An analysis of doses to tooth enamel and to organs was carried out to develop a method that can predict the organ doses and the effective dose by electron spin resonance (ESR) dosimetry using tooth samples for external photon exposure. Absorbed dose to tooth enamel and organ doses were obtained by Monte Carlo calculations using the EGS4 code in combination with a mathematical human model with a newly defined teeth part. The calculations gave quantitative relations between tooth enamel dose and organ doses for some cases of external photon exposure. It was also found that tooth enamel dose depends more significantly on energy of incident photons than the other organ dose or the effective dose. The obtained data are to be useful for the assessment of individual dose in past exposure events by the ESR dosimetry using tooth enamel.

Fracture Resistance and Wear Behavior of Ultra-Thin Occlusal Veneers Made From Translucent Zirconia Ceramics Bonded to Different Tooth Substrates.
J Esthet Restor Dent
January 2025
Department of Prosthodontics, Propaedeutics and Dental Materials, School of Dentistry, Christian-Albrechts University at Kiel, Kiel, Germany.
Objective: Investigation of the mechanical properties of occlusal veneers made from zirconia with varying translucency, bonded to different tooth substrates.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-four extracted molars were divided into two groups: preparation within enamel (E) or extending into dentin (D). Veneers were milled from four zirconia ceramics (n = 8): 5Y-TZP (HT), a multilayer of 5 and 3Y-TZP (GT), 3Y-TZP (LT), and 4Y-TZP (MT).
In Vitro Analysis of Enamel Abrasion Using a Novel Manual Nano-Bristle Toothbrush: An Atomic Force Microscopy Study.

Periodontology, SRM Kattankulathur Dental College and Hospital, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Chengalpattu, IND.
Introduction: To evaluate the enamel abrasion effects of soft, ultra-soft, and nano-bristle toothbrushes using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to guide toothbrush selection for optimal enamel preservation.
Methods: This in vitro study involved 45 extracted human teeth (central and lateral incisors), randomly assigned to three groups (n=15 each): Group I (nano-bristle), Group II (ultra-soft bristle), and Group III (soft bristle). Each specimen underwent 10,000 brushing cycles with a standardized 2 N force to simulate one year of brushing.
The application of deep learning in early enamel demineralization detection.

State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases & National Center for Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Objective: The study aims to develop a diagnostic model using intraoral photographs to accurately detect and classify early detection of enamel demineralization on tooth surfaces.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted with 208 patients aged 14 to 44. A total of 624 high-quality digital images captured under standardized conditions were used to construct a deep learning model based on the Mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN).
Laser therapy in Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) teeth treatment of hypersensitivity: a systematic review.
Lasers Med Sci
January 2025
School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto, Department of Restorative Dentistry, University of São Paulo, Av. Café S/N, Monte Alegre, Ribeirão Preto, SP, 14040-904, Brazil.
This review investigated the effects of hypersensitivity treatment on molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) using laser therapy, combined or in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities. The review was conducted according to the PICOS strategy (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome) and was performed in March 2024 using the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and Embase. The RoB 2 tool was employed to evaluate the risk of bias.

Department of Oral Diagnosis, School of Dentistry, University of Campinas, Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil.
Objective: To evaluate the frequency of tooth anomalies (TA) in the deciduous and permanent dentition of patients with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC), both inside and outside the cleft area.
Methods: The following databases were searched for the relevant literature: Cochrane, OVID, SciELO, Embase, Livivo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The risk of bias was analyzed using the Joanna Briggs Institute.
