The problems in dental age diagnosis emerged that necessitated the development of artificial intelligence which offers better computerized methods. AI systems with integrated machine learning and deep learning improve the ability of dental diagnosis from huge data sets by identifying patterns. This retrospective study had a sample size of 350 files from the pediatric division. OPGs were collected from the patient’s files and sent to the AI programmer, who utilized CNN (Convolutional Neural Netwo

The advent of additive manufacturing has transformed restorative dentistry, offering clinicians alternative methods for the fabrication of crowns and bridges that are faster, less wasteful, and potentially more precise than conventional techniques. Stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), and masked LCD printing are examples of 3D printing technologies that have shown great promise in creating both temporary and permanent restorations with acceptable mechanical characteristics an

Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) represents a rapidly progressive and highly destructive periodontal disorder characterized by severe alveolar bone loss, dysregulated host response, and pronounced inflammatory tissue breakdown disproportionate to the amount of microbial biofilm present. Traditional periodontal therapy has largely focused on mechanical removal of pathogenic biofilm; however, overwhelming evidence now supports the concept that host inflammatory dysregulation, rather than bacterial q

Pediatric dental specialists have to perform extensive treatment interventions that involve surgical approaches and conservative dental therapy programs when managing mandibular fractures and dental trauma in the children. Mandibular fractures are common among Saudi children; hence, the pediatric dentists must be aware of the treatment modalities. The present study is a cross-sectional study using a closed-ended questionnaire, and its reliability and validity were tested. The questionnaire inclu

Although several regional studies in Saudi Arabia have documented the prevalence and patterns of TDIs, limited information exists on treatment timelines, management outcomes, and contributing risk factors in pediatric patients treated at Riyadh Elm University (REU) clinics. To determine the prevalence, types, risk factors, management patterns, and clinical outcomes of TDIs among pediatric patients treated at REU dental clinics over a five-year period and to evaluate the association between demog

Immature permanent teeth exhibiting pulpal necrosis present unique clinical challenges that differ significantly from those seen in mature dentitions, primarily due to open apices, thin dentinal walls, and compromised structural integrity during function. For decades, the standard of care for managing such teeth involved apexification procedures using calcium hydroxide or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to induce apical barrier formation, thereby facilitating obturation. However, apexification
