Determinants of Clinical Decision Making under Uncertainty in Dentistry: A Scoping Review

Clinical decision-making for diagnosing and treating oral and dental diseases consolidates multiple sources of complex information, yet individual clinical judgements are often made intuitively on limited heuristics to simplify decision making, which may lead to errors harmful to patients.

Mapping the Use of Artificial Intelligence–Based Image Analysis for Clinical Decision‐Making in Dentistry: A Scoping Review

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging field in dentistry. AI is gradually being integrated into dentistry to improve clinical dental practice. The aims of this scoping review were to investigate the application of AI in image analysis for decision‐making in clinical dentistry and identify trends and research gaps in the current literature.

Rampant caries: What it is and what it isn’t

The term “rampant caries” was first coined in the early1920s to describe the severe tooth decay that was com-mon in children from poor families. 1 In the 1940s and1950s, there was a significant increase in the prevalence ofearly childhood caries (ECC, often presenting with “ram-pant” pattern) in the United States, and later this trendexpanded worldwide.

Harnessing the power of collective intelligence in dentistry: a pilot study in Victoria, Australia

In many dental settings, diagnosis and treatment planning is the responsibility of a single clinician, and this process is inevitably influenced by the clinician’s own heuristics and biases.

A Roadmap for the Rational Use of Biomarkers in Oral Disease Screening

Oral health has witnessed a significant transformation with the integration of biomarkers in early-diagnostic processes. This article briefly reviews the types of biomarkers used in the screening and early detection of oral diseases, particularly oral cancer, periodontal diseases, and dental caries, with an emphasis on molecular biomarkers.
