Periodontal maintenance is crucial for long-term periodontal stability, but some patients do not undertake maintenance following their initial treatment. To date, the motivations, backgrounds, and concerns of patients who underwent maintenance have not been researched. Therefore, we analyzed the subject's intentions and the behavior of the patient affected by periodontal maintenance using Step for Coding and Theorization (SCAT).

- Large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT and others, were analyzed for their effectiveness as educational tools in the dental field by using questions from a Japanese national examination.
- The study found that GPT-4 had the highest accuracy at 75.3%, with various models performing differently across question categories, particularly excelling in disease mechanism-related questions.
- The overall results indicate that while GPT-4 stands out as the most effective tool currently, the abilities of these LLMs are continually evolving, suggesting a promising future for their use in education.
Aim: Malnutrition is a prevalent health issue among hemodialysis patients. Oral frailty, a condition characterized by impairments in multiple oral health aspects and functions, has been associated with nutritional status in the general population. We aimed to determine whether oral frailty was associated with nutritional status in hemodialysis patients aged ≥50 years.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of periodontal initial treatment on brain function activity by improving periodontal tissue and the occlusal status of subjects with periodontitis.
Materials And Methods: The subjects were 13 patients with periodontitis.
Background/purpose: Rapid advancements in AI technology have led to significant interest in its application across various fields, including medicine and dentistry. This study aimed to assess the capabilities of ChatGPT-4V with image recognition in answering image-based questions from the Japanese National Dental Examination (JNDE) to explore its potential as an educational support tool for dental students.
Materials And Methods: The dataset used questions from the JNDE, which was conducted in January 2023, with a focus on image-related queries.
