Predicting maximum occlusal force and tongue pressure using decision tree analysis in patients diagnosed with head and neck tumors
Preserving and restoring oral functions, especially mastication and swallowing, is important to the quality of life of patients being treated for head and neck tumors. Studies that help predict maximum occlusal force and tongue pressure during prosthetic treatment, necessary for providing comprehensive, appropriate treatment and encouraging patient adherence and confidence are lacking.

Rotational path removable partial mandibular resection prostheses: A case series of patients with mandibular symphyseal defects
Rotational path removable partial mandibular resection prostheses (MRPs) offer advantages in the management of patients with acquired symphyseal defects of the mandible, including enhanced esthetics achieved through a reduced number of clasps, the provision of rigid retainers less prone to distortion compared with flexible alternatives, and the ability to engage prominent proximal undercuts in patients lacking buccal undercuts. Additionally, removable partial MRPs represent a suitable treatment option in scenarios where the cost of implant-retained prostheses is prohibitive or in patients where implant therapy is contraind...

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven dental education: Exploring the role of chatbots in a clinical learning environment
Despite their widespread use in various educational contexts, the integration of chatbots into dental clinical education has not been thoroughly investigated. The noted discrepancy signifies a lack of understanding of how chatbots could enhance the personalized and interactive learning experiences of predoctoral dental students.

Digitalization: New era of dentistry
The visual appeal of teeth and smiles significantly influences both how others perceive individuals and their self-image and confidence. The subjective nature of dental esthetics, varying greatly among patients and dental professionals, has made digital smile design tools essential for creating natural and personalized esthetics. Contemporary digital methods and workflows encompass all clinical phases, from diagnosis to the creation of a smile aligned with the patient's facial features, and the completion of the restoratives.

Custom nasal obturator for velopharyngeal dysfunction: Digitizing the fabrication process
Nasal obturation using a removable medical device is a suitable treatment option for patients with velopharyngeal dysfunction. In the United Kingdom in recent years, the use of nasal obturation has increased because of the successful collaborations among the Speech and Language Therapy, Restorative Dentistry, and Maxillofacial departments. However, fabrication of the devices requires specialist skill and considerable time. A digital process which facilitates the rapid, cost effective production of a light, comfortable, unobtrusive nasal obturator is described. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)
