Diagnostic Performance of ChatGPT-4o in Analyzing Oral Mucosal Lesions: A Comparative Study with Experts.

this pilot study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ChatGPT-4o in analyzing oral mucosal lesions from clinical images. : a total of 110 clinical images, including 100 pathological lesions and 10 healthy mucosal images, were retrieved from Google Images and analyzed by ChatGPT-4o using a standardized prompt. An expert panel of five clinicians established a reference diagnosis, categorizing lesions as benign or malignant.

Implant-Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Patient With EEC Syndrome Using Additively Manufactured Custom-Made Subperiosteal Implants: A Case Report.

Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft (EEC) syndrome is a rare genetic disorder presenting significant challenges for dental rehabilitation due to severe maxillary atrophy and altered anatomy. This report describes a 23-year-old female with EEC syndrome successfully rehabilitated using a custom-made subperiosteal implant. Despite multiple grafting procedures, conventional implants were not viable.

TAS2R38 gene methylation is associated with syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and clinical symptoms.

TAS2R38 is the T2R receptor primarily associated with the innate immune response of the respiratory system. It activates a response mediated by nitric oxide (NO), which has been shown to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2. TAS2R38 polymorphisms (SNPs) that decrease receptor functionality contributing to individual differences in susceptibility to airway infections.

Primary reconstruction of total maxillectomy defect with additively manufactured subperiosteal implant and fibula free flap: a case report.

Background: Total maxillectomy for malignant tumors presents significant challenges for functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. Advances in digital planning and additive manufacturing have reintroduced subperiosteal implants as a promising solution for primary reconstructions.

Case Report: This report details the case of a 59-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma of the hard palate extending contralaterally, treated with a total maxillectomy and primary reconstruction using an osteomyocutaneous fibula free flap combined with a custom-made, additively manufactured subperiosteal implant.

Sensorimotor integration and faces recognition in a model of altered face sensory information: Neurophysiological study in patients with dentofacial deformities.

Objective: To explore the excitability and sensory motor integration of the face and masticatory primary motor cortex (M1), and recognition of face expressions in individuals with dentofacial deformities (IDD).

Methods: Short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), short-afferent inhibition (SAI) of masticatory and face M1, the blink reflex and face expressions recognition (FER) ability were assessed in 18 healthy subjects (HS) (24.56 ± 1.

Custom Fabricated Subperiosteal Implants for Sectional Rehabilitation of Severely Atrophic Maxillae: A Technical Note.

Severe atrophy in isolated posterior maxillary sectors poses challenges for dental rehabilitation, especially in partially dentate patients where traditional graftless techniques are unsuitable. This study retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of sectional rehabilitation in 16 consecutive patients with Cawood and Howell class V to VI atrophy treated with 21 custom fabricated subperiosteal implants. Patients were followed for a median of 36 months (interquartile range: 24 to 48).

A Novel Virtual Planned-Orthodontic-Surgical Approach for Proportional Condylectomy in Condylar Hyperplasia.

Condylectomy is a delicate and intricate procedure commonly employed in the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, osteochondromas, condylar hyperplasia, hemimandibular hyperplasia, and other pathologies affecting the condylar region. The advent of surgical cutting guides has introduced a new dimension to condylectomy procedures as they enable surgeons to plan and execute precise cuts with a heightened level of accuracy. In the literature already exists cases of cutting guide-based condylectomy, but they only depend on the mere mirroring procedure in virtual planning, which has accuracy limitations because it does not consider asymmetry of peri-condylar structures at the level of the ramus, body, and mandibular angle.

Enhancing AI Chatbot Responses in Health Care: The SMART Prompt Structure in Head and Neck Surgery.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of prompt construction on the quality of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot responses in the context of head and neck surgery.

Study Design: Observational and evaluative study.

Setting: An international collaboration involving 16 researchers from 11 European centers specializing in head and neck surgery.

Evaluating AI-Generated informed consent documents in oral surgery: A comparative study of ChatGPT-4, Bard gemini advanced, and human-written consents.

This study evaluates the quality and readability of informed consent documents generated by AI platforms ChatGPT-4 and Bard Gemini Advanced compared to those written by a first-year oral surgery resident for common oral surgery procedures. The evaluation, conducted by 18 experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons, assessed consents for accuracy, completeness, readability, and overall quality. ChatGPT-4 consistently outperformed both Bard and human-written consents.

Validity and reliability of the Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders for Italian-speaking patients with olfactory dysfunction.

Objective: To translate and validate an Italian version of the Questionnaire of Olfactory Disorders (IT-QOD).

Materials And Methods: This is a prospective, multicentre study that involved patients with olfactory dysfunction (OD). Both cases and controls underwent administration of the IT-QOD, Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) and psychophysical evaluation of orthonasal and retronasal olfactory function.

Three-dimensional evaluation of symmetry in facial palsy reanimation using stereophotogrammetric devices: A series of 15 cases.

Facial palsy can severely compromise quality of life, significantly altering the harmony and symmetry of the face, which can be restored by surgical rehabilitation. The aim of the study was the quantification of facial symmetry following facial reanimation. Fifteen consecutive adult patients were surgically treated through triple innervation for reanimation of flaccid unilateral facial paralysis (contralateral facial nerve, masseteric nerve, and hypoglossal nerve) and fascia lata graft for definition of the nasolabial sulcus.
