Comparison of diagnoses made by dentistry students and by artificial intelligence dentists.

Objectives: The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) about great changes in the field of dentistry, but it has not yet been fully determined in which areas it will make a positive contribution to dentistry students. The objective of our study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of undergraduate students (fourth-year dentistry students [4DS] and final-year dentistry students [5DS]) and AI when examining panoramic radiographs.

Methods: Fifty panoramic radiographs and 1602 teeth were examined by 50 4DS who had not received a clinical practice internship, 50 5DS, and an AI application.

Mandibular morphology in schizophrenia patients compared with non-psychiatric controls using digital panoramic radiography: a retrospective cross-sectional study from Istanbul, Türkiye.

Background: Schizophrenia is a chronic severe mental disorder characterized by impairment in cognition, emotion, perception, and other aspects of behavior. In light of the association of craniofacial dysmorphology with schizophrenia, mandibular morphology may provide clues about the role of neurodevelopment in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to compare the mandibular morphology of patients with schizophrenia with controls using digital panoramic radiography (DPR).

Determination of Mandibular Morphology in a Turkish Population With Bipolar I Disorder Using Panoramic Radiography.

The presence of specific craniofacial deviations may be evidence of abnormal early brain development in bipolar disorder (BD). This study aimed to compare mandibular morphology in patients with BD versus nonpsychiatric controls using panoramic radiography. A total of 215 recorded images, 70 patients with BD and 145 controls, were evaluated.

The Prevalence of Bruxism and Associated Factors Among Patients with Schizophrenia in Istanbul, Türkiye: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic neuropsychiatric disorder that involves profound impairment of psychopathology in cognition, emotion, perception, and other aspects of behavior. Factors, such as the nature of the disease, length of hospital stay, duration of illness, and side effects of psychotropic drugs, may contribute to poor oral health and the risk of developing bruxism in patients with schizophrenia.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of bruxism and associated factors in patients with schizophrenia.

Effect of preparation design on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of 3D printed one-piece endodontic crowns.

Statement Of Problem: The impact of various preparation designs on the fracture resistance and fracture type of mandibular premolars restored with 3 dimensionally (3D) printed, 1-piece endodontic crowns remains unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different preparation designs on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of mandibular premolars restored with 3D printed 1-piece endodontic crowns after thermal aging.

Material And Methods: Forty-five freshly extracted mandibular premolars received 3 different preparation designs: with at least 2 intact cuspal walls (2CW), with only 1 intact cuspal wall (1CW), and no cuspal wall present (NoCW).

Micro-shear Bond Strength of an Alternative Self-etch Application of "No Wait" Universal Adhesive to Caries-affected and Sound Dentin in Permanent and Primary Teeth.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the micro-shear bond strength (μSBS) of caries-affected dentin (CAD) and sound dentin (SoD) in primary and permanent teeth using an alternative self-etch application of "no wait" universal adhesive.

Methods And Materials: Flat midcoronal dentin surfaces from 72 permanent third molars and 72 second primary molars were distributed randomly into 12 groups according to the substrate SoD and artificially-created CAD (pH cycling for 14 days) and the adhesive system (GLUMA Bond5, a two-step etch & rinse adhesive, GLUMA Bond, a one-step self-etch adhesive, and Tokuyama Universal Bond, a one-step self-etch adhesive) (n=12). Bonded dentin resin discs were put through micro-shear bond strength testing after 10,000 thermocycles.

Diagnostic value of digital breast tomosynthesis and synthetic images in patients with breast cancer.

Background: Different imaging techniques are used in the diagnosis of breast cancer. The low sensitivity of mammography to detect cancer in the dense breast parenchyma and the lack of standard application of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) are some of the problems. Therefore, breast cancer imaging techniques should be compared in terms of conspicuity and characterization of lesions.

The comparison of the repair bond strength of the composite resin to direct and indirect composite restorations with different surface preparations.

Background: Indirect restorations have been employed in restorative dentistry to solve some of the drawbacks of direct restorations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different modes of a universal adhesive resin on the repair capacity of two indirect resin composites and a direct resin composite.

Methods: Indirect composite resins (Ceramage and Gradia Plus) and a direct composite resin (Filtek Z250) were prepared in a plastic mold with a height and diameter of 2-mm and 6-mm, respectively.

The Effect of Noise Exposure on Hearing Function and Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials.

Purpose: Exposure to noise can cause damage to both auditory and vestibular systems. The objective of this study is to evaluate how noise exposure affects the hearing and vestibular systems in individuals with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).

Methods: This study included 80 subjects (40 subjects with NIHL, and 40 controls), between 26 and 59 years old.

Effect of microabrasion on the staining susceptibility of enamel: An in vitro study.

Enamel microabrasion can eliminate enamel irregularities and discoloration. This study evaluated the staining susceptibility of enamel after microabrasion using different clinical protocols. A total of 210 extracted bovine incisors were used in this study.

Does the Use of Rocuronium-Sugammadex Instead of Succinylcholine in Electroconvulsive Therapy Affect Seizure Duration?

Objective: We compared retrospectively the seizure variables of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) patients after administration of rocuronium-sugammadex or succinylcholine as a muscle relaxant with propofol anesthesia.

Methods: The sample comprised 134 ECT patients. The mean age was 33.

Evaluation of Bruxism and Its Relation with Treatment Regimens among Remitted Bipolar Patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of bruxism and treatment regimens among remitted bipolar patients.

Subjects And Methods: The total case group included 222 adult patients with BD. Diagnosis of bruxism was based upon the on 'self-reports' plus the outcome from the clinical examinations.
