The Impact of Silver Diamine Fluoride and Potassium Iodide Treatment on Microtensile Bonds Strength of Composite Restoration for Carious Dentin in Primary and Permanent Teeth and Its Potential Color Changes: An In Vitro Study.

Objectives:  This study aims to examine the effects of silver diamine fluoride and potassium iodide (SDF/KI) treatment on the possible color changes and the microtensile bond strength of composite restorations to carious dentin in different dentitions.

Material And Methods:  A total of 48 sound human teeth were utilized in this study. Twenty-four primary molar teeth were divided into two groups.

"Enhancing post-craniotomy recovery: leveraging AI and network analysis for improved outcomes".

This letter addresses the importance of enhancing post-craniotomy care for primary brain tumor patients by leveraging insights from Rongqing Li et al.'s study on symptom networks. The study identified key central and bridge symptoms, such as sadness and difficulty understanding, which influence post-surgical recovery and quality of life.

"Artificial intelligence-driven infection risk prediction in ventriculoperitoneal shunting: a novel approach for normal pressure hydrocephalus treatment".

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) affects approximately 1.5% of the population, with a higher prevalence in men than women. Ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) is the standard treatment for iNPH, but it poses a notable risk of infection, occurring in 8-10% of cases.

Artificial intelligence in paediatric head trauma: enhancing diagnostic accuracy for skull fractures and brain haemorrhages.

Pediatric head trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with children, particularly those under two years old, being more susceptible to skull fractures due to their unique physiological and developmental characteristics. A recent study by Azusa Ono et al. examined the impact of repeated imaging in children under 24 months with minor head trauma, revealing that 40.

"Navigating the risks of pediatric head trauma: the role of imaging and radiation safety".

Head trauma is a frequent cause of emergency department visits in children due to their larger head-to-body ratio and developing motor skills. Younger children, especially those under 2 years, are at increased risk for skull fractures due to thinner cranial bones. Accurate diagnosis of pediatric skull fractures often requires imaging, including CT scans, which raise concerns about radiation exposure and its associated long-term risks, such as radiation-induced cancers.

Microhardness, Surface Roughness, and Wear Resistance Enhancement of Reinforced Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement Using Fluorinated Graphene Oxide Nanosheets.

Objectives:  Conventional glass ionomer cements (GICs) have been considered the most prevalent restorative material however; the reduced mechanical qualities and decreased wear resistance have been the main challenges facing their wide clinical application. This study was designed to assess the mechanical properties of fluorinated graphene (FG) oxide-modified conventional GIC.

Materials And Methods:  Composites of FG/GIC samples were prepared using (Medifil from PROMEDICA, Germany, shade A3) at different concentrations (0wt%) control group and (1wt%, 2wt% and 3wt% FG) groups using cylindrical molds (3mm × 6mm).

Cone-beam computed tomography-based radiographic considerations in impacted lower third molars: Think outside the box.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the anatomic circle around the impacted lower third molar to show, document, and correlate essential findings that should be included in the routine radiographic assessment protocol as clinically meaningful factors in overall case evaluation and treatment planning.

Materials And Methods: Cone-beam computed tomographic images of impacted lower third molars were selected according to specific inclusion criteria. Impacted teeth were classified according to their position before assessment.
