The dental identification of humans occurs for a number of different reasons, mainly in those cases when the body is fragmentized or disfigured and visual recognition cannot be done. The advanced step of putrefaction disables determination of identity by recognition. We report the case of an unknown man, found near Gjakova district, in 2000. The body was in advanced step of putrefaction. The identity of victim was unknown. The post mortem dental identification was done in the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Prishtina. The availability of dental records and radiographs allowed as to positively identify the body using teeth comparison method.

Lip prints, or cheiloscopy, are unique patterns of grooves and wrinkles, gaining prominence in forensic science as reliable tools for personal identification, akin to fingerprints and DNA profiling. Advances in imaging techniques have enhanced their forensic applicability. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to explore global research trends, key contributors, and thematic developments in lip print research.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to confirm the relevance of knowledge a dentist has regarding obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), considering the fact that based on specific risk factors a dentist may be the first clinician to identify patients who are at risk of being affected by this serious condition.
Methods: The cohort consisted of 53 subjects who underwent a routine dental examination. Anthropometric data and data on tongue size (Mallampati classification), tonsil size (Friedman classification), daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) and systemic risk factors were recorded in a record sheet.

Department of Endodontology, Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Background/aim: To explore transfer learning (TL) techniques for enhancing vertical root fracture (VRF) diagnosis accuracy and to assess the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on image enhancement for VRF detection on both extracted teeth images and intraoral images taken from patients.
Materials And Methods: A dataset of 378 intraoral periapical radiographs comprising 195 teeth with fractures and 183 teeth without fractures serving as controls was included. DenseNet, ConvNext, Inception121, and MobileNetV2 were employed with model fusion.

Department of Restorative Dentistry, University of Washington; Founder and Director, Kois Center, Seattle, Wash; and Private Practice, Seattle, WA, USA.
Objectives: The different scanning errors that can be caused by the operator handling an intraoral scanner (IOS) or the intraoral conditions of the patient being scanned have not been described. The purpose of this review was to describe and classify the scanning errors that can be identified in digital scans recorded by using IOSs.
Overview: The identification of scanning errors in an intraoral scan and understanding the cause of these scanning errors are fundamental procedures for successfully handling an IOS and integrating these digital data acquisition technologies in dental practices.
PI5P4K inhibitors: promising opportunities and challenges.

Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinases (PI5P4K), also known as type II PIPKs or PIPKIIs, convert the lipid second messenger PI5P to PI(4,5)P. The PI5P4K family consists of three isozymes in mammals-PI5P4Kα, β, and γ-which notably utilize both GTP and ATP as phosphodonors. Unlike the other two isozymes, which can utilize both ATP and GTP, PI5P4Kβ exhibits a marked preference for GTP over ATP, acting as an intracellular GTP sensor that alters its kinase activity in response to physiological changes in GTP concentration.
