This paper details research exploring the use of machine learning models to improve the diagnosis of vertical root fractures (VRFs) in teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment. Researchers analyzed clinical data and bone loss characteristics from Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans of over 900 teeth. They compared linear and non-linear machine learning approaches, finding that nonlinear models, particularly XGBoost and LightGBM, demonstrated high accuracy and predictive power in identifying VRFs. The study highlights that factors like the shape and location of bone defects, tooth type, age, and the quality of root canal fillings are significant predictors of VRF.

Optimism Linked to Exceptional Longevity
This source presents research examining the association between optimism and longevity in two long-term studies of men and women. The study found that higher levels of optimism were linked to a longer average lifespan and an increased probability of living to age 85 or beyond, even after accounti...
