The aim of this study was to assess on videographs the intra- and inter-rater reproducibility of the Smile Esthetic Index (SEI) that has been previously validated on photographs. Smile videographs were obtained using a smartphone associated with the Smile Lite MDP mounted on a tripod. They were then randomized and evaluated twice consecutively at a 1-week interval by three periodontists according to the SEI based on 10 variables.

- Tobacco and alcohol are major risk factors for oral squamous cell carcinoma, and despite European health policies aimed at prevention, the disease's incidence remains high, particularly among women.
- A study analyzed data from Google, Wikipedia, and Twitter across 28 EU countries from 2004 to 2019, comparing interest in oral cancers with public health initiatives; findings showed a clear temporal link between changes in tobacco packaging and increased online searches for oral cancer in several countries.
- The results suggest that the effectiveness of existing awareness campaigns, like Make Sense, is limited, indicating a need for improved communication strategies and collaboration with public figures to enhance awareness and impact around oral cancer prevention.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) that would identify the brand and model of a dental implant from a radiograph.
Materials And Methods: A data augmentation procedure provided a total of 1,206 dental implant radiographic images of three different brands for six models (Nobel Biocare NobelActive [NNA] and Br.nemark System [NBS], Straumann Bone Level [SBL] and Tissue Level [STL], and Zimmer Biomet Dental Tapered Screw-Vent [ZTSV] and SwissPlus [ZSP]).

Article Synopsis
- * Three cases of women aged 61-67 were diagnosed using sialo-MRI and treated with botulinum toxin A (BTX-A).
- * Preliminary findings indicate BTX-A is effective for managing early symptoms, making it a preferred non-invasive treatment over more serious alternatives.
