An assessment of blended learning of Stomatology for non-stomatology medical students
BMC Medical Education · 2026 · Q1 · SJR 1.00
A blended learning approach combining online lectures and in-person sessions significantly improved theoretical test scores (17.76 vs. 16.61, p < 0.001) and student satisfaction (98.56% vs. 97.34%, p < 0.0001) for non-dental medical students studying stomatology, compared to traditional methods.
Dentoalveolar surgery education in Chinese undergraduate dental schools: a national survey of curriculum structure, simulation training and assessment
BMC Medical Education · 2026 · Q1 · SJR 1.00
A national survey of 49 Chinese dental schools reveals that while dentoalveolar surgery is integrated into oral and maxillofacial surgery courses, primarily in the fourth year, there's significant variation in teaching hours (4-36h theory, 4-36+h practice). Core content covers basic extractions and anesthesia, with 61% offering progressive simulation training. However, complex procedure simulation and interactive digital tools are underutilized.
Cost-effectiveness of app-based teleconsultation between professionals versus in-person care for the diagnosis of malignant and potentially malignant oral lesions in the Brazilian Unified Health System
BMC Health Services Research · 2026 · Q1 · SJR 1.00
App-based teleconsultation for diagnosing oral lesions in Brazil's public health system (SUS) is cost-saving (R$128.36 per patient) and slightly more effective (0.0011 QALYs gained) than in-person referrals.
Self‐Perceived Confidence in Pediatric Dental Procedures Among Final‐Year Dental Students
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry · 2026 · Q1 · Open access
Final-year dental students (n=46) report high confidence in basic pediatric procedures like fissure sealants but lower confidence in complex ones like pulpotomy and stainless steel crowns.
The impact of microscopic access cavity preparation training on naked-eye operative skills of undergraduate dental students
BMC Oral Health · 2026 · Q1
Microscope-assisted training significantly improved undergraduate dental students' naked-eye access cavity preparation quality and efficiency, with the experimental group showing better scores in access location, cavity form, and tissue preservation, and completing the task faster.
Development and Initial Usability Evaluation of SSEndoSim, a Free, Web-Based Endodontic Diagnostic Simulator: Cross-Sectional Study
JMIR Human Factors · 2026 · Q2
SSEndoSim, a free, web-based endodontic diagnostic simulator for dental students, achieved a high usability score (mean 75.30/100) and perceived educational value (mean 4.62/5) in an initial evaluation.
Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding digital dentistry among Turkish dentists: a cross-sectional study
Scientific Reports · 2026 · Q1 · Open access
A survey of 225 Turkish dentists found that while attitudes towards digital dentistry were generally favorable, this did not consistently translate into clinical adoption, with public hospital dentists showing lower knowledge and practice scores.
Does Hydrogen Peroxide/Colloidal‐Silver Reduce the Aerosolized Bacteria Generated During Dental Procedures?
International Journal of Dental Hygiene · 2026 · Q2 · Open access
A 500 ppm hydrogen peroxide/colloidal silver solution significantly reduced aerosolized Staphylococcus aureus contamination by up to 99% at distances of 50-200 cm compared to sterile water (p < 0.001).
Visualizing the future: impact of holographic visualization on teaching minimally invasive veneer preparation: a randomized controlled trial
BMC Medical Education · 2026 · Q1 · SJR 1.00
Holographic 3D visualization did not significantly improve minimally invasive veneer preparation quality compared to 2D photos in dental students (n=60), but it showed a trend towards better spatial understanding and was highly accepted by students.
Establishment, Implementation, and Sustainability of Digital Dentistry in Dental Schools
Journal of Dental Education · 2026 · Q2 · Open access
Most dental schools struggle with long-term financial and faculty succession planning for digital dentistry, despite successful initial implementation.
ToothTok trends in U.S.-based TikTok search results: a cross-sectional content analysis of popular teeth-whitening videos and oral health risks
Critical Public Health · 2026 · Q2 · Open access
40% of popular U.S. TikTok teeth-whitening videos are evidence-based and safe, while 32% are misleading/harmful or lack sufficient evidence, with only 14% of creators being dental professionals.
The lived experience of dentists facing crisis: from suffering to resilience and growth
BMC Psychology · 2026 · Q1 · SJR 1.00

Effect of a tele-orthodontics platform on knowledge, attitudes, and practices among orthodontic professionals in Yemen: a single-arm pretest–posttest intervention study
BMC Oral Health · 2026 · Q1
A one-year tele-orthodontics platform intervention in Yemen significantly increased knowledge scores by 0.43 (p=0.007) among 80 orthodontic professionals, with females showing the largest gains (d=0.74), but did not alter their attitudes or practices.
Perceptual Evaluation of 3D-Printed Typodont Teeth with Comparable Cutting Forces
Journal of Functional Biomaterials · 2026 · Q2
A dental resin composite 3D-printed typodont material demonstrated cutting forces statistically equivalent to extracted enamel and received the most favorable perception scores from dental students (n=46).
