  Multidimensional Evaluation of AI-Generated Patient Information on Cone Beam–Computed Tomography

  Öçbe, Melisa; Akçay, Hülya Çerçi; Sır, Eda; Taş, Çağan; Erbalta, Rana

  This study aimed to conduct a multidimensional evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot–generated patient information regarding cone beam–computed tomography (CBCT) in dentistry, with specific focus on readability, informational quality, reliability, and patient-centered suitability. Twenty frequently asked, patient-oriented questions related to CBCT were systematically identified from a public online forum. Each question was submitted to four large language model–based chatbots (ChatGPT-4o, Gemini Advanced, Claude Sonnet 4, and Microsoft Copilot) under standardized conditions. Generated responses were evaluated using validated instruments, including the DISCERN tool and Global Quality Scale (GQS) for information quality and reliability, as well as Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level, and Gunning Fog Index for readability. Patient-centeredness was further assessed using PEMAT-Understandability and PEMAT-Actionability scores. Comparative analyses were performed using linear mixed-effects models. Significant differences were observed among chatbots across all evaluated domains (p < 0.05). While advanced models demonstrated higher informational quality and reliability, their responses frequently exceeded recommended health literacy thresholds. Readability, transparency, and actionability varied substantially between platforms. No chatbot consistently met all criteria for optimal patient-directed communication. AI chatbots can provide generally accurate information on CBCT; however, variability in readability, reliability, and educational suitability limits their standalone use for patient education. Careful integration with professional oversight is essential to ensure safe and accessible AI-supported communication in dentomaxillofacial radiology. This study provides the first multidimensional, comparative evaluation of leading AI chatbots in delivering patient-oriented information about cone beam–computed tomography. It shows critical gaps between informational accuracy and health literacy suitability. This study reveals the need for professional oversight when using AI for patient education in dentomaxillofacial radiology.

  Meta-analysis of laser-assisted periodontal therapy (2015–2025)

  Sunar, Ayşegül; Sır, Eda; Taş, Çağan; Tekin, Enes

  This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the adjunctive clinical efficacy of laser-assisted periodontal therapy compared with conventional scaling and root planing (SRP). The primary research question was whether laser systems provide additional improvements in clinical attachment level (CAL) and probing depth (PD) in patients with periodontitis. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for studies published between January 2015 and October 2025 following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Randomized controlled trials and prospective clinical studies comparing laser-assisted periodontal therapy with SRP alone were included. Primary outcomes were changes in CAL and PD with a minimum follow-up of 3 months. Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model when sufficient quantitative data were available. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2.0 tool, and evidence certainty was evaluated using GRADE. Twenty-six studies were included in the qualitative synthesis, and quantitative meta-analysis was feasible only for Er: YAG lasers. The pooled mean difference in CAL gain favored Er: YAG adjunctive therapy (MD = 0.319 mm; 95% CI: −0.097 to 0.735 mm), without statistical significance. Moderate heterogeneity was observed (I² ≈ 54%). Evidence for diode lasers, Nd: YAG lasers, and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy showed modest short-term effects but lacked standardized data for quantitative pooling. Laser-assisted periodontal therapy may provide small adjunctive benefits over SRP alone. Er: YAG lasers showed the most consistent, though clinically limited, effects and should be considered supplementary rather than routine adjuncts.

  Yaygın olarak kullanılan pediatrik demir takviyelerinin restoratif materyallerin renk stabilitesi üzerine etkisi

  Şeker, Nefise; Cerci Akcay, Hulya; Taş, Çağan; Sır, Eda

  Amaç: Bu in vitro çalışmanın amacı, yaygın olarak reçete edilen pediatrik demir takviyelerinin—ferrik polimaltoz (Ferrum®) ve demir sülfat (Ferro Sanol B®)—farklı restoratif materyallerin renk stabilitesi (ΔE) üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmektir. Yöntemler: Kompozit rezin, kompomer, akışkan kompozit rezin ve cam iyonomer simanlardan oluşan toplam 180 örnek, distile su (kontrol), ferrik polimaltoz veya demir sülfat gruplarına (n=15) ayrıldı. Tüm örnekler 37 °C’de saklandı, test solüsyonlarına günde 2 dakika daldırıldı ve başlangıç, 7. gün ve 28. günlerde değerlendirildi. Daldırmalar arasında örnekler distile suda muhafaza edildi. Renk ölçümleri, CIE Lab* sistemi kullanılarak bir spektrofotometre (VITA Easyshade, Almanya) ile yapıldı ve ΔE değerleri hesaplandı. Veriler Kruskal–Wallis ve Mann–Whitney U testleri ile analiz edildi (p < 0,05). Bulgular: Her iki demir takviyesi de tüm restoratif materyallerde kontrol grubuna kıyasla anlamlı renklenmeye neden oldu (p < 0,05). En yüksek renk değişimi cam iyonomer simanda gözlenirken, en düşük renk değişimi kompozit rezinde görüldü. Ferrik polimaltoz, başta cam iyonomer siman olmak üzere çoğu materyal grubunda demir sülfata kıyasla daha fazla renk değişimine yol açtı. Sonuç: Pediatrik demir takviyeleri, restoratif materyallerin renklenmesi açısından yüksek potansiyele sahiptir ve demirin kimyasal formu renklenme derecesini etkiler. Renklenme potansiyeli azaltılmış formülasyonların geliştirilmesi, pediatrik diş tedavisinde estetik sonuçların iyileştirilmesine katkı sağlayabilir.
