“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/...

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...

What is the state of AI in dentistry? At the 33rd OMD Congress in Lisbon, I addressed this question and showed how AI excels in segmentation tasks, moderately useful for some diagnostics but struggles with predictions—and I shared how we can tackle these challenges

New U.S. authorities may consider removing fluoride from drinking water, raising concerns about public health and caries prevention. Evidence shows fluoride is key in reducing dental caries

The COVID-19 pandemic generated lots of research data—great for future decisions, right? Well, it’s complicated...Only 21.5% is accessible & 46.7% interoperable. To prepare for future crises, we need better sharing&management. Kudos Ahmad + @raittioe.bsky.social et al.
