Background: Recent years have witnessed a surge in the integration of digital intelligence within dental education, with various technologies increasingly supporting clinical skill training and educational applications. ...

Introduction and aims: Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) produces complex clinical data, while artificial intelligence (AI) applications in this field remain limited despite great potential. This study aimed to map t...

Objectives: The concept of ‘One Health’ emphasizes the intrinsic connection of ‘Human Health’ with ‘Animal Health’ and ‘Environmental Health’. The research landscape of the intersection of one health in t...

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...

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,...

Background: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a major cause of chronic orofacial pain, with myalgia of the masticatory muscles being central to symptom burden. Electrolyte modulation, particularly magnesium, may inf...

Objective: To explore and compare the extent of maximal gingival display among four different facial expressions, including the requested smile, Duchenne smile, grimace of disgust, and funnel-shaped expression, using Aut...
