Usefulness of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools in Pediatric Dentistry.

: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT has developed rapidly in recent years, and in the medical field, its usefulness for diagnostic assistance has been reported. However, there are few reports of AI use in dental fields. : We created 20 questions that we had encountered in clinical pediatric dentistry, and collected the responses to these questions from three types of generative AI.

Inhibitory Effects of Surface Pre-Reacted Glass Ionomer Filler Eluate on in the Presence of Sucrose.

The surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) filler is a type of bioactive functional glass that releases six different ions. This study examined the effects of the S-PRG filler eluate on in the presence of sucrose. In a solution containing , the concentrations of BO, Al, Sr, and F were significantly higher in the presence of the S-PRG filler eluate than in its absence ( < 0.

Dental Abnormalities in Pediatric Patients Receiving Chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy is a common treatment for pediatric cancer. Although life prognosis is improving because of advances in medical science, it is important to deal with late effects such as dental abnormalities. We investigated the association between dental abnormalities and chemotherapy by age and tooth type.

High prevalence of vitamin B-12 deficiency before and early after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer.

Background And Objectives: Gastrectomy causes vitamin B-12 deficiency since vitamin B-12 requires gastric acid and intrinsic factor for its absorption. Vitamin B-12 deficiency is considered to develop years after gastrectomy because of large hepatic storage. However, most gastric cancer develops after long-standing atrophic gastritis with vitamin B-12 malabsorption.
