Fatima S, Andrabi S M, Alam S et al. Effect of foraminal enlargement on postoperative pain in primary endodontic treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Endod 2025; 51: 1536–1548. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate how foraminal enlargement (FE) affects postoperative pain following primary endodontic treatment. A systematic literature search was conducted across four major databases— PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library—to identify randomized controlled trials evaluating the impact of foraminal enlargement (FE) versus non-foraminal enlargement (NFE) on postoperative pain. The risk of bias in the included studies was evaluated using the Revised Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool for Randomized Trials. A meta-analysis was planned to quantitatively assess the impact of foraminal enlargement (FE) on pain during the first 7 days following treatment Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving a total of 802 participants met the inclusion criteria. The risk-of-bias assessment indicated that two studies were at high risk, four raised some concerns, and two were at low risk. Meta-analysis demonstrated that foraminal enlargement (FE) was associated with significantly greater postoperative pain compared to non-foraminal enlargement (NFE) at 12 h (SMD = 0.79, 95% CI [0.30, 1.28], p = 0.002; I² = 28%), 24 hours (SMD = 0.74, 95% CI [0.12, 1.36], p = 0.02; I² = 89%), and 48 h (SMD = 2.90, 95% CI [0.23, 5.57], p = 0.03; I² = 98%). This meta-analysis indicates that postoperative pain is markedly elevated following foraminal enlargement (FE) compared to non-foraminal enlargement (NFE) during the initial 48-hour period, although such pain is generally mild to moderate and transient. Future investigations are warranted to delineate the impact of FE on essential clinical outcomes, including long-term success rates, and to determine whether its prospective advantages outweigh the attendant short-term increase in discomfort.
评论:Fatima S, Andrabi S M, Alam S等。初级根管治疗中椎间孔扩大对术后疼痛的影响:系统回顾和荟萃分析。[J] end2025;51: 1536 - 1548。目的:本系统综述和荟萃分析的目的是研究椎间孔扩大(FE)如何影响初级根管治疗后的术后疼痛。数据来源:对四个主要数据库(PubMed/MEDLINE、Scopus、Web of Science和Cochrane library)进行了系统的文献检索,以确定评估椎间孔增大(FE)与非椎间孔增大(NFE)对术后疼痛影响的随机对照试验。方法:使用修订后的Cochrane随机试验风险偏倚工具评估纳入研究的偏倚风险。计划进行荟萃分析,定量评估椎间孔扩大(FE)对治疗后前7天疼痛的影响。结果:8项随机对照试验(rct)共涉及802名受试者,符合纳入标准。偏倚风险评估表明,两项研究处于高风险,四项研究引起了一些关注,两项研究处于低风险。meta分析显示,在12小时(SMD = 0.79, 95% CI [0.30, 1.28], p = 0.002; I²= 28%)、24小时(SMD = 0.74, 95% CI [0.12, 1.36], p = 0.02; I²= 89%)和48小时(SMD = 2.90, 95% CI [0.23, 5.57], p = 0.03; I²= 98%),椎间孔增大(FE)与非椎间孔增大(NFE)相比,术后疼痛明显加重。结论:这项荟萃分析表明,在最初的48小时内,椎间孔扩大(FE)术后疼痛明显高于非椎间孔扩大(NFE),尽管这种疼痛通常是轻度至中度和短暂的。未来的研究有必要描述FE对基本临床结果的影响,包括长期成功率,并确定其前景优势是否超过伴随而来的短期不适增加。

Santonocito S, Cicciù M, Ronsivalle V. Evaluation of the impact of AI-based chatbot on orthodontic patient education: a preliminary randomized controlled trial. Clin Oral Investig 2025; 29:278. Randomized controlled trial (RCT). A sample of 100 patients was enrolled in the study between June 2023 and August 2024. Participants were randomly allocated into two intervention groups of 50 each, using a computer-generated sequence to maintain a 1:1 ratio. The Chatbot group received oral hygiene (OH) and orthodontic treatment guidance via a chatbot accessed through a QR code, while the control group was given standard educational material by means of information leaflets compiled by the leading scientific societies in orthodontics. Each main group was further divided into two subgroups: Leaflet-fixed therapy (LF, n = 27), Leaflet-aligner (LA, n = 23), Chatbot-fixed therapy (CF, n = 24), and Chatbot-aligner (CA, n = 26). The chatbot was built on the open-source Botpress platform and was refined using expert-reviewed training materials. When the participant opens the chatbot application, the interface displays a menu containing 4 questions, with the 3rd question focusing on home oral hygiene procedures. The evaluation included a clinical examination at baseline (T0) and after 5 weeks of starting orthodontic treatment (T1), along with a questionnaire at T1 assessing participants’ oral hygiene knowledge and compliance. Modified gingival index (MGI) and plaque index (PI) were used for clinical examination of oral hygiene. The questionnaire comprised four domains: Knowledge Evaluation (KE_S), Understanding Scale (US_S), Compliance and Adherence Scale (CAAS_S), and Satisfaction Scale (SS_S). It employed a 5-point Likert scale, with scores ranging from 0 (strongly negative) to 4 (strongly positive), with intermediate values representing negative, neutral, and positive responses. MGI and PI showed a statistically significant increase from T0 to T1 in both groups. While comparing the change in MGI from the start of treatment between the groups, a statistically significant increase was found in the control group than the chatbot group. Further analysis reported statistically lower increase in MGI in the CF and CA groups as compared to the LF and LA subgroups. There were no differences between the control and chatbot groups with respect to questionnaire section scores. The study concluded that the use of an AI-based chatbot positively influences patient compliance with oral hygiene maneuvers. Furthermore, it could not be established whether the AI-based chatbot enhanced the patient’s knowledge, understanding, and satisfaction with the information received compared to the information leaflets.

Among various fluoride delivery methods, such as toothpaste, varnishes, and water fluoridation, mouthrinses have gained attention for their versatility, ease of use, and potential to complement other preventive strategies. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of mouthrinses in preventing and arresting caries by synthesizing data from existing systematic reviews. Five electronic databases, named PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science and Scopus, were searched to identify systematic reviews that assessed the effect of mouthrinses containing chemical, herbal, or natural agents in comparison to standard oral care, placebo, water, or saline in the development or arrest of crown or root caries. Eligible reviews were selected, and data were extracted and assessed for bias. Three systematic reviews with meta-analysis and four without were included, with a total of eighty-three initial studies (moderate overlap). Supervised regular use of fluoride mouthrinse can reduce coronal and root caries initiation and progression in permanent teeth for an observational period of 6 months to 4 years. The only significant effect was in favor of the fluoride mouthrinse for crown caries at 36 months and root caries at 48 months follow-up time. Mouthrinses effectively reduce the occurrence of crown caries in moderate- and high-risk patients, as well as root caries in older adults. However, their anticaries benefit in populations with additional fluoride exposure remains uncertain. Given the great variability in the design, inclusion criteria set and conduct of the eligible systematic reviews, it is impossible to reach specific conclusions concerning the efficacy of any single product. However, it seems that fluoride mouthrinses are effective in preventing and/or arresting dental caries in moderate and high caries risk patients and may reduce initiation of root caries in older individuals.
目的:在各种氟化物输送方法中,如牙膏、清漆和氟化水,漱口水因其通用性、易用性和补充其他预防策略的潜力而受到关注。目的是通过综合现有系统综述的数据来评估漱口水在预防和抑制龋齿方面的有效性。方法:检索PubMed、Cochrane中央对照试验登记册、Cochrane系统评价数据库、Web of Science和Scopus等5个电子数据库,以确定与标准口腔护理、安慰剂、水或生理盐水相比,含有化学、草药或天然制剂的漱口水在牙冠或牙根龋形成或抑制方面的效果。选择符合条件的综述,提取数据并评估偏倚。结果:纳入了3篇有荟萃分析的系统综述和4篇没有荟萃分析的系统综述,共有83项初始研究(中度重叠)。在6个月至4年的观察期内,在监督下定期使用含氟漱口水可以减少恒牙冠状和根状龋齿的发生和发展。唯一显著的效果是氟化物漱口水在36个月时对冠龋和48个月时对根龋有利。结论:口腔清洁可有效降低中高危患者冠状龋的发生,以及老年人牙根龋的发生。然而,它们的抗药效果在额外接触氟化物的人群中是否有效仍不确定。临床意义:考虑到系统评价的设计、纳入标准设置和实施存在很大的可变性,不可能就任何单一产品的疗效得出具体的结论。然而,氟化物漱口水在预防和/或抑制中、高风险患者的龋齿方面似乎是有效的,并可能减少老年人牙根龋齿的发生。

Wu Y, Jia M, Fang Y, Duangthip D, Chu C H, Gao S S. Use machine learning to predict the treatment outcome of early childhood caries. BMC Oral Health 2025; 25: 389. This was a retrospective secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial published in 2020. No new participants or patient involvement were included. This study used the available data from 880 children, contributing 4157 carious tooth surfaces assessed at 30 months. These data were drawn from an original community-based RCT in Hong Kong (baseline N = 1070) that evaluated fluoride and silver interventions for arresting ECC. Six algorithms were used and compared, including logistic regression (LR), naive Bayes (NB), support-vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and XGBoost. A surface-level 70:30 train: test split was used. SMOTE was applied to address class imbalance. Models were tuned and evaluated using 1000 bootstrap resamples. Performance metrics were reported as accuracy, recall, precision, F1 score, AUROC, and Brier score. Model interpretability was explored through SHAP analysis to rank variable importance and visualize feature effects. All models achieved acceptable discrimination. Metrics ranged as follows: accuracy 0.674–0.740; recall 0.731–0.809; precision 0.762–0.802; F1 0.741–0.804; AUROC 0.771–0.859 (RF and XGBoost ≈ 0.86); Brier 0.134–0.227. SHAP interpretation indicated that tooth and surface location of caries, newly developed dmfs, baseline dmfs, caregiver-assisted brushing, and visible plaque index contributed most to the model’s predictions, while the fluoride and silver intervention ranked mid-to-low in importance. The original study, however, highlighted tooth and surface location of caries, newly developed dmfs, and daily snack intake as key effect modifiers influencing caries-arrest outcomes. Machine learning models, specifically ensemble tree-based methods, can discriminate which surfaces arrest by 30 months using multidomain inputs spanning clinical, behavioral, and socioeconomic features. However, participant-level splitting was not performed, allowing potential clustering leakage. External validation and detailed calibration analyses were also lacking. These methodological constraints likely inflated model performance and currently limit its generalizability and readiness for clinical implementation.
评论:吴艳,贾敏,方艳,段志平,褚春华,高树生。利用机器学习预测儿童早期龋齿的治疗结果。BMC口腔健康2025;25: 389。设计:这是对2020年发表的一项随机对照试验数据的回顾性二次分析。没有新的参与者或患者参与。病例选择:本研究使用了880名儿童的现有数据,在30个月时评估了4157个龋面。这些数据来自香港一项基于社区的原始随机对照试验(基线N = 1070),该试验评估了氟化物和白银干预措施对抑制ECC的效果。数据分析:采用逻辑回归(LR)、朴素贝叶斯(NB)、支持向量机(SVM)、决策树(DT)、随机森林(RF)、XGBoost等6种算法进行比较。采用表面水平70:30列车:测试劈裂。SMOTE是用来解决职业不平衡的。使用1000个bootstrap样本对模型进行调整和评估。报告的性能指标为准确性、召回率、精确度、F1评分、AUROC和Brier评分。通过SHAP分析探索模型的可解释性,对变量重要性进行排序,并将特征效果可视化。结果:所有模型均达到可接受的判别。指标范围如下:精度0.674-0.740;记得0.731 - -0.809;精度0.762 - -0.802;F1 0.741 - -0.804;AUROC 0.771-0.859 (RF和XGBoost≈0.86);荆棘0.134 - -0.227。SHAP解释表明,龋齿的牙齿和表面位置、新开发的dmfs、基线dmfs、护理人员辅助刷牙和可见菌斑指数对模型的预测贡献最大,而氟化物和银干预的重要性排名中低。然而,最初的研究强调了龋齿的牙齿和表面位置,新开发的dmfs和每日零食摄入量是影响龋齿抑制结果的关键效果调节因素。结论:机器学习模型,特别是基于集成树的方法,可以使用跨越临床、行为和社会经济特征的多域输入来区分30个月的表面逮捕。然而,没有执行参与者水平的分裂,允许潜在的聚类泄漏。外部验证和详细的校准分析也缺乏。这些方法上的限制可能夸大了模型的性能,目前限制了它的推广和临床实施的准备。

This randomised controlled trial sought to compare the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) to sodium fluoride varnish (NaF) for the prevention of caries in anterior primary teeth for young children. The inclusion criteria were children aged 3–4 years of age. Children were excluded if they had co-operative challenges or were on long-term medications. Children with active caries were included, lesions were considered active if they were soft on probing. The setting was kindergartens in Hong Kong. The children received either 38% SDF or 5% NaF applied to their six upper anterior primary teeth at six-monthly intervals. The primary outcome measure was the mean number of new carious surfaces per child at 30 months follow-up. Intention-to-treat analysis was used with the Mann-Whitney U test applied for the analysis of the primary outcome. Overall, 730 children were randomised, 621 (85%) were followed up and analysed at the 30 months end point for the presence of new carious surfaces (dmfs). Not all children seen at baseline were analysed, however of those that were their caries experience was similar with a mean dmfs of 0.47 ± 1.35 for the SDF group and 0.48 ± 1.53 for the NaF group. At 30 months, there were less new lesions for those in the SDF group (0.35 ± 1.09), than the NaF group (0.54 ± 1.50) (p = 0.048). The authors concluded that SDF was more effective than NaF in preventing new carious surfaces at 30 months for anterior caries in primary teeth of young children.

The risk of bias (RoB) assessment is a critical aspect of systematic reviews, yet a lack of standardization in RoB criteria persists in the endodontic literature. This study aimed to evaluate the RoB tools used in systematic reviews (SRs) of in vitro endodontic studies to synthesize the most commonly employed criteria. A comprehensive search of five databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) was conducted, identifying SRs with RoB evaluation. Data were extracted independently by two reviewers, focusing on the criteria used for RoB assessment. All SRs were categorized by main objective and the evaluation test. The study protocol was registered in the Open Science Framework ( https://osf.io/azd8u/ ). Of the 10,409 records initially identified, 142 systematic reviews (SRs) published between January 2018 and September 2024 met the inclusion criteria. These SRs employed 36 distinct RoB criteria, with the most common being blinding (40.9%), sample size (34.5%), adequate statistical analysis (31%), randomization (30.3%), and standardized sample preparation and handling (21.8%). Inconsistencies in the application of RoB criteria were evident, with many SRs employing tools adapted from clinical studies that were not fully suitable for the unique methodological requirements of in vitro research. Although some SRs attempted to adapt criteria from other studies, these adaptations often fell short of addressing the specific needs of in vitro studies. The absence of standardized tools compromises the reliability of current SRs and limits their comparability with future research. The observed inconsistencies in RoB assessments across SRs of in vitro endodontic studies highlight the critical need for a standardized tool specifically designed for this context. Such a tool should account for the methodological nuances of in vitro research, including the relevance of criteria like blinding and sample size calculation, to enhance the reliability, reproducibility, and overall relevance of future SRs.
目的:偏倚风险(RoB)评估是系统评价的一个关键方面,然而在牙髓学文献中仍然缺乏标准化的RoB标准。本研究旨在评估体外牙髓研究系统评价(SRs)中使用的RoB工具,以合成最常用的标准。方法:综合检索PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、Scopus、Cochrane Library等5个数据库,采用RoB评价法对ssr进行鉴定。数据由两位审稿人独立提取,重点关注用于RoB评估的标准。根据主要目标和评价方法对所有的SRs进行分类。研究方案已在开放科学框架(https://osf.io/azd8u/)中注册。结果:在最初确定的10409条记录中,2018年1月至2024年9月期间发表的142篇系统评价(SRs)符合纳入标准。这些SRs采用36个不同的RoB标准,其中最常见的是盲法(40.9%)、样本量(34.5%)、充分的统计分析(31%)、随机化(30.3%)和标准化的样品制备和处理(21.8%)。讨论:RoB标准应用的不一致性很明显,许多SRs采用的工具改编自临床研究,并不完全适合体外研究的独特方法学要求。尽管一些SRs试图适应其他研究的标准,但这些适应往往不能满足体外研究的特定需求。标准化工具的缺乏损害了当前SRs的可靠性,并限制了它们与未来研究的可比性。结论:在体外根管研究中观察到的不同SRs的RoB评估的不一致性突出了对专门为这种情况设计的标准化工具的迫切需要。这样的工具应该考虑到体外研究方法上的细微差别,包括盲法和样本量计算等标准的相关性,以提高未来SRs的可靠性、可重复性和总体相关性。

This systematic review evaluated experimental evidence on how incorporating flowable dental composites affects the bond strength of dental cementation. This systematic review, following PRISMA guidelines, assessed in vitro studies (2003–2025) on the effect of flowable composites on cementation bond strength using a comprehensive database search, QUIN Tool for bias assessment, Begg’s and Egger’s tests for publication bias, and random-effects meta-analysis with SMD and I² statistics. This systematic review included eight in vitro studies published between 2003 and 2025. The meta-analysis found no statistically significant differences among the various bond strength test methods. Although the shear bond strength (SBS) test demonstrated a significant effect, the high heterogeneity among studies limits the reliability of this result. Etchable ceramics showed favourable effect sizes, but again, the high heterogeneity reduces the certainty of this finding. No significant difference was observed between self-etch and self-adhesive resin cements; however, self-etch resin cements tended to perform better in terms of bond strength. Nevertheless, the substantial heterogeneity in both adhesive groups indicates notable variability across studies. For the dual-cured group, a statistically significant standardized mean difference was observed, suggesting a positive effect of the dual-cured luting cement compared to the light-cured luting cement. Flowable dental composites generally perform comparably to conventional resin cements, with dual-cured and self-etch resin cements showing a tendency toward improved bond strength. However, variability across studies limits the certainty of these results. Further standardized in vitro studies are needed to confirm these findings and guide clinical application.
目的:本综述系统评价了可流动牙科复合材料如何影响牙体胶结强度的实验证据。材料和方法:本系统综述,遵循PRISMA指南,通过综合数据库搜索、偏倚评估的QUIN工具、发表偏倚的Begg和Egger检验以及随机效应荟萃分析(SMD和I²统计),评估了可流动复合材料对胶结强度影响的体外研究(2003-2025)。结果:本系统综述包括2003年至2025年间发表的8项体外研究。meta分析发现不同粘结强度测试方法间无统计学差异。虽然剪切粘结强度(SBS)测试显示了显著的效果,但研究之间的高度异质性限制了该结果的可靠性。可蚀刻陶瓷显示出有利的效应大小,但同样,高异质性降低了这一发现的确定性。自蚀刻树脂胶结剂与自粘树脂胶结剂之间无显著性差异;然而,自蚀刻树脂胶结剂在粘结强度方面表现更好。然而,两种粘接剂组的大量异质性表明研究中存在显著的差异。对于双固化组,观察到具有统计学意义的标准化平均差异,表明双固化luting水泥与光固化luting水泥相比具有积极作用。结论:流动牙科复合材料的粘结强度与常规树脂胶结物相当,双固化和自蚀刻树脂胶结物的粘结强度有提高的趋势。然而,研究之间的差异限制了这些结果的确定性。需要进一步标准化的体外研究来证实这些发现并指导临床应用。

BMC Oral Health 2025;25: 159. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12903-025-05521-5 . A double blinded 18-month randomised controlled trial was carried out to compare the clinical performance of fibre reinforced resin composites compared to conventional nanohybrid resin composites in restoring Class II MOD cavities. Participants were allocated to one of three groups: Group 1 with short glass fibre reinforced resin composite, Group 2 with polyethylene fibre reinforced resin composite and Group 3 with conventional nanohybrid resin composite. A principal investigator carried out the restorative procedures for all participants. Participants in the study were enrolled from the educational clinic in Cairo University, Egypt. A total of 45 participants with a mean age of 32.3 ± 7.3 years were included. All participants had class II MOD carious lesions in vital posterior teeth with ICDAS scores of 3,4 or 5. Additionally only those with good oral hygiene, a healthy periodontal status and normal occlusion were included. The study excluded pregnant patients, as well as those with systemic disease or evidence of parafunctional habits. Patients with hypersensitivity, allergy to materials used, secondary caries or delayed response to sensibility testing were also excluded. Outcomes were assessed by two examiners at the baseline and at the following time intervals: 3, 6, 12, 18 months using Modified USPHS criteria. The primary outcome assessed was marginal adaptation, followed by gross fracture, marginal discolouration, colour match and recurrent caries. The clinical significance was determined based on relative risk. The chi-Square test compared between groups with significance set at P ≤ 0.016, and Cochran’s Q test compared within groups with significance at P ≤ 0.005, both adjusted using Bonferroni correction. The study was conducted with a 95% confidence level and an 80% statistical power. The study had a 97.7% retention rate with all but one patient successfully completing the 18 month follow up period. Colour match was the only outcome that showed a statistically significant difference between the groups, with short glass fibre reinforced restorations displaying some colour discrepancies. Other outcomes such as marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, recurrent caries and gross fracture showed no significant differences between groups. Age, gender and tooth distribution also showed no significant statistical differences. The clinical performance of fibre-reinforced resin composite restorations are similar and comparable to nanohybrid composite restorations over an 18-month duration. Short glass fibre-reinforced restorations displayed variations in colour match, indicating that aesthetic outcomes should be carefully considered.
