EpiSMILE is Latvia's first epidemiological study of dental health in 6–8-year-old children.

Primary outcomes: prevalence of caries in primary dentition + frequency/severity of MIH, a developmental enamel defect with no info prevalence data in Latvia.

Ninety‐Seven Percent of Trials Investigating Robotic Interventions in Physiotherapy Contained Abstract Spin: A Meta‐Research Review Background Abstract spin involves misrepresenting or misreporting study findings in the abstract of an article. The abstract is the most easily accessible part of the article and may determine if…

Researchers in healthcare robotics overinterpret insignificant results (at least in the abstract). The problem is that this obscures the genuine benefits that some devices provide.

AI in paediatric dentistry: I’m pleased to serve as the new Section Editor for AI at the Eur Arch Paediatr Dent link.springer.com/journal/40368 . We welcome AI research addressing *real clinical problems* and *clear clinical impact*. Author guidance here doi.org/10.1016/j.jd...

Are dental students prepared for AI in clinical practice? Short answer: No.
Survey of 508 students (9 countries) shows limited understanding of dental AI, >50% feel unprepared, and strong support for mandatory, case-based AI and ethics training.

AI in dental imaging often means using black-box models trained on unknown data.
What if clinicians could build their own AI models: no coding, using local data and clinical criteria? This is what we tested. Full text: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Thanks to the Latvian Pediatric Dent Soc for inviting me to speak on AI in dentistry. Key message: evidence is still almost entirely "in-vitro" type. Clinical adoption is distant (workflow-integration anyone?), & we still lack RCT measuring impact on patients & society.

This Thursday in Jeddah KSA we’re diving deep into AI that’s actually usable in clinic RIGHT NOW (and the hype to avoid). LLMs, diagnostics, treatment planning & more. sidc.org.sa/jeddah/

OralHealthResearch.LV We are oral health researchers improving health through patient-centered research and evidence implementation. Why Latvia? Caries is a global epidemic, but Europe suffers the highest burden. Latvia exemplifies this crisis: 93% of adolescents show visible tooth damage. A population of 1.9 million
