Introduction: This study aimed to clinically evaluate the accuracy of Dental Monitoring's (DM) artificial intelligence (AI) image analysis and oral hygiene notification algorithm in identifying oral hygiene and mucogingival conditions.

Methods: Twenty-four patients seeking orthodontic therapy were monitored by DM oral hygiene protocol during their orthodontic treatment. During the bonding appointment and at each of 10 subsequent adjustment visits, a total of 232 clinical oral examinations were performed to assess the presence of the 3 oral hygiene parameters that DM monitors.

Introduction: An in-vivo evaluation of the Dental Monitoring (DM; Paris, France) Artificial Intelligence Driven Remote Monitoring technology was conducted in an active clinical setting. Our objectives were to compare the accuracy and validity of the 3-dimensional (3D) digital models remotely generated from the DM application to 3D Digital Models generated from the iTero Element 5D intraoral scanner (Align Technologies, San Jose, Calif) of patients' dentition during in-vivo fixed orthodontic treatment.

Methods: The orthodontic treatment of 24 patients (aged 14-55 years) was tracked across an average of 13.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Dental Monitoring™ (DM™) Artificial Intelligence Driven Remote Monitoring Technology (AIDRM) technology in improving the patient's oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment through AI-based personalized active notifications.

Methods: A prospective clinical study was conducted on two groups of orthodontic patients. DM Group: (n = 24) monitored by DM weekly scans and received personalized notifications on the DM smartphone application regarding their oral hygiene status.

Protection from and removal of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) from the environment remains a global goal. Activated charcoal, metal oxides, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), polyoxometalates (POMs) and reactive polymers have all been investigated for CWA removal. Composite polymeric materials are rapidly gaining traction as versatile building blocks for personal protective equipment (PPE) and catalytic devices.

Materials that both sequester chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and then catalytically decontaminate the entrapped CWAs are highly sought. This article reports such a system for air-based catalytic removal of the sulfur mustard (HD) simulant, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES). Hypercrosslinked polymers (HCPs) sequester CEES, and an HCP-embedded oxidation system comprising tribromide, nitrate, and acid (NOBrH) simultaneously catalyzes the aerobic and selective, oxidative conversion of the entrapped CEES to the desired far less-toxic sulfoxide under ambient conditions (air and temperature).
