Introduction and aims: Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is a congenital craniofacial malformation. While TBX22 is a known pathogenic gene, the potential role of TBX15 in SMCP remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate...

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...

ABSTRACT: Background: Lip and oral cavity cancer (LOCC) remains a significant issue in Europe, with an uneven public health burden. While trends have shifted, regional and sex-specific disparities persist due to modifia...

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...

Objectives: To characterize the proliferative and immunophenotypic profiles of salivary gland mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) and to explore their associations with clinicopathologic features, tumour microenvironment (TME...

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...

Introduction and aims: The aim of this study was to collect and analyze country-specific information on corporate dental chains in the European Union, with a particular focus on their prevalence, organizational structure...

Objective: To generate synthetic Orthopantomograms (OPGs) using generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) models and to evaluate the realism of synthetic images through assessments by humans as well as AI models. Methodolo...

Purpose: Dental caries is one of the most prevalent oral diseases worldwide, and predicting Early Enamel Caries (EEC) and Advanced Enamel Caries (AEC) in intraoral imaging is a significant clinical research challenge. To...

Objective: To test whether an AI-assisted, dual-template workflow improves plan–delivery accuracy in tooth autotransplantation versus a replica-only freehand approach. Methods: Twenty-four consecutive cases were assign...

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...

Introduction and aims: Healing abutment dislodgement is a common clinical complication in dental implantology, yet its impact on peri-implant soft tissue immunity remains unclear. This exploratory pilot study aimed to in...

Introduction and aims: Automated dental report generation faces significant challenges in multimodal fusion, often resulting in suboptimal semantic quality and risks of hallucination, where AI generates clinically unsupp...

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) has emerged as a major challenge to global public health due to its low recovery rate and high disability rate, making the development of novel therapeutic approaches imperative. Mese...

Objectives: To investigate the monotonic and fatigue strength of 3D-printed 5 mol% yttria partially stabilized zirconia (5Y-PSZ) and the influences of printing layer orientation and finishing protocol. Methods: Bar-shape...

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in Asians and North Africans. Radiologically it is first identified as asymmetry of the Fossa of Rosenmüller (FR) in the nasopharynx, which is also visi...

Introduction and aims: While oral health status and psychosocial factors are associated with oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to investigate their relationships...

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...
