Abstract: Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly entering aesthetic practice through facial analysis, three-dimensional (3D) scanning, outcome simulation and patient communication tools. Dentistry already works within a mature digital workflow (intraoral scanning, cone-beam computed tomography, digital smile design), which makes it a natural setting for AI-assisted facial planning in orofacial harmonization. Whether these tools are accurate, fair and safe enough for clinical decisions, however, remains uncertain.......

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; deep learning; facial analysis; 3D facial scanning; orofacial harmonization; smile design; algorithmic bias.

Abstract: Postoperative haemorrhage following head-and-neck surgery can create a time-critical airway emergency in which oedema, restricted mouth opening and blood contamination compromise airway management. We describe awake flexible fibreoptic nasotracheal intubation in a 25-year-old man requiring emergency re-exploration for postoperative haemorrhage following left hemiglossectomy. The procedure was undertaken at approximately 4 a.m. in an anxious patient with marked facial and tongue oedema, mouth opening limited to one finger breadth and haemodynamic evidence of significant blood loss.....

Abstract: Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with significant postoperative pain despite its minimally invasive nature. Intraperitoneal ropivacaine has been proposed as an effective multimodal analgesic technique to reduce postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and facilitate early recovery.
Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized double-blind study was conducted on 60 ASA I-II patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients received either intraperitoneal ropivacaine (3 mg/kg diluted to 100 mL) or 100 mL normal saline.....

Abstract: Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) such as semaglutide and the dual agonist tirzepatide produce mean weight reductions of 15% to 21% in pivotal trials and have become one of the fastest-growing drug classes in the United States. Rapid fat loss is accompanied by facial deflation, laxity and an aged appearance popularly called “Ozempic face”. Because the lower third of the face, the lips and the masticatory system are the daily territory of dentistry, dental professionals are often the first clinicians to observe these changes, yet the dental literature has barely addressed them......

Abstract: Background: Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are widely used in contemporary orthodontics. The anterior palate is a useful site for skeletal anchorage; however, accurate mini-implant placement is important to avoid anatomical injury and achieve the planned position. Three-dimensional (3D) planning and computer-aided surgical guides may improve the transfer of a virtual plan to the experimental model.
Aim: To compare......
