Volume 26 Issue 4, December 2025
In this issue:
This issue opens with a series of papers on the impact of artificial intelligence in dentistry, from AI bots supporting orthodontic patient education and AI-driven caries prediction to the real-world performance of imaging algorithms and systematic evaluations of deep-learning diagnostic tools. Beyond AI, the collection highlights the evidence surrounding supervised toothbrushing programmes, paediatric behaviour management, oral–systemic health links, and the wellbeing of dental students. Together, these papers offer a concise snapshot of how digital innovation, public health priorities, and everyday clinical decision-making intersect across modern dental practice.
