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...

The characteristic oral environment – with its dynamic clearance, moisture, microbial load, and inflammatory potential – makes oral diseases highly prevalent and therapeutically challenging. Metal-organic frameworks ...

Oral mucosal ageing represents a fundamental reprogramming of the tissue microenvironment, a dynamic process that underlies the functional decline and heightened disease susceptibility observed in the elderly. This revie...

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...

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...

Objective: To assess how resin cement viscosity and thickness influence the static shear bond strength (s-SBS) of adhesively bonded lithium disilicate ceramic. Methods: Cylindrical lithium disilicate samples were prepare...

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,...

Introduction and aims: There has been a substantial increase in the number of umbrella reviews (URs) published in dentistry. To ensure their conclusions are accurate, these URs must be assessed for methodological quality...

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...

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: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the dentinal tubule-occluding efficacy of various desensitising toothpastes and a sodium fluoride varnish using a subnanolitre scaled fluid flow measuring device (NFMD)...

Cerium-based materials were intensively studied in last years because of their high oxygen storage capacity (OSC) associated to the reversible Ce4+ Ce3+ process and their properties closely related to the defect chemistr...

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 and aims: To provide the research progress on the cGAS-STING signalling pathway and its related roles in various oral diseases. Methods: We reviewed the recent research on cGAS-STING in PubMed. Th...

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: 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...

Background: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of combined multiple-case teaching (MCT) and narrative medicine teaching (NMT) method compared with lecture-based learning (LBL) in the clinical pr...

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...
