Diagnostic Accuracy of Artificial Intelligence Compared to Biopsy in Detecting Early Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis.

Objective: To summarize and compare the existing evidence on diagnostic accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) models in detecting early oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Method: Review was performed in accordance to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis - Diagnostic Test Accuracy (PRISMA- DTA) checklist and the review protocol is registered under PROSPERO(CRD42023456355). PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCOhost were searched from January 2000 to November 2023 to identify the diagnostic potential of AI based tools and models.

Evaluation of Awareness Toward Various Treatment Options and Maintenance Practices among Removable Partial and Complete Denture Patients in Western Maharashtra - A Questionnaire-Based Study.

Introduction: Researchers must concentrate their focus on whether patients understand various treatment options available among removable complete and partial denture patients and whether they are aware of the maintenance protocol of the prosthesis.

Materials And Methods: All the patients who completed removable partial or complete denture treatment in a period of 6 months were included in the study. Collected data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square test at a significance level of < 0.

An In Vitro Study Comparing the Impact and Flexural Strength of Leucitone 199 Denture Base Resin and Conventional Denture Base Resin Enhanced With Glass Fibre Mesh and Polyethylene Fibre Mesh.

Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare and evaluate the impact and flexural strength of conventional denture base resin reinforced with glass fiber mesh and polyethylene fiber mesh with Leucitone 199 denture base resin (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, USA). Leucitone is an expensive denture base material. To come up with a cheaper solution for reinforced denture base resin with superior impact and flexural strength was the goal of this study Material and methods The specimens (maxillary denture bases) were fabricated using a standard polyvinylsiloxane mold with conventional heat-cured polymethyl methacrylate resin (ISO 1567:1999).

Comparative evaluation of flexural strength of denture base resin materials processed using compression molding technique, injection molding technique, and computer-aided design CAM technique: An study.

Background: Denture bases undergo repeated flexing during mastication leading to fatigue failure, demanding a high fatigue strength property. Flexural (transverse) strength is required high to prevent catastrophic failure under load for success. Denture base resins are fabricated by three different types of manufacturing: Compression molding, injection molding and computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) milling technique.

Comparison of Marginal Fit of Metal Copings in Two Different States with and without Using Ring Liners: An Study.

Aim And Objective: To compare the marginal fit of Ni-Cr copings made by casting in two different states (dry and wet) with either cellulose ring liners or no ring liners.

Materials And Methods: An study was conducted on 40 patterns which were invested, and a burnout casting procedure was used, using a Ni-Cr alloy to obtain the cast copings. The cast copings were divested, cleaned, and run through a finishing procedure.

COVID-19: Implications on dental profession and precautionary guidelines.

The current global spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its associated coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has grasped the attention of entire international community and has caused widespread public health concerns. All the efforts taken globally to curtail the novel COVID-19; the outbreak is still on a rise owing to the community spread pattern of this infection. COVID-19 is a zoonotic infection that, like other coronavirus infections, is believed to have been originated in bats and pangolins, and later transmitted to humans.
