Digitalization is reshaping how private dental clinics organize the patient journey, yet the psychological mechanism that converts omnichannel experience into trust and recommendation behavior remains underexplained in emerging markets. This study developed and tested an integrated model grounded in the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework, in which seven omnichannel journey design attributes act as stimuli, three basic psychological need satisfactions specified by self-determination theory (aut

Despite their potential to enhance evidence-based clinical decision-making, adoption among dental students remains limited because of insufficient trust in AI-assisted diagnosis and inadequate understanding of the economic value of AI-supported dental care. This study investigated the effects of perceived diagnostic usefulness, trust, and digital financial literacy on behavioural intention and AI-CDSS adoption among dental students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 350 dental students

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an autologous biomaterial extensively used in regenerative dentistry because of its sustained release of growth factors. Among its various forms, standard PRF (S-PRF) and advanced PRF (A-PRF) differ in their centrifugation protocols, which may affect their biological properties and regenerative potential. This study aimed to compare the release of growth factors from sticky bone prepared using S-PRF and A-PRF. This in vitro experimental study was conducted using blo

Nanotechnology has advanced human health and medicine through the development of multifunctional biomaterials. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) possess antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making them promising candidates for oral disease prevention and management. Functionalization with apigenin may further enhance their therapeutic potential for disease management and wellbeing. To prepare apigenin-functionalized ZnO NPs and evaluate their cytotoxicity, antimicrobial

Dental care centers are increasingly encountering artificial intelligence applications for radiographic interpretation, disease detection, treatment planning, patient communication, clinical documentation, triage, scheduling, and workflow coordination. These technologies may extend professional capabilities by identifying patterns, prioritizing information, and automating selected tasks. Their practical value, however, depends on how effectively they are embedded within clinical and managerial p
