International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus and hypertension, two of the most prevalent metabolic disorders worldwide, exert profound and progressive effects on multiple physiological systems. While their systemic complications are well documented, their subtle yet clinically significant impact on oral structures, particularly the dental pulp, remains underexplored.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the functional responsiveness of dental pulp nerves in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and systemic hypertension, and to compare the findings with responses from healthy individuals, using an Electric pulp tester (EPT) as a diagnostic tool.

Methods: A total of 600 teeth from 75 adult patients (25 diabetic, 25 …

Artificial Intelligence Versus Human Dental Expertise In Diagnosing Periapical Pathosis On Periapical Radiographs: A Multicenter Study, Fatma E.A Hassanen, Radwa R. Hussein, Mohamed Riad Elgarhy, Shaymaa Mohamed Maher, Marwa Ezz, Ahmed Hassen, Sherif Heidar, Amr Edress, Asmaa Abou-Bakr

Dentistry

Periapical pathosis in periapical radiographs must be properly diagnosed for the success of endodontic treatment but is often muddled by 2D imaging limitations and subjective interpretation. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a solution, but whether the diagnostic granularity of AI versus human clinicians in everyday clinical practice has been adequately explored remains to be addressed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ChatGPT-5 in detecting periapical radiographic abnormalities compared with the three-expert consensus reference standard. Methods: In this diagnostic accuracy retrospective study, 270 periapical radiographs were independently read by a large language model (ChatGPT-5) and a …

Student Works (2020-2029)

Introduction: Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the mucosa of the oral cavity. Oral lichenoid reactions/ lesions share many clinical and histopathological features with oral lichen planus, and represent a response to extrinsic or causative factors (drugs, allergens). Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and histopathological features of oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid reactions/ lesions. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess the clinical and histopathological features of patients diagnosed with oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid reaction/ lesions. This study also sought to investigate the association between …
