This laboratory study evaluated the impact of radiation on dentin microhardness and the effectiveness of various topical fluoride treatments in mitigating these effects. One hundred dentin specimens from extracted human teeth were irradiated with a cumulative dose of 60 Gy, simulating therapeutic conditions. Post-irradiation, specimens received weekly applications of silver diamine fluoride (SDF), SDF with potassium iodide, or sodium fluoride varnishes with and without additional compounds. Dentin microhardness was measured using the Knoop hardness test at three key phases: baseline, immediately after reaching a cumulative irradiation dose of 60 Gy, and weekly for five weeks following repeated fluoride applications. At baseline, the average Knoop Hardness Number (KHN) was 57.6 ± 3.9. After irradiation, the average KHN decreased significantly to 41.2 ± 8.1, reflecting an approximate 30% reduction in dentin hardness across all groups (p < 0.0001). Five weeks of weekly fluoride treatments led to partial recovery of microhardness, with average KHN values ranging from 42.4 to 54.3, but none of the groups returned to baseline hardness levels. Notably, no significant differences were found among the fluoride treatments in their ability to enhance microhardness. These findings underscore the detrimental effects of radiation therapy on dentin integrity and emphasize the need for targeted dental management strategies. While fluoride applications provide some protective benefit, their limitations highlight the necessity of comprehensive approaches to prevent radiation-related dental deterioration in head and neck cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":38153,"journal":{"name":"Swiss dental journal","volume":"135 3","pages":"16-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145193466","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}

In this article, we propose a framework to inform the discourse on the responsible use of LLMs in dental peer review. We conducted a cross-sectional review of peer review policies from the top 50 dental journals, based on their 2024 Journal Impact Factor, to assess current guidance on LLM use. Our analysis revealed variability across dental journals: some journals permit restricted LLM use under specific conditions, while many either prohibit their use or lack explicit policies. Key concerns regarding LLM use identified by the authors include potential breaches of confidentiality, ambiguity in authorship, reduced reviewer accountability, and inherent limitations of LLMs in terms of domainspecific expertise and factual accuracy. Our proposed framework addresses confidentiality safeguards, suggested appropriate LLM applications, areas requiring caution, disclosure requirements, and accountability standards. It emphasizes that reviewers retain full responsibility for all submitted content, irrespective of LLM assistance. To protect confidentiality, the framework encourages offline or locally hosted LLMs. It also recommends regular policy reviews and reviewer training. This framework aims to support the thoughtful adoption of LLMs in dental research publishing. When employed judiciously, LLMs offer potential benefits in improving review clarity and efficiency, particularly for reviewers writing in a non-native language. However, their use must be grounded in clear ethical principles to ensure the integrity of dental peer review.","PeriodicalId":38153,"journal":{"name":"Swiss dental journal","volume":"135 3","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145126107","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}

This technique uses a combination of mini/micro instruments with magnification loupes or microscopes for optimal root debridement without flap elevation. This systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluates the efficacy of MINST in managing Stage III/IV periodontitis.Methods: A review protocol was created according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRIS-MA) guidelines. Although the PRISMA guideline was followed, this review protocol was not registered in PROS-PERO. Online search was conducted on three databases, PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar to find articles published in English from 2013 up to June 2023. Only RCTs using MINST as an intervention were included.Results: Out of 129 studies, 6 RCTs involving a total of 223 patients met the criteria. The included studies then divided into 3 groups based on intervention comparisons; MINST vs minimally invasive surgical treatment (MIST), MINST with/without adjunct material, and MINST vs conventional non-surgical periodontal therapy (CNST). Minimally invasive non-surgical therapy (MINST) showed comparable efficacy to MIST in the treatment of single intrabony defects with significant probing depth (PD) reduction and clinical attachment level (CAL) gain. After one session of full-mouth MINST, a minimal residual pocket was achieved, and the use of adjunct materials effectively enhanced the treatment outcome.Conclusion: Moderate evidence supports MINST as an effective and minimally traumatic approach for managing advanced periodontitis, offering comparable clinical outcomes to surgical therapy. Further high-quality trials with long-term follow-up are recommended.","PeriodicalId":38153,"journal":{"name":"Swiss dental journal","volume":"135 2","pages":"72-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144691795","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}

This exploratory, cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the extent to which injury risk is associated with individual training motivation and whether this risk differs between training and competition contexts. A nationwide survey in Switzerland was conducted with N = 440 martial artists using a questionnaire that covered training motivation, injuries, mouthguard usage, and competition participation. A total of N = 419 participants were included in the final analysis. Of those surveyed, 65.4% reported having sustained at least one injury during training, with male athletes being significantly more affected than female athletes (P < 0.001). Individuals practicing martial arts as their primary occupation (93.8%, N = 30) and those who regularly participated in competitions (87.5%, N = 73) were particularly at risk. The most frequently injured body part during training was the leg (74.8%), whereas injuries to the head were most common during competitions (68.1%). Most injuries involved soft tissue damage. While 75% of participants reported using a mouthguard during training, only 11.5% used a professionally manufactured one. Dental injuries occurred across all groups, regardless of the type of mouthguard used.

The present study aims to determine the impact of toothpaste abrasiveness (REA-value) and brushing force on enamel wear after erosion. 140 enamel samples from bovine teeth were divided into seven groups (N = 20). Each group was assigned a different toothpaste with varying levels of abrasiveness (groups 1+2: Candida Parodin (REA 2), groups 3+4: Candida Multicare (REA 9), and groups 5+6: Candida White Micro Crystals (REA 19)). The samples were first exposed to a citric acid solution (pH 2.60; 2 min) to simulate an erosive attack and then subjected to brushing with the assigned toothpaste using an automatic brushing machine at 1- and 2-N brushing force. Samples of group 7 were left unbrushed and served as the control group. The erosive/abrasive cycling was repeated 10 times. Enamel wear was measured profilometrically. Higher erosive/abrasive wear was observed in all toothpaste groups compared to the control. In all toothpaste groups, erosive/abrasive wear was significantly higher at 2-N brushing force than 1 N (P < 0.05). At 1-N and 2-N force, Candida Parodin showed lower enamel wear than Candida Multicare and Candida White Micro Crystals. The results showed that toothpastes with higher REA values result in greater abrasion of eroded enamel, but only up to a certain value. Eroded tooth structure is more prone to abrasion at higher contact pressure, but REA value has a greater influence. Patients with erosion should use toothpaste with low REA value and avoid excessive contact pressure.","PeriodicalId":38153,"journal":{"name":"Swiss dental journal","volume":"135 2","pages":"27-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144020322","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}
