Objectives: The objectives of this pair of studies were to examine the internal reliability, test-retest reliability, and construct validity of the Revised Dental Beliefs Survey.
Methods: A total of 108 college students completed two questionnaires containing the Revised Dental Beliefs Survey, as well as the Revised Iowa Dental Control Index, and Desirability of Control scales. As part of another experiment, 141 study participants with dental injection phobia completed the Revised Dental Beliefs Survey and the Dental Anxiety Scale.
Results: Both the internal and test-retest reliabilities of the Revised Dental Beliefs Survey were high. The measure demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validities.
Conclusion: The Revised Dental Beliefs Survey is well-suited for use with clinical and nonclinical populations, in which a stable and valid measure of perceptions of the dental situation is desired.

Department of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Ataturk University, Erzurum, 25240, Turkey.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the contact relationship and position of impacted mandibular third molar teeth (IMM) with the mandibular canal (MC) in panoramic radiography (PR) images using deep learning (DL) models trained with the help of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and DL to compare the performances of the architectures.
Methods: In this study, a total of 546 IMMs from 290 patients with CBCT and PR images were included. The performances of SqueezeNet, GoogLeNet, and Inception-v3 architectures in solving four problems on two different regions of interest (RoI) were evaluated.
Background: Dentists can be exposed to dust and nanoparticles from teeth, dental composites, and metal alloys generated during dental procedures, and exposure to dust can cause respiratory diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis. The authors describe mortality from nonmalignant respiratory diseases (NMRDs) among dentists in the United States.
Methods: The authors submitted information on US dentists who died from 1979 through 2018 to a centralized US death records database to obtain underlying causes of death.
Japanese clinical practice guidelines for oral cancer, 2023.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nara Medical University, Nara, Japan.
The Japanese Society of Oral Oncology and Japanese Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons have jointly developed clinical practice guidelines for oral cancer (oral squamous cell carcinoma) to improve and standardize the quality of oral cancer treatment in Japan. The first, second, and third editions were published in 2009, 2013, and 2019, respectively, and the 2023 edition was recently developed. In the development of the 2023 edition, 60 clinical questions (CQs) were listed.

December 2024
EpiDoC Unit, NOVA Medical School, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.
Background: Although the oral health status has improved in developed countries in recent years, oral diseases are still unequally distributed across socio-economic groups. Research on the impact of socio-economic factors on oral health care among older adults in Europe, including Portugal, remains limited. The main aim of this study was to investigate the association between socio-economic factors and oral health indicators in Portuguese older adults.

Intensive Care Unit, Institute of Science Tokyo Hospital, 1-5-45 Yushima Bunkyo-Ku, Tokyo, 113-8510, Japan.
Background: Experiencing a loved one's stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) can profoundly affect families, often leading to post-intensive care syndrome-family (PICS-F), a condition particularly exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. While PICS-F significantly impacts the mental health of families of ICU patients, especially in the context of COVID-19, the long-term effects beyond 12 months remain understudied. This study aims to explore the prevalence of PTSD-related symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in family members up to 18 months after ICU discharge.
