Background/purpose: The advent of digital technologies has significantly transformed the current dentistry, particularly in the fabrication of removable dental prostheses. A bibliometric analysis of literature may provide a direction of research hotspots and future trends in this field.

Materials And Methods: Data were retrieved from Web of Science database for the analysis of literature on digital technologies for removable dental prostheses. Microsoft Excel was used for the descriptive statistics. VOSviewer was deployed for the analysis of published articles.

Results: A total of 457 published documents were identified from 2004 to 2023. The most frequently published article type was original article (n = 262, 57.33%). The number of annual publications and citations significantly increased from 2004 to 2023, respectively ( for trend <0.001). In addition, the significant increased number of publications and citations pre year affected by COVID-19 pandemic were noted ( < 0.002). Most articles were published in Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry (n = 141, 30.85%). The computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and 3D printing technique were the frequent emphasized keywords in digital technologies for removable dental prostheses.

Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis revealed a growing research interest and technological progress in digital technologies for removable dental prostheses during past two decades. The enhancement of accuracy by CAD/CAM and 3D printing suggests a promising future for the application of these technologies in dental practice.

Exploring the Credibility of Large Language Models for Mental Health Support: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

JMIR Res Protoc

January 2025

Data and Web Science Group, School of Business Informatics and Mathematics, University of Manneim, Mannheim, Germany.

Background: The rapid evolution of large language models (LLMs), such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT; Google) and GPT (OpenAI), has introduced significant advancements in natural language processing. These models are increasingly integrated into various applications, including mental health support. However, the credibility of LLMs in providing reliable and explainable mental health information and support remains underexplored.

Background: Psychologists have developed frameworks to understand many constructs, which have subsequently informed the design of digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) aimed at improving mental health outcomes. The science of happiness is one such domain that holds significant applied importance due to its links to well-being and evidence that happiness can be cultivated through interventions. However, as with many constructs, the unique ways in which individuals experience happiness present major challenges for designing personalized DMHIs.

European ILD registry algorithm for self-assessment in interstitial lung diseases (eurILDreg ASA-ILD).

PLoS One

January 2025

European IPF/ILD Registry and Biobank (eurIPFreg/bank, eurILDreg/bank), Giessen, Germany.

Background And Aims: Predicting progression and prognosis in Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD), especially Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PPF), remains a challenge. Integrating patient-centered measurements is essential for earlier and safer detection of disease progression. Home monitoring through e-health technologies, such as spirometry and oximetry connected to smartphone applications, holds promise for early detection of ILD progression or acute exacerbations, enabling timely therapeutic interventions.
