Reply to the Letter to the Editor: “Diabetes Increases Residual Stress and Microcrack Length in Dentin: An XRD–SEM Study with AI-assisted Quantification”
Key Points
Diabetes is associated with increased microcrack length in dentin, highlighting dental vulnerabilities.
Increased residual stress noted in dentin, with alterations affecting structural integrity.
Assessment using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy offers detailed quantification of dentin changes.
Implications for dental treatment in diabetic individuals must be considered in clinical practice.
