The role of artificial intelligence in shaping dentistry through advancement in data acquisition, clinical practice, education, and research
January 2026
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming dentistry through innovations in clinical practice, education, and research. Machine learning, and deep learning in particular, support disease diagnosis,...
An “anaerobic invisible” genetically engineered bacterium for periodontitis treatment through temporal modulation on microenvironment
January 2026
Periodontitis is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory disease, primarily driven by microbial dysbiosis and subsequent dysregulation of host immune responses. Therefore, targeting the pathogenesis,...
Anterior disc displacement in the temporomandibular joint and orthodontic treatment
January 2026
Anterior disc displacement (ADD) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is highly prevalent and difficult to treat. It significantly affects craniofacial structures and functions, as well as orthodontic...
Therapeutic applications of cell membrane-coated nanoparticles in oral diseases: Opportunities, challenges, and future perspectives
January 2026
Nanotechnology holds great promise for disease therapy; however, the therapeutic efficacy of nanoparticles (NPs) is often limited by rapid recognition and clearance by the immune system. Recent studies...
Raman spectral fingerprinting links molecular and transcriptomic changes in mesenchymal stem cells during skeletal aging
January 2026
The functional decline of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) critically contributes to skeletal aging. However, rapid and label-free methods to assess this decline remain limited. Here, we...
Salivary large extracellular vesicle associated bacterial DNA reflects periodontal disease status and non-surgical periodontal therapy response
January 2026
Periodontitis is associated with microbial dysbiosis and an imbalanced host response. We investigated whether salivary large extracellular vesicles (EVs) associated bacterial DNA can reflect periodontal...

Effect of print parameters on the accuracy and fit of 3D-printed resin-based ceramic crowns
January 2026
This study evaluated the influence of print angle and layer thickness on the accuracy and fit of resin-based ceramic crowns fabricated using digital light processing (DLP). A mandibular first molar...
Two-dimensional FeCu-metal-organic-framework boosts peroxidase activity for antibacterial application
January 2026
The overuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, posing a serious threat to human health and increasing the medical burden. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown...
