Bridging research and practice: a new book on scientific writing for oral health professionals @RSUinfo www.rsu.lv/en/news/brid...

AI in dental imaging often means using black-box models trained on unknown data. What if clinicians could build their own AI models: no coding, using local data and clinical criteria? This is what we tested. Full text: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Thanks to the Latvian Pediatric Dent Soc for inviting me to speak on AI in dentistry. Key message: evidence is still almost entirely "in-vitro" type. Clinical adoption is distant (workflow-integration anyone?), & we still lack RCT measuring impact on patients & society.

This Thursday in Jeddah KSA we’re diving deep into AI that’s actually usable in clinic RIGHT NOW (and the hype to avoid). LLMs, diagnostics, treatment planning & more. sidc.org.sa/jeddah/

7-country analysis finds #waterfluoridation doesn't harm children's IQ—slight positive effect observed. Maternal urine studies claiming fluoride-IQ links fail basic EPA standards. doi.org/10.1111/cdoe...

“How Good to Finally Have Options!” Why Every Parent, and Every Patient, Deserves Real Choice in Dental Care, by @nicolainnes // @IlzeMal Paper doi.org/10.1111/cdoe... ninnes101.substack.com/cp/174815278

Our team presents new findings on early childhood caries prevalence, machine learning for risk modelling, and fluoride attitudes at #EADPH2025 in Rome / @ilzemaldupa

Parents prefer minimally invasive dental care for children, finding it less traumatic. They emphasize importance of clear communication & access to treatment options. The shift towards patient-centered care is crucial for improving children's #oralhealth onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

interesting: use of LLMs for scientific writing in retracted papers by @kayvankousha arxiv.org/pdf/2509.09596

Today at the RSU Graduate School we discussed about publications in dental & medical research, and how to avoid predatory publishers. the simpliest way? Check thinkchecksubmit.org

DataverseLV research data repository launches : The Latvian national research data repository DataverseLV is now available for use by researchers from Latvian scientific institutions #opendata #fairdata dataverse.lv/en/

Among EU countries, the share of people with unmet dental care needs was the highest in Greece (27.1%), Latvia (16.5%) and Romania (16.2%). The lowest were observed in Malta (0.4%), Germany (0.9%) and Croatia (1.1%).

#IADR2025 This Saturday, Room 116 Time 08:00 - 10:00 we will discuss AI in Dental Research

This is the easiest way to identify a high-quality AI research paper. Looks for this section: (this is from www.nature.com/articles/s43...)

What should editors and reviewers look for in a dental AI paper? We outline 4 key criteria: - Clinical relevance; - Robust methods & transparency; - Reproducibility; - Ethical reporting avoiding overstatements 📄 full paper doi.org/10.1016/j.jd...
