Associations between periodontal disease (PD) and cancers risk have been described previously, but the evidence remains inconclusive. This study aimed to investigate the association between PD and specific cancers throug...

Introduction and aims: Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) play pivotal roles in the regeneration of pulp-dentin complex, yet their odontogenic differentiation is critically modulated by the inflammatory microenvironme...

Objective: Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a critical regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation, and inflammatory balance. However, its downstream proteomic effects in periodontal ligament stem cells (PDL...

Background: Accurate prediction of facial aesthetics after orthodontic treatment is crucial for clinical planning, yet traditional methodologies often lack the required accuracy and realism. We introduce a novel generati...

Introduction and aims: For decades, orthodontic diagnosis and treatment have primarily depended on physical models, imaging techniques, and three-dimensional (3D) imaging technologies. Nevertheless, single-modal data exh...

Introduction and aims: Understanding the trend and associated factors are essential for enhancing equitable access to care, particularly given persistent disparities in healthcare utilisation across different population ...

Objectives: By establishing a rat model of periapical infection, this study compared the anti‑inflammatory effects of caerin 1.1/1.9 hydrogel and calcium hydroxide paste, aiming to provide a novel therapeutic strategy ...

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The links between oral health and female ageing are poorly understood, but many changes occur in the oral cavity of menopausal women that affect quality of life, and few current oral health inter...

Background and Objectives: Given the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for dental health information, this study compared patients' perceived health information literacy for AI chatbots, measured using...

Introduction: Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) have transformed modern dentistry, yet evidence from the Caribbean remains limited. Objective: To assess CAD/CAM adoption among dentists in t...

Objectives: Survival rates in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) have failed to improve greatly over time, and novel biomarkers are urgently needed. Therefore, the aim was to evaluate the predictive abilit...

Objectives: Deep learning networks have achieved significant progress in caries diagnosis, but automated localization and numbering of carious teeth in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images remain underexplored. Th...

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between caries in primary teeth and caries in permanent teeth among primary school students, and to identify potential effect modifiers of this relationship. Methods: This retr...

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To evaluate and synthesise the current evidence on the efficacy of laser-activated irrigation in endodontics, with a focus on microbial reduction, postoperative outcomes, and its potential as an ad...

Introduction and aims: Conventional removable partial denture (RPD) clasp fabrication with wrought wire depends on operator skill, limiting efficiency and reproducibility. This study compared robotically and manually ben...

Introduction and aims: To evaluate the diagnostic and reasoning capabilities of 4 state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) on the Korean Dental Licensing Examination (KDLE) and to assess their potential as education...

Introduction and aims: Skeletal Class II malocclusion is heterogeneous, and conventional two-dimensional cephalometry may not fully capture relevant three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial variation. This study aimed to iden...

Objective: The objective of this study was to synthesise a novel silver nanocomposite incorporating quorum-quenching enzyme N-acyl-homoserine lactone-lactonase Est816 (Ag-Est816) to inhibit periodontal biofilm formation....

Introduction and aims: Additive manufacturing technology has the potential to produce accurate restorations in the field of prosthodontics. This in vitro study aimed to investigate the dimensional accuracy and marginal a...

Introduction and aims: Subtype-specific differences in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following periodontal therapy for gingivitis remain poorly defined. This study compared changes over time in clinical parameters, or...

Background: This cross-sectional observational study analyzed data from routine clinical practice to compare outcomes across independent treatment duration cohorts (3, 6, and 9 months). Methods: This retrospective cohor...

Introduction and Aims: This study evaluated the effect of implant angulation on the accuracy of digital impressions for 3-unit implant-supported fixed partial dentures obtained with 2 intraoral scanners. Methods: Three p...

This work presents, for the frst time, the development of magnetic composites using activated biochar (BC-Act) derived from yerba mate waste. It includes an analysis of the effect of the activation process on the formati...

In few groups of parasites have the patterns of distribution been studied using quantitative methods, even though, the study of these organisms indirectly provides information on the biogeographic history of their hosts,...
