Teeth

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Researchers may exaggerate machine learning (ML) model value in dentistry through spin or hacking. This study found prevalent spin and some evidence of hacking, recommending TRIAL principles for transparent ML research.

Area of Science:

Biostatistics
Dental Research
Machine Learning

Background:

Machine learning (ML) and prediction models are increasingly popular in dentistry.
Concerns exist regarding misleading reporting (spin) and statistical manipulation (hacking) in ML studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the prevalence of spin and potential hacking in ML-based prediction model studies within dentistry.
To identify common spin practices and facilitators in dental ML research.

Main Methods:

A systematic search identified eligible studies up to October 12, 2024.
1206 Area Under the Curve (AUC) values were analyzed for potential hacking.
209 studies were evaluated for spin using the SPIN-PM framework.

Main Results:

Evidence of potential AUC-hacking was suggested by fluctuations near common thresholds.
Spin practices were identified in 37.3% of studies, often involving optimistic language or unsubstantiated clinical applicability claims.
Facilitators of spin, such as reporting performance measures without confidence intervals, were present in 39.2% of studies.

Conclusions:

Spin and its facilitators are common in dental ML prediction model studies.
Some evidence of hacking was detected.
Adoption of TRIAL (Transparency, Reporting, Integrity, Adjustment, and Learning) principles is recommended to enhance research integrity.
