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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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: Evidence suggests a relationship between oral microbiota and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the roles of specific microbiota in the pathogenesis of CVDs remain underexplored. Methods: Two...

Introduction and aims: Interleukin (IL)-38 has been identified as an anti-inflammatory cytokine; however, its specific role in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) synovial inflammation and the identity of its functional recept...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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: 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: 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...

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...

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...
