Assessment of the quality of oral squamous cell carcinoma clinical records in oral surgery with Surgical Tool for Auditing Records (STAR) scoring
BACKGROUND The Surgical Tool for Auditing Records scoring system [STAR] focuses on surgical record auditing with promising outcomes. It offers a structured approach to evaluating the quality of surgical notes. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the STAR in evaluating oral surgical records and identifying areas for improvement in documentation…

An open-label, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial of different silver diamine fluoride application intervals to arrest dental caries
BACKGROUND Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is an antimicrobial agent and alternative treatment option that can be used to arrest dental decay. While there is optimism with SDF with regard to caries management, there is no true consensus on the number and frequency of applications for children. The purpose of this study was to examine the…

Assessing oral and toothbrush microbial profiles among high-altitude individuals with and without periodontal disease: a case-control study
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is the sixth-most common disease worldwide. The oral microbiome composition and its association with Periodontal disease (PD) have been largely explored; however, limited studies have explored the microbial profiles of both oral and toothbrushes in patients with PD. Thus, this study aimed to ascertain the oral and toothbrushes microbial composition in high-altitude populations,…

Evaluation of the effect of thermocycling on the trueness and precision of digitally fabricated complete denture bases
BACKGROUND While many denture base materials are currently available on the market, little data exists regarding their dimensional stability after exposure to the oral environment. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of thermocycling on the trueness and precision of milled, 3-dimensional (3D)-printed, and conventional digitally fabricated complete denture bases (CDBs). METHODS A completely edentulous…

Treatment outcomes of oral leukoplakia on the irradiated or nonirradiated mucosa among survivors of head and neck cancer in the papulation where practice of betel nut chewing and cigarette smoking are widespread
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy (RT) has numerous effects on the oral mucosa, primarily genetic alterations and changes in the microenvironment. The characteristics of oral leukoplakia (OL) may differ between patients who have received previous head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment with radiation therapy and those who have not. Due to a lack of data on this scenario,…

Management of a dentigerous cyst; a ten-year clinicopathological study
BACKGROUND Dentigerous cysts, deemed of developmental origin, are benign odontogenic cysts characterized by a gradual growth rate. Their occurrence is twice as prevalent in men compared to women. These cysts are recognized as the most frequent developmental cysts affecting the jaws, with a typical manifestation in individuals aged 20 to 40, while infrequently identified in…

Convolutional neural network for automated tooth segmentation on intraoral scans
BACKGROUND Tooth segmentation on intraoral scanned (IOS) data is a prerequisite for clinical applications in digital workflows. Current state-of-the-art methods lack the robustness to handle variability in dental conditions. This study aims to propose and evaluate the performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for automatic tooth segmentation on IOS images. METHODS A dataset…

The damage and remineralization strategies of dental hard tissues following radiotherapy
OBJECTIVES This study pursued two main purposes. The first aim was to expound on the microscopic factors of radiation-related caries (RRC). Further, it aimed to compare the remineralization effect of different remineralizing agents on demineralized teeth after radiotherapy. METHODS The enamel and dentin samples of bovine teeth were irradiated with different doses of radiation. After…

Evaluation of the accuracy of conventional and digital implant impression techniques in bilateral distal extension cases: a randomized clinical trial
BACKGROUND This clinical study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the conventional implant impression techniques compared to the digital impression ones in bilateral distal extension cases. METHODS A total of 32 implants were placed in eight patients missing all mandibular posterior teeth except the first premolars. Each patient received a total of four implants, with…

The efficacy of diode laser and subgingival air polishing with erythritol in treatment of periodontitis (clinical and microbiological study)
BACKGROUND There is insufficient clinical and microbiological evidence to support the use of diode laser and air-polishing with erythritol as supplements to scaling and root planning(SRP). The aim of the current study is to evaluate the clinical and microbiologic efficacy of erythritol subgingival air polishing and diode laser in treatment of periodontitis. METHODS The study…
