The PICO question addressed was: “In implant dentistry, how does the performance of AI-driven approaches compare to standard references or conventional methods performed by human practitioners?” A comprehensive search was conducted across databases such as PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, PROSPERO, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar until August 2024. Two independent reviewers conducted the screening, data extraction, quality assessment, and certainty evaluation. After screening 12 studies included for qualitative analysis. The majority of studies utilized deep learning (DL) models, and some studies employed traditional machine learning (TML) or simple rule-based algorithms. Most systematic reviews found AI applications and performance promising when compared to human intelligence. However, several challenges were identified, particularly in AI’s accuracy in measuring bone width and height, detecting the inferior alveolar canal, treatment planning, and predicting osseointegration. Although AI shows promise in detecting anatomical landmarks (such as the maxillary sinus), identifying implant systems, and supporting clinical decisions, current models still face significant limitations and should not yet be considered as standalone tools capable of replacing human practitioners.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100364,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry Review","volume":"5 3","pages":"Article 100159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144523161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These changes open the way to more effective, promoting better health outcomes and improving rehabilitation prognosis. This review aimed to answer the question: Does the incorporation of Cu into Ti and its alloys significantly enhance the antibacterial effect, including biofilm inhibition and bacterial viability reduction, compared to pure titanium or copper-free alloys? The materials and methods were based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA 2020) registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF) (osf.io/qdu37). The search strategy was followed by PICOS, and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool was used to analyze the risk of bias. Once the search had been carried out, 1187 articles were found. After a thorough reading of titles, abstracts, and then the full text, 11 were included. The addition of Cu to Ti and its alloys has shown promising antibacterial potential, with safe use for the human body, with concentrations of 3 and 5 wt. % showing a promising effect. This systematic review highlights the significant potential of Cu, demonstrated by the various benefits Cu offers to combat peri‑implant pathogenic bacteria. However, it also emphasizes the need for continued research to determine a consensus on the ideal concentration and the most effective incorporation methods, which combine antibacterial and pro-osteogenic behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100364,"journal":{"name":"Dentistry Review","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143885944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditionally, such approaches have involved use of conventional fixed orthodontic appliances in-preparation, followed by orthognathic surgery, and subsequent refinement of the occlusion with orthodontic treatment after surgery. Surgery-first approaches to treatment of skeletal facial discrepancies exist and have been demonstrated to provide excellent treatment outcomes with often shorter overall treatment times. The use of clear aligner therapy rather than conventional fixed orthodontic appliances has also been described in the treatment of various skeletal facial discrepancies. As providers offer surgery-first and clear aligner treatment options more frequently, a review of the available literature regarding the combination of the two modalities is needed, particularly for treatment of the anterior open bite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objectives&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;The primary objectives of this report are to systematically review the available literature regarding the use of clear aligner therapy and a surgery-first approach to treatment of the anterior open bite and to provide a case example.

The secondary objective was to determine the source of PIMs prescriptions based on the prescribers’ specialty and professional status.</p></div><div><h3>METHODS</h3><p>The most recent Beers List and STOPP/START criteria were studied, and PIMs identified. A retrospective electronic chart review of patients at DCG aged 65 and above was performed for calendar years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Search queries were also generated for the patients’ medical history, along with PIMs prescribers’ specialty and professional status.</p></div><div><h3>RESULTS</h3><p>Of 10675 geriatric patients identified, 6.2% (n=662) received PIMs prescriptions. Of those, 73.7% had an ASA III status. 77% received one PIM prescription, while others received between two to six. NSAIDs were the most commonly prescribed PIM (60.1% of patients), followed by opioids (32.5% of patients). A dramatic drop in prescribing NSAIDs was detected in recent years. Surprisingly, a similar pattern was not observed with opioids. Both NSAIDs and opioids were largely provided by oral-maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) followed by restorative dentistry and periodontics. Benzodiazepines were mostly prescribed by endodontics, while tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), muscle relaxants and anticonvulsants were most commonly prescribed by oral medicine.
