| 2026-09-10 | Wonders Dentistry | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10 (tails-2 N-A2): both aggregator-only doctors confirmed via own-site Team section (same clinic as egypt/wonders-dentistry, cross-listed on this geo-site). |
| 2026-09-07 | Al Fawzy Dental | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |

| 2026-09-07 | Wonders Dentistry | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.4.0 | Narrowed the "Opaque or bait pricing" red flag to what its published definition describes. Until now the flag was applied automatically to every clinic that does not publish a price list — a harsher statement than the evidence supports, since the catalogue defines the flag as complaints about final bills materially exceeding quoted prices, or advertised prices that are not honoured. Not publishing prices is already scored: it costs the clinic points in the price transparency category, and it is not, on its own, evidence of bait pricing. The automatic rule is removed, so the flag and its 2-point penalty come off about 1,300 clinic pages across the index; no clinic gains a flag, and no weight, severity or other scoring rule changed. The flag can still be recorded against a clinic by hand with cited sources, and about 210 clinics carry such an entry today; we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list. |
| 2026-09-03 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.3.1 | Clarified that the publication criteria refer to the clinic’s own channels: a service list, the names of the dentists and a price list count when the clinic itself publishes them (its website, its social profiles or its own Google Business profile) — registers, directories and review sites do not, and a time-limited promotional offer is not a price list. Added a third state for a dentist’s licence, "checked, not found in the public register": a dentist we searched for in the national register and did not find is now recorded as checked-but-unverified with the date of the check, instead of being shown either as "not checked yet" or as the "not published" red flag. Neither change alters any weight or penalty; the red-flag rule still fires only on a verified negative. Also corrected the wording of the penalty note under the ranking table, which rendered as "20−" in right-to-left dictionaries. |
| 2026-08-27 | Al Fawzy Dental | linkrot 2026-08-27: replaced dead facebook https://facebook.com/people/Al-Fawzy-DentalCairo (HTTP 404, old /people/ vanity-URL format retired by Facebook) with verified-live https://www.facebook.com/p/Al-Fawzy-DentalCairo-61572214135036/ (same clinic: page loads with name 'Al Fawzy Dental.Cairo', location Giza, matching clinics.json name 'Al Fawzy Dental' and address Dokki/Giza; corroborated by WhatClinic and Instagram listings for the same business under the same identity). |
| 2026-08-26 | Dr. Ammar Dental Clinics | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in the fleet external-link sweep (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s2 [https://www.drammar-clinics.com/en/best-dentist-in-cairo]: https://www.drammar-clinics.com/en/best-dentist-in-cairo (HTTP 404, rotten) |
| 2026-08-26 | Helio Dental Clinics | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in the fleet external-link sweep (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s2 [https://eg.doctoruna.com/en/cairo/english-speaking-dentist?practice_id=353]: https://eg.doctoruna.com/en/cairo/english-speaking-dentist?practice_id=353 (attempt1: Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: eg.doctoruna.com:443, timeout: 10000ms); attempt2 (+30s): Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: eg.doctoruna.com:443, timeout: 10000ms), other->stable-dead on recheck) |
| 2026-08-26 | Helio Dental Clinics | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: doctoruna.com listing (s2) confirmed dead (HTTP 404). Re-cited dentistNamesListed and onOtherPlatforms onto the already-live dentaltourism.heliodental.com blog page (s1, re-fetched and read directly, confirms the dentist's name and references WhatClinic/Dental Departures/Google Reviews). Added s1 as an additional source on the Dr. Ahmed Shousha doctor entry - s2 remains listed there too (importer union-merges doctor sourceIds, cannot be stripped), so s2 is NOT pruned (still cited via the doctor). |

Shousha) at 4.8/53 reviews and Heliopolis (El-Khalifa El-Maamoun) at 4.6/60 reviews.

| 2026-08-25 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.3.0 | Corrected how the two licensing red flags are applied ("Clinic operating licence not published" and "Dentists / their licences not listed"). Previously they were applied whenever licensing data was absent from our records, which treated unchecked data as a negative finding — contrary to the methodology's own rule that unverified data is a fact about our coverage, not about the clinic. Both flags now apply only where we have verified that the information is not published. Manual licensing flags that rested on unverified data were removed from the affected clinics. No other scoring rules changed; most scores rise because the incorrect penalty is removed. |
| 2026-08-23 | المنهجية الإصدار 1.2.0 | Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
