The current study aimed to implement and validate an automation system to detect carious lesions from smartphone images using different one-stage deep learning techniques. 233 images of carious lesions were captured using a smartphone camera system a...

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is classified as a potentially malignant disorder. Systematic reviews collating longitudinal observation studies provide evidence of the rate or proportion of malignant transformation. We conducted an umbrella study of publis...

The use of digital health technologies, including telemedicine and teledentistry, has become a necessity in healthcare due to the SARS-CoV-19 pandemic. These technologies allow for the reduction of the workload of healthcare providers and the improve...

Introduction: Salivary biomarkers have been extensively studied in relation to oral disease, such as periodontal disease, oral cancer, and dental caries, as well as systemic conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological dis...

Oral cavity is the first site to encounter e-cigarette (EC) or tobacco smoke. Increased gingival pigmentation can lead to aesthetic concerns and hinder successful outcomes of gingival depigmentation procedures as well as lead to color alterations in...

The aim of this study is to study the effect of aging in different media (deionized water and artificial saliva) on the force/torque generation by thermoplastic orthodontic aligners. Ten thermoformed aligners, made of Essix ACE® thermoplastic she...

A partial or complete pulpotomy is a type of vital pulp therapy (VPT) that aims to remove the inflamed, infected pulp, leaving behind healthy, vital pulp that is capable of healing. VPT has gained renewed popularity as a treatment option in permanent...

Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), two resin monomers often used in dental restorative materials, are leached due to insufficient polymerization and contact cells of the oral cavity. Despite reports on...

The widespread application of CAD/CAM technology in contemporary dentistry led to the development of promising restorative materials, such as resin composite blocks (RCBs). Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the mechanical properties of RCBs, c...

Purpose: To systematically review studies that investigated the consequences of various polishing protocols on the mechanical properties of zirconia. The effects on the roughness and crystalline phase transformation were also evaluated. Materials and...
