Dual-model deep learning for detecting and classifying dental abscesses, cysts, and tumours on orthopantomograms: a histopathology-referenced diagnostic study

Differential diagnosis of periapical and intra-osseous jaw lesions is a recurring clinical challenge that still depends on invasive, costly histopathological examination. Deep learning applied to routine panoramic radiography offers a potential non-invasive triage aid, but most p...

Evaluation of relative safety and therapeutic efficacy of antihyperlipidemic drug regimens used alone or in combination in cardiovascular disease: randomized controlled study

Abstract Background Statin monotherapy is a cornerstone of lipid-lowering therapy for reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardiovascular risk in patients with dyslipidemia. However, many patients at moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk fail to achieve recomme...

Association of drinking water fluoride with dental fluorosis and caries among schoolchildren in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia

Fluoride is essential for caries prevention; however, excessive exposure during enamel development increases the risk of dental fluorosis. In Saudi Arabia, fluoride concentrations vary across water sources due to environmental and treatment-related factors, yet updated regional a...
