Background: A bibliometric analysis uses statistical and mathematical methods to analyze the published literature, extracting meaningful information that helps to identify trends, assess research impact, and visualize key data patterns through graphs and trendlines.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to list the top 50 papers on clear aligners, evaluate them critically and apply a bibliometric analysis to investigate the achievements and prospects in this field of study.
Material And Methods: A computerized database search (Scopus) was conducted on September 24, 2023, to find articles on clear aligners published in the scientific literature between 2013 and 2023. The top 50 cited manuscripts were chosen. Author-based characteristics were obtained from the Scopus database. The dataset from Clarivate™ InCites Benchmarking & Analytics™ and Journal Citation Reports (JCR) was used to determine parameters based on journals and articles. To improve the visual analysis, the keywords were collected systematically from the chosen articles.
Results: The database search produced a directory of the 50 most often cited articles out of 1,405 papers. Of the 50 most frequently cited works on clear aligners, 35 (70.0%) were original research studies and 15 (30.0%) were reviews. The keyword-network analysis indicated 'removable orthodontic appliance' as the most important and repetitive keyword.
Conclusions: The results of the present bibliometric study indicated that clear aligner therapy (CAT)-related papers received increasing citations. The study determined the most influential articles by highlighting their authors and the journals in which the papers were published.

Aim: This study explored the ethical boundaries and data-sharing practices in artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced nursing from the perspective of Arab nurses.
Background: Although AI offers advancements in clinical decision-making and operational efficiency, it also presents challenges such as ethical dilemmas, data privacy concerns, and technical issues. These challenges are being addressed through continuous education, the development of robust ethical guidelines, and the implementation of transparent data-sharing practices METHODS: A qualitative approach was employed, adhering to the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) guidelines.
Objectives: To report the prevalence of pulp stones (PSs) in molars of orthodontically treated patients, investigate the impact of orthodontic treatment (ORT) using clear aligners (CAs) and fixed appliances (FAs) on the development of PSs in molars, and investigate the association between the incidence of PSs during ORT and the studied variables.
Materials And Methods: Pretreatment orthopantomograms (OPGs) of 600 patients were assessed. Of those, posttreatment OPGs of 272 patients were available.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has promoted application and development of self-driving cars. However, when self-driving cars encounter ethical dilemma, it is still hard to make a satisficing and clear decision-making by these present moral rules and mechanisms, which makes people distrust in self-driving cars in real life. It is necessary to design a computational and multi-factor decision-making model for self-driving cars.
