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...

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...

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common oral cavity malignancy with a poor prognosis. Although chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1) has been implicated in tumor progression in several types of cancer, i...

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...

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...

ABSTRACT: Dental and maxillofacial injuries represent an important but underrecognised component of trauma during episodes of violent crowd control. Blunt and projectile forces directed toward the head frequently result ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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: 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...

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...
