Background Indirect pulp capping (IDPC) is a preferred treatment for pulp preservation in primary teeth. However, the survival rate of IDPC in primary teeth and impact factors is still equivocal. Aims To evaluate the survival rate of IDPC in primary teeth with a deep carious lesion approximating the pulp but without irreversible pulpitis or periapical disease. Methods The medical records of children who were diagnosed with severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) and received IDPC under dental general anaesthesia from January 2015 to December 2020 were screened and collected. The shared frailty model was used to explore potential factors affecting the success rate of IDPC in primary teeth. Results There were 352 children with S ECC and 1,197 teeth were included in the study. A total of 47 children had IDPC that failed in the follow-up period (67 teeth). The survival rates of the teeth treated with IDPC at 48 months was 82.3%. The risk of IDPC primary tooth treatment failure in mandibular teeth was 2.35 times that of maxillary teeth and risk of failure in lesions with mesial surface involvement was 2.76 times higher than those without mesial surface involvement. Conclusion In the present study, the overall survival rate of IDPC did not decrease remarkably with time, regardless of anterior or posterior teeth. The tooth arch position and whether the mesial surface was involved in the carious lesion were found to influence the outcome of IDPC.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving area, having had a transformative effect within some areas of medicine and dentistry. In dentistry, AI systems are contributing to clinical decision-making, diagnostics and treatment planning. Ongoing advances in AI technology will lead to further expansion of its existing applications and more widespread use within the field of dentistry. The predicted transformation of current practice within dentistry brought about by AI necessitates the education of undergraduate dental students on the topic of AI. AI will act as a complementary tool to clinical expertise and skill, rather than a replacement. AI education frameworks should integrate with existing traditional dental education. It is important that dental students develop a sound understanding of the ethical considerations surrounding AI, ensuring its safe and responsible use. This article aims to consider the status of current undergraduate dental education and the possible impact of AI, examining both the challenges and opportunities, and the practicalities, of incorporating AI into existing undergraduate dental curricula. Understanding and envisioning the future landscape shaped by AI will allow for development of a future dental workforce who are skilled, confident and responsible AI users.
