Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) poses a significant global health concern, with approximately one in two affected individuals remaining undiagnosed. The failure to diagnose or inadequately control DM can lead not only to systemic complications but also to decreased dental implant survival rates, increased marginal bone loss, and increased susceptibility to peri-implantitis. This study aims to evaluate glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients who have not been diagnosed with DM but exhibit oral DM symptoms prior to dental implant surgery.

Purpose: Patients may have high expectations regarding dental implants based on the source of their information, which can lead to challenges in clinical communication. This study aims to evaluate the quality of responses provided by Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT, OpenAI), an artificial intelligence (AI) program, to patient questions in the field of dental implantology.
Materials And Methods: This study was prospectively designed as a cross-sectional study.
Introduction: Maxillofacial diseases may pose a risk factor for the onset of tinnitus, and may influence the severity of its symptoms. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of tinnitus among patients routinely visiting the Faculty of Dentistry and to assess the relationship between tinnitus and maxillofacial diseases.
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study conducted on 3,626 patients.
Background: Artificial Intelligence, by answering questions about disease prevention strategies, can contribute to making diseases more treatable in their early stages.
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the quality of patient information by assessing the responses of the Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT, Open AI, USA) artificial intelligence model to questions related to medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).
Study Design, Setting, Sample: The study was prospective cross-sectional design.

Background: Impacted tooth extraction is regarded as one of the dental procedures that induces the highest levels of dental anxiety.
Purpose: The study purpose was to measure and compare anxiety levels in patients undergoing 3rd molar extraction between those who did or did not view videos related to 3rd molar operations.
Study Design, Setting, And Sample: This prospective cohort study was conducted on patients who presented to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Background: Corrosion products resulting from the degradation of the dental implant surface due to biological fluids and infection may accumulate in the body and lead to clinical consequences.
Purpose: The primary aim of this study is to measure the accumulation of dental implant corrosion products in the human body and the secondary aim is to estimate the association between corrosion products and fatigue.
Study Design, Setting, Sample: This study was designed as a prospective cross-sectional and was conducted with patients presenting at to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
The purpose of this study was to compare HMGB-1, TLR4, IL-1β, IL-1R1, and TNF-α levels in patients with mild and severe epilepsy with those in a healthy control group. Children aged 4-17 years, diagnosed with epilepsy for at least three years and with no progressive neurological disease, metabolic disease or infection, were selected for the study. The severe epilepsy group consisted of 28 children with at least one episode a week despite receiving three or more antiepileptic drugs.
