Background/purpose
Telemedicine has gained the popularity during COVID-19 pandemic. “Teledentistry” as the dental application of telemedicine was also with increased attention. The bibliometric analysis was employed to examine the global research trends and the current implementation status of teledentistry.
Materials and methods
Titles and subjects were searched in the Web of Science database by using the keywords “teledentistry OR oral telemedicine OR dental telemedicine OR telemedicine in dentistry” in the category of Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine. Documents were collected from the establishment date up to December 31, 2023. Microsoft Excel was used for the descriptive and statistical analyses. The data were exhibited with visualization by VOSviewer.
Results
A total of 146 articles were identified for bibliometric analysis. An upward trend in the number of publications was evident. The statistical analysis indicated a notable increased teledentistry publications affected by COVID-19 pandemic (P < 0.01). The applications of teledentistry were mainly related to clinical practice (89.73%), such as oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, dental caries, oral mucosal lesions, and dental emergencies. For geographic distributions, the United States lead with 46 publications (34%) by corresponding authors listed in the article. The keyword network analysis highlighted the prominent research areas and the changes influenced by the pandemic and technological development, respectively.
Conclusion
This bibliometric study provided an overview of the progress, trends and current directions for teledentistry in the fields of dentistry, oral surgery and medicine.

Tooth extraction has been avoided in patients receiving antiresorptive agent (ARA) therapy. This study aimed to investigate dental findings associated with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) development in patients.
Materials and methods
First, in patients treated with high-dose ARAs, the relationship between dental findings and MRONJ development was examined. Next, in patients with MRONJ undergoing surgery, the relationship between dental findings and MRONJ occurring at a site distant from the initial site was examined.
Results
MRONJ occurred in 13 of 172 patients (80 of 3725 teeth) during observation. Multiple tooth loss, periodontal ligament space enlargement, alveolar bone loss, periapical osteosclerosis, and local infection symptoms were associated with MRONJ development. Tooth extraction significantly reduced MRONJ development. Regarding other-site recurrence, new MRONJ developed at other sites in 54 of 357 patients with MRONJ (171 of 5038 teeth). Multiple tooth loss, apical lesions, periodontal ligament space enlargement, and periapical osteosclerosis were significantly associated with MRONJ development. In patients with malignant tumors, tooth extraction significantly reduced the subsequent incidence of MRONJ, while in patients with osteoporosis, there was no difference in the incidence of MRONJ between patients with and without tooth extraction.
Conclusion
MRONJ was more likely to develop from teeth with local infections. Extraction of teeth with local infection in patients with malignancy may be more effective than tooth preservation in preventing MRONJ.

External cervical resorption (ECR) is an aggressive disease characterized by resorption of the tooth root structure. While the pericanalar resorption-resistant sheet (PRRS) impedes ECR progression towards the pulp, the underlying mechanisms of its protective role in human teeth remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the pathology of ECR in a 31-year-old female patient by employing radiographic, histological, and immunohistochemical analyses of an extracted tooth. Histological examination revealed that the PRRS comprised dentin, predentin, and reparative bone-like tissue. Notably, clastic cells were observed on the surfaces of all three tissues within the same specimens. Immunohistochemical staining for cathepsin K demonstrated diminished resorptive activity of clastic cells on predentin compared to dentin and bone-like tissue. These findings suggest a potential role for predentin in attenuating clastic cell activity, potentially serving as the final barrier safeguarding the pulp tissue.

Background/purpose
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping clinical practice in dentistry. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of global trends and research hotspots on the application of AI to dentistry.
Materials and methods
Studies on AI in dentistry published between 2000 and 2023 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric parameters were extracted and bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, Pajek, and CiteSpace software.
Results
A total of 651 publications were identified, 88.7 % of which were published after 2019. Publications originating from the United States and China accounted for 34.5 % of the total. The Charité Medical University of Berlin was the institution with the highest number of publications, and Schwendicke and Krois were the most active authors in the field. The Journal of Dentistry had the highest citation count. The focus of AI in dentistry primarily centered on the analysis of imaging data and the dental diseases most frequently associated with AI were periodontitis, bone fractures, and dental caries. The dental AI applications most frequently discussed since 2019 included neural networks, medical devices, clinical decision support systems, head and neck cancer, support vector machine, geometric deep learning, and precision medicine.
Conclusion
Research on AI in dentistry is experiencing explosive growth. The prevailing research emphasis and anticipated future development involve the establishment of medical devices and clinical decision support systems based on innovative AI algorithms to advance precision dentistry. This study provides dentists with valuable insights into this field.

Background/purpose
The dental adhesive market is constantly evolving to meet the demands of dentists and patients, but new products and upgrades should be rigorously evaluated before being used in clinical practice. This study investigated the physicomechanical properties and dentin bonding efficacy of a newly upgraded universal adhesive compared to its predecessor.
Materials and methods
Twenty-four molars were divided into four groups (n = 6/group) based on adhesive (new vs. predecessor) and application mode [self-etch (SE) vs. etch-and-rinse (ER)] for evaluating their dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS), failure pattern, and bonding interface. Additional thirty-six molars’ crowns were perpendicularly sectioned to obtain flat mid-coronal dentin discs. The opposing dentin surfaces of each disc received contrasting treatments (new/predecessor adhesive applied in SE/ER mode), resulting in six interventions. The bonded discs (n = 6/intervention) were used to assess the adhesives’ survival probability employing a double-sided μTBS test. The other physicomechanical properties examined were adhesives’ oxygen inhibition layer (OIL), viscosity, hardness, elastic modulus, degree of conversion (DC), and in-situ DC.
Results
Both adhesive versions showed similar μTBS (P > 0.05), failure pattern (P > 0.05), and survival probability (P > 0.008). ER mode promoted resin tag formation and exhibited a slender adhesive layer for both adhesives. The newer adhesive version showed a thinner adhesive layer in general with narrower OIL (P < 0.001), less viscosity (P < 0.001), higher hardness (P < 0.05), elastic modulus (P < 0.05), DC (P < 0.001), and in-situ DC (P < 0.001).
Conclusion
While the newly updated adhesive had superior physicomechanical properties with more fluidity, its dentin bonding efficacy and survival probability were comparable to its predecessor.
