Objective: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that severely affects oral and general health. N7-methylguanosine (m7G) methylation plays critical roles in regulating gene expression and cellular functions. Me...

In the search for new compounds for the treatment of Chagas disease, the cysteine protease cruzipain remains as one of the most attractive biomolecular targets for drug development. Thiosemicarbazones (TSCs) have been id...

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 ...

Objectives: This study aimed to develop an automated deep learning (DL) system to detect and classify second molar (M2) pathologies associated with impacted third molars (ITMs) on panoramic radiographs. We sought to enha...

Introduction and Aims: Mandibular movement is a complex physiological process essential for orofacial function. Patients with disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR) exhibit significant kinematic impairments, which a...

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...

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...

Introduction: The advancement of AI-assisted oral disease diagnosis critically relies on the availability of annotated, high-quality datasets and resilient deep learning architectures. Nevertheless, progress in this doma...

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: This study utilized dual control groups, caries patients (a representative bacterial infectious disease) and healthy individuals, to identify the core microbiome specific to dental fluorosis and elucidate the...

To systematically evaluate the measurement properties of current masticatory performance (MP) assessment methods in adult populations. A systematic search was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EBSCOhost data...

Objectives: To analyse the relationship between oral frailty (OF) and cognitive impairment in older adults and explore the association between OF and different domains of cognitive function. Methods: A total of 461 commu...

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of deep learning models for segmenting the augmented bone following transalveolar sinus floor elevation (TSFE). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data from 103 patients und...

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...

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: To investigate the differences in palatal bone thickness among adult patients with different sagittal skeletal patterns using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), and to analyse the safe regions f...

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: Introduction and aims: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common malignant tumour of the head and neck region. In recent years, the relationship between pyroptosis and tumours has received increasing att...

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: Ranula is a mucus retention cyst originating from the sublingual gland, and surgical intervention has traditionally been the main treatment. However, surgery is often associated with recurrence, ri...

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...
