Comprehensive Analysis of Factors Influencing Patients' Preferences and Attitudes toward Dental Treatment Choices.

Introduction: In recent years, patient preferences and attitudes have become crucial in shaping dental treatment choices and service utilization. Understanding these preferences is crucial for improving service delivery and patient satisfaction.

Aim: This study aims to comprehensively analyze the factors influencing these preferences, focusing on demographic, socio-economic, and behavioral variables, and the growing role of social media in healthcare decisions.

Influence of spatial redistribution of heterogeneities in proton beam characteristics.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the fundamental properties of spot-scanning proton beams and compare them to Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, both with and without CT calibration, using spatially diverse combinations of materials.

Methods: A heterogeneous phantom was created by spatially distributing titanium, wax, and thermocol to generate six scenarios of heterogeneous combinations. Proton pencil beams ranging in energy from 100 to 226.

Is transoral robotic surgery useful as a salvage technique in head and neck cancers: a systematic review and meta analysis.

Background: Residual, recurrent, and second primary head and neck cancers are on the rise. This is largely driven by a younger age at diagnosis and increasingly targeted chemoradiotherapy options. Salvage surgery remains the only curative intent option in this cohort of patients.

Rational Synthesis of Highly Stable Dithienopyrrole-Embedded BODIPYs Exhibiting Large Stokes Shift.

A series of dithienopyrrole (DTP) embedded BODIPYs were synthesized and structurally characterized. These BODIPYs have strong absorption in the green region and broad emission in the red region with a large Stokes shift ranging from 3100 to 4200 cm. Interestingly, all three BODIPYs show intramolecular charge transfer interaction (ICT).

Radicular Dentin Thickness and Root Canal Morphology of Mandibular Incisors in Indian Subpopulation Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

Aim Using two classifications, this study assessed root morphology and canal configuration and measured the Dentin thickness (DT) and canal shapes. Methods Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with 400 Mandibular Incisors was collected and assessed for the number, length, curvature of roots, number of canals, bifurcation level, configurations based on Vertucci's and Ahmed's classification, DT and canal shape at 3, 6, 9 mm from the apex. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis with a level of significance at p<0.
