Data science spectrum includes data capture/acquisition, data processing with optimized web-based storage and management, data analytics involving in-depth statistical analysis, machine learning (ML) approaches, and data communication. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in this process. It consists of developing computational systems that can perform human intelligence tasks, such as disease diagnosis, using many features to help in the decision-making support. Patient's clinical parameters, imaging exams, and molecular data are used as the input in cross-validation tasks, and human annotation/diagnosis is also used as the gold standard to train computational learning models and automatic disease classifiers. This paper aims to review and describe AI and ML techniques to diagnose TMJ OA and data science approaches for imaging processing. We used a web-based system for multi-center data communication, algorithms integration, statistics deployment, and process the computational machine learning models. We successfully show AI and data-science applications using patients' data to improve the TMJ OA diagnosis decision-making towards personalized medicine.},

abstract = {Temporomandibular joints (TMJ) like a hinge connect the jawbone to the skull. TMJ disorders could cause pain in the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. However, the disease cannot be diagnosed until it becomes symptomatic. It has been shown that bone resorption at the condyle articular surface is already evident at initial diagnosis of TMJ Osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore, analyzing the bone structure will facilitate the disease diagnosis. The important step towards this analysis is the condyle segmentation. This article deals with a method to automatically segment the temporomandibular joint condyle out of cone beam CT (CBCT) scans. In the proposed method we denoise images and apply 3D active contour and morphological operations to segment the condyle. The experimental results show that the proposed method yields the Dice score of 0.9461 with the standards deviation of 0.0888 when it is applied on CBCT images of 95 patients. This segmentation will allow large datasets to be analyzed more efficiently towards data sciences and machine learning approaches for disease classification.},

abstract = {An anterior open bite is a challenge to orthodontic treatment; it has a multifactorial etiology and a wide range ofintervention options. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a risk factor for the development of malocclu-sions such as the anterior open bite, especially in patients who have TMJ osteoarthritis with disc displacement.Articular disc repositioning surgery is an available option for treating this pathology, and it contributes to main-taining the condyles in a more stable position. The aim of this article was to report the case of a 20-year-oldwoman diagnosed with anterior open bite and TMJ osteoarthritis with bilateral disc displacement. The patientreceived both orthodontic treatment and TMJ disc repositioning surgery. Cone-beam computed tomographywas used to create 3-dimensional models of the condyles with regional superposition, and assessment ofbone remodeling was performed at different time intervals. Complete orthodontic and surgical treatment timewas approximately 12 months. The results provided a stable correction of the patient's anterior open bite witha 2-year follow-up and favorable bone remodeling of the condyles due to functional improvement of the TMJ.(Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2017;152:848-58)},

Methods: Sixty-nine Chinese orthodontists assessed a full set of pre-treatment records from a stratified random sample of 120 subjects gathered from six university orthodontic centres. Using professional judgment as the outcome variable, multiple regression analyses were performed to derive customized weighting systems for the PAR index and DI, for all subjects and each Angle classification subgroup.
Results: Professional judgment was consistent, with an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of0.995. The PAR index or DI can be reliably measured, with ICC = 0.959 and 0.990, respectively. The predictive accuracy of PAR index was greatly improved by the Chinese weighting process (from r = 0.431 to r = 0.788) with almost equal distribution in each Angle classification subgroup. The Chinese-weighted DI showed a higher predictive accuracy, at P = 0.01, compared with the PAR index (r = 0.851 versus r = 0.788). A better performance was found in the Class II group (r = 0.890) when compared to Class I (r = 0.736) and III (r = 0.785) groups.

abstract = {In an effort to better understand the interrelationship of the growth and development pattern of the mandible and condyle, a sequential growth pattern of human mandibles in 38 embryos and 111 fetuses were examined by serial histological sections and soft X-ray views. The basic growth pattern of the mandibular body and condyle appeared in week 7 of fertilization. Histologically, the embryonal mandible originated from primary intramembranous ossification in the fibrous mesenchymal tissue around the Meckel cartilage. From this initial ossification, the ramifying trabecular bones developed forward, backward and upward, to form the symphysis, mandibular body, and coronoid process, respectively. We named this initial ossification site of embryonal mandible as the mandibular primary growth center (MdPGC). During week 8 of fertilization, the trabecular bone of the mandibular body grew rapidly to form muscular attachments to the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoid muscles. The mandible was then rapidly separated from the Meckel cartilage and formed a condyle blastema at the posterior end of linear mandibular trabeculae. The condyle blastema, attached to the upper part of pterygoid muscle, grew backward and upward and concurrent endochondral ossification resulted in the formation of the condyle. From week 14 of fertilization, the growth of conical structure of condyle became apparent on histological and radiological examinations. The mandibular body showed a conspicuous radiating trabecular growth pattern centered at the MdPGC, located around the apical area of deciduous first molar. The condyle growth showed characteristic conical structure and abundant hematopoietic tissue in the marrow. The growth of the proximal end of condyle was also approximated to the MdPGC on radiograms. Taken together, we hypothesized that the MdPGC has an important morphogenetic affect for the development of the human mandible, providing a growth center for the trabecular bone of mandibular body and also indicating the initial growth of endochondral ossification of the condyle.},

For this reason, data science approaches are needed for the integrative diagnosis of multifactorial diseases, such as Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) Osteoarthritis (OA). The Data science spectrum includes data capture/acquisition, data processing with optimized web-based storage and management, data analytics involving in-depth statistical analysis, machine learning (ML) approaches, and data communication. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in this process. It consists of developing computational systems that can perform human intelligence tasks, such as disease diagnosis, using many features to help in the decision-making support. Patient's clinical parameters, imaging exams, and molecular data are used as the input in cross-validation tasks, and human annotation/diagnosis is also used as the gold standard to train computational learning models and automatic disease classifiers. This paper aims to review and describe AI and ML techniques to diagnose TMJ OA and data science approaches for imaging processing. We used a web-based system for multi-center data communication, algorithms integration, statistics deployment, and process the computational machine learning models. We successfully show AI and data-science applications using patients' data to improve the TMJ OA diagnosis decision-making towards personalized medicine. |

TMJ disorders could cause pain in the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. However, the disease cannot be diagnosed until it becomes symptomatic. It has been shown that bone resorption at the condyle articular surface is already evident at initial diagnosis of TMJ Osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore, analyzing the bone structure will facilitate the disease diagnosis. The important step towards this analysis is the condyle segmentation. This article deals with a method to automatically segment the temporomandibular joint condyle out of cone beam CT (CBCT) scans. In the proposed method we denoise images and apply 3D active contour and morphological operations to segment the condyle. The experimental results show that the proposed method yields the Dice score of 0.9461 with the standards deviation of 0.0888 when it is applied on CBCT images of 95 patients. This segmentation will allow large datasets to be analyzed more efficiently towards data sciences and machine learning approaches for disease classification. |

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a risk factor for the development of malocclu-sions such as the anterior open bite, especially in patients who have TMJ osteoarthritis with disc displacement.Articular disc repositioning surgery is an available option for treating this pathology, and it contributes to main-taining the condyles in a more stable position. The aim of this article was to report the case of a 20-year-oldwoman diagnosed with anterior open bite and TMJ osteoarthritis with bilateral disc displacement. The patientreceived both orthodontic treatment and TMJ disc repositioning surgery. Cone-beam computed tomographywas used to create 3-dimensional models of the condyles with regional superposition, and assessment ofbone remodeling was performed at different time intervals. Complete orthodontic and surgical treatment timewas approximately 12 months. The results provided a stable correction of the patient's anterior open bite witha 2-year follow-up and favorable bone remodeling of the condyles due to functional improvement of the TMJ.(Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2017;152:848-58) |

Material and Methods: Sixty-nine orthodontists rated malocclusion severity on a five-point scale by assessing a full set of pre-treatment records for each case and listed reasons for their decision. Their judgement was then compared with ABO-DI and PAR scores determined by three calibrated examiners. Results: Excellent interexaminer reliability of clinician judgement, ABO-DI and PAR index was demonstrated by the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (rho= 0.995, 0.990 and 0.964, respectively). Both the ABO-DI and US-PAR index showed good correlation with clinician judgement (r=.700 and r=.707, respectively). There was variability among the different Angle classifications: the ABO-DI showed the highest correlation with clinician judgement in Class II patients (r=.780), whereas the US-PAR index showed the highest correlation with clinician judgement in Class III patients (r=.710). Both indices demonstrated the lowest correlations with clinician judgement in Class I patients. Conclusion: With strong interexaminer agreement, the panel consensus was used for validating the ABO-DI and US-PAR index for malocclusion severity. Overall, the ABO-DI and US-PAR index were reliable for measuring malocclusion severity with significantly variable weightings for different Angle classifications. Further modification of the indices for different Angle classification may be indicated. |

Methods: Sixty-nine Chinese orthodontists assessed a full set of pre-treatment records from a stratified random sample of 120 subjects gathered from six university orthodontic centres. Using professional judgment as the outcome variable, multiple regression analyses were performed to derive customized weighting systems for the PAR index and DI, for all subjects and each Angle classification subgroup. Results: Professional judgment was consistent, with an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of0.995. The PAR index or DI can be reliably measured, with ICC = 0.959 and 0.990, respectively. The predictive accuracy of PAR index was greatly improved by the Chinese weighting process (from r = 0.431 to r = 0.788) with almost equal distribution in each Angle classification subgroup. The Chinese-weighted DI showed a higher predictive accuracy, at P = 0.01, compared with the PAR index (r = 0.851 versus r = 0.788). A better performance was found in the Class II group (r = 0.890) when compared to Class I (r = 0.736) and III (r = 0.785) groups. Conclusions: The Chinese-weighted PAR index and DI were capable of predicting 62 per cent and73 per cent of total variance in the professional judgment of malocclusion severity in Chinese patients. Differential prediction across Angle classifications merits attention since different weighting formulas were found. |
