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...

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...

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: 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...

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: The clinical efficacy of alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) is well-documented in the literature. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding ARP in the posterior area and in periodontally compro...

Background: Accurate prediction of facial aesthetics after orthodontic treatment is crucial for clinical planning, yet traditional methodologies often lack the required accuracy and realism. We introduce a novel generati...

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...

100 million adults and 15 million adolescents currently use e-cigarettes, a type of Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) or Electronic Non-Nicotine Delivery System (ENNDS). While they were introduced as smoking ces...

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...

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...

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...

Background: Conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC) is widely used as a restorative base and liner owing to its chemical adhesion to dentine, fluoride release, and favourable biocompatibility. Nevertheless, its intrinsic...

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: 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...

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 ...

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is prevalent among hospitalized patients and is frequently complicated by hyperkalemia (HyperK), kidney replacement therapy (KRT), and major adverse kidney events (MAKE). Early predi...

Introduction and aims: Subtype-specific differences in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following periodontal therapy for gingivitis remain poorly defined. This study compared changes over time in clinical parameters, or...

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...
