RESUMO
The absence of any organ of the facial region causes an asymmetrical appearance. This asymmetrical appearance can cause social dilemmas for the patient. The maxillofacial technician, the prosthodontist, and the patient must work closely together to fabricate an epithesis. On the implants, a superstructure is first constructed. Most of it is made up of rings and a bar that joins the implants. The firm acrylic resin base of the epithesis is equipped with clips that serve as the epithesis's retention mechanism. The actual epithesis is made of silicone rubber. The epithesis has to be shaped and colored with extreme caution. An appropriate substitute is an auricular prosthesis that is implant-retained. Microtia, deformity, malformation, and loss of the external ear, either partially or completely, can result from a variety of inherited genetic conditions. To evaluate the symmetry of both ears, artificial intelligence (AI) software is used. An Instagram lens Gridset by crystalwavesxx was used to correct and verify the bilateral symmetry of the patient. This case report primarily focuses on the fabrication of implant-supported auricular prostheses using AI.
RESUMO
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of machines to execute tasks that traditionally require human intelligence. Healthcare AI is evolving and has a highly promising future. The main uses in dentistry are patient management, diagnosis and treatment planning, and administrative tasks. Consequently, this AI system facilitates the acquisition of familiarity with this technology for every dentist, as it possesses the potential to synergistically complement forthcoming revolutionary advancements in the field of dentistry. This review aims to explore and analyze the several applications of AI within the field of dentistry.
RESUMO
Ozone is utilized in dentistry as ozonated oils, ozonated water, and gaseous ozone. The application of ozone in all specialties of dentistry has been demonstrated to be biocompatible. It has been demonstrated to encourage the remineralization of recently carious teeth, and it is utilized in dental caries and intracanal irrigants in endodontic treatment. Herpes virus infection, avascular osteonecrosis of the jaw, and alveolitis have all been treated with it. It can be applied as a supplement in the surgical and ongoing stages of periodontal disease and also hinders plaque formation. The purpose of the present review article is to discuss the numerous application of ozone in dentistry.
RESUMO
Reasons for the failed endodontic teeth which had an extensive restoration can be attributed to the multiple materials that were used in it. Various post-core materials that are commonly used are compared for fracture resistance in the current study. Fourty maxillary incisors that needed root canal therapy were allocated into four groups of 10 each. Using adhesive resin cement, teeth were repaired in three experimental groups with ceramic fiber post, glass post, and stainless steel post. All these posts with composite post and core. Samples that still had their coronal structure were considered as controls that were without any post-cores. Every sample was ready for the best abutment preparation. Using the universal testing machine, all the specimens were examined for the compressive strength at 130° until fracture was experienced. The data for the force levels at which the fracture occurred were noted and compared for significance using analysis of variance (ANOVA), keeping P < 0.05 as significant. The fracture resistance values were significantly variable among all the groups, with P < 0.05. The stainless steel post exhibited the highest strength before it succumbed to the fracture. The glass posts showed better restorability and were esthetically acceptable. The least fracture resistance was demonstrated by teeth that had no post-core, highlighting the necessity of strengthening the tooth. Among all the experimental groups, the one that demonstrated the highest fracture resistance was composite core and steel posts.
RESUMO
An artificial intelligence (AI) program called ChatGPT that generates text in response to typed commands has proven to be highly popular, as evidenced by the fact that OpenAI makes it available online. The goal of the present investigation was to investigate ChatGPT's potential applications as an outstanding instance of large language models (LLMs) in the fields of public dental health schooling, writing for academic use, research in public dental health, and clinical practice in public dental health based on the available data. Importantly, the goals of the current review included locating any drawbacks and issues that might be connected to using ChatGPT in the previously mentioned contexts in healthcare settings. Using search phrases including chatGPT, implications, artificial intelligence (AI), public health dentistry, public health, practice in public health dentistry, education in public health dentistry, academic writing in public health dentistry, etc., a thorough search was carried out on the Pubmed database, the Embase database, the Ovid database, the Global Health database, PsycINFO, and the Web of Science. The dates of publication were not restricted. Systematic searches were carried out for all publications according to inclusion and exclusion criteria between March 31, 2018, and March 31, 2023. Eighty-four papers were obtained through a literature search using search terms. Sixteen similar and duplicate papers were excluded and 68 distinct articles were initially selected. Thirty-three articles were excluded after reviewing abstracts and titles. Thirty-five papers were selected, for which full text was managed. Four extra papers were found manually from references. Thirty-nine articles with full texts were eligible for the study. Eighteen inadequate articles are excluded from the final 21 studies that were finally selected for systemic review. According to previously published studies, ChatGPT has demonstrated its effectiveness in helping scholars with the authoring of scientific research and dental studies. If the right structures are created, ChatGPT can offer suitable responses and more time to concentrate on the phase of experimentation for scientists. Risks include prejudice in the training data, undervaluing human skills, the possibility of fraud in science, as well as legal and reproducibility concerns. It was concluded that practice considering ChatGPT's potential significance, the research's uniqueness, and the premise-the activity of the human brain-remains. While there is no question about the superiority of incorporating ChatGPT into the practice of public health dentistry, it does not, in any way, take the place of a dentist since clinical practice involves more than just making diagnoses; it also involves relating to clinical findings and providing individualized patient care. Even though AI can be useful in a number of ways, a dentist must ultimately make the decision because dentistry is a field that involves several disciplines.
