How reliable is the artificial intelligence product large language model ChatGPT in orthodontics?

Objectives: To evaluate the reliability of information produced by the artificial intelligence-based program ChatGPT in terms of accuracy and relevance, as assessed by orthodontists, dental students, and individuals seeking orthodontic treatment.

Materials And Methods: Frequently asked and curious questions in four basic areas related to orthodontics were prepared and asked in ChatGPT (Version 4.0), and answers were evaluated by three different groups (senior dental students, individuals seeking orthodontic treatment, orthodontists).

The effect of antimicrobial peptide-added adhesive resins on shear bond strength and the adhesive remnant index of orthodontic brackets.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of in-vivo produced Nisin which is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) added to adhesive resin on shear bond strength (SBS) and the adhesive remnant index (ARI) of orthodontic brackets.

Methods: Bacterial AMP was produced by fermentation and the ideal AMP/Bond concentration and antimicrobial efficacy of the mixture were tested. To evaluate the SBS and ARI scores of AMP-added adhesive resins, 80 maxillary premolar teeth extracted for orthodontic purposes were used and randomly assigned into 2 groups (n = 40).

Color Alterations, Flexural Strength, and Microhardness of 3DPrinted Resins Treated in Different Coloring Agents.

Purpose This study evaluated the color alterations, flexural strength and microhardness properties of two different 3D-printed permanent crown resins. Materials and Methods Samples were produced from two different 3D Print permanent crown resins: Group 1 (Saremco Crowntec; Saremco, Switzerland), Group 2 (P-crown Version 2; Senertek, Turkey). Color changes (ΔE values), flexural strenght and vickers hardness number of the samples were calculated.

Obstetrician-Gynecologists' Knowledge and Awareness on Nasoalveolar Molding in Newborns with Cleft Lip and Palate.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge and awareness of obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYNs) about the presurgical orthopedic treatment of newborns with cleft lip and palate (CLP).

Methods: We conducted a 12-question survey by email to 532 OB-GYNs who were members of the Turkish Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Association. The participants were asked about their years in practice, region of practice, and knowledge of CLP and nasoalveolar molding (NAM).

How much should incisors be decompensated? periodontal bone defects during presurgical orthodontic treatment in class III double-jaw orthognathic surgery patients.

Introduction: The aims of this study were to evaluate periodontal bone defects around the lower and upper incisors and to identify changes in the buccolingual inclination of the incisors during orthodontic decompensation in skeletal Class III orthognathic surgery patients.

Materials And Methods: The sample consisted of 26 adults with skeletal Class III deformity who had undergone presurgical orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery. Lateral cephalograms obtained before orthodontic treatment and before surgery were used to determine the inclination and position changes of the incisors.

Accuracy of 3 Soft Tissue Prediction Methods After Double-Jaw Orthognathic Surgery in Class III Patients.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the accuracy and validity of conventional manual prediction method (CM) and 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional (3D) soft tissue prediction methods for Class III bimaxillary orthognathic surgery patients.

Methods: Twenty skeletal Class III patients were included in this study. Soft tissue prediction was achieved with a traditional manual technique, 2-dimensional software (Dolphin Imaging, version 11.

Use of Laser Systems in Orthodontics.

Laser systems have been used in the practice of dentistry for >35 years. Laser systems have so many advantages, such as increase patient cooperation, reduce the duration of treatment time, and help the orthodontists to enhance the design of a patient's smile to improve treatment efficacy, and the success of orthodontic treatments can also be improved by diminishing the orthodontic pain and the discomfort of the patients. Laser systems also have some disadvantages, such as cost, large space requirements for some types, and high-risk potential for physician and patient if not used at the appropriate wavelength and power density, that is why before incorporating lasers into clinical practice, the physician must fully understand the basic science, safety protocol, and risks associated with them.

Dental root development associated with treatments by rapid maxillary expansion/reverse headgear and slow maxillary expansion.

Objectives: To assess dental root development in two groups of paediatric patients who received treatments with reverse headgear and rapid maxillary expansion and slow maxillary dental arch expansion.

Materials And Methods: The 20 subjects (13 girls, 7 boys; mean age: 8.9 ± 1.

Do total or partial etching procedures effect the rate of white spot lesion formation? A single-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Objective: To determine whether total or partial etching procedures influence the appearance of white spot lesions (WSLs).

Materials And Methods: This split-mouth, double-blind, controlled, randomized study included 20 patients (mean age 16.75 years), who had class I malocclusion, mild crowding, and satisfactory oral hygiene.

Relationship between odontogenic bacteremia and orthodontic stripping.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of bacteremia associated with an orthodontic stripping procedure.

Methods: The study included 29 orthodontic patients (mean age, 18.2 ± 3.
