Enhanced diagnostic pipeline for maxillary sinus-maxillary molars relationships: a novel implementation of Detectron2 with faster R-CNN R50 FPN 3x on CBCT images.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe anatomical relationship between the maxillary sinus and maxillary molars is critical for planning dental procedures such as tooth extraction, implant placement and periodontal surgery.
methodsThis study presents a novel artificial intelligence-based approach for the detection and classification of these anatomical relationships in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. The model, developed using advanced image recognition technology, can automatically detect the relationship between the maxillary sinus and adjacent molars with high accuracy.
resultsThe artificial intelligence algorithm used in our study provided faster and more consistent results compared to traditional manual evaluations, reaching 89% accuracy in the classification of anatomical structures.
conclusionsWith this technology, clinicians will be able to more accurately assess the risks of sinus perforation, oroantral fistula and other surgical complications in the maxillary posterior region preoperatively. By reducing the workload associated with CBCT analysis, the system accelerates clinicians' diagnostic process, improves treatment planning and increases patient safety. It also has the potential to assist in the early detection of maxillary sinus pathologies and the planning of sinus floor elevation procedures. These findings suggest that the integration of AI-powered image analysis solutions into daily dental practice can improve clinical decision-making in oral and maxillofacial surgery by providing accurate, efficient and reliable diagnostic support.
