Changelog
Every data update, correction, and methodology change is logged here and in each clinic's own change history. The rating updates whenever the underlying public data changes.
| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | Methodology v1.4.2 | Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes. |
| 2026-10-07 | Methodology v1.4.1 | Added a limit on re-checks made at a clinic's request: the next request from the same clinic about its own page is taken up no sooner than one month after the last re-check made at its request, which is dated in the clinic's change history; requests sent earlier are not processed. Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes. |

| 2026-09-25 | Cabinet Dentaire Dr Bouchakour Abderrazak | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing; the website it lists, bouchakoursmile.com, is a domain that is not registered.

| 2026-09-25 | OrthoVision Dental Clinic (Dr Wassim Bouzid) | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's whole website and its Google listing. The site mixes the clinic's own French pages with unfilled template pages (placeholder text, USD subscription packs, a broken booking link, the template maker's Facebook link); only the clinic's own pages were used. Recorded: genuine photos of the premises on the Google listing; a detailed oral-surgery list; weekend opening; no prices for any treatment; no emergency or children's service; no WhatsApp link; no working online booking; no structured data; no TripAdvisor listing; Google 4.7 from 240 reviews. Corrected: the clinic does reply to reviews. Still unverified: its Facebook page, X-ray and cone-beam equipment. |
| 2026-09-11 | Digital Dental Clinic | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 1 of the 5 reviews read carries a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2025-03-09. |
| 2026-09-10 | Aya Dental Care | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: re-probed the clinic's own site with the apex URL (no query string) after the original "?lang=en" URL kept returning HTTP 429; the retry succeeded and the clinic's own navigation names the dentist directly. Source added; licence value left unchanged (no Algerian public register is reachable, per our registry research). |
| 2026-09-07 | Methodology v1.4.0 | 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 | Ardentys | Browser spot-check: Google rating and review count re-read live on the Maps place page (4.4 / 524, unchanged) and the published star histogram recorded; respondsToReviews set from owner replies on the same page. |
| 2026-09-03 | Ardentys | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (8 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 428/24/10/3/59); reviewRecency=within_year, complaints=false, suspicious=false. Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Aya Dental Care | Browser spot-check: ayadentalcare.com, which rate-limited every automated fetch, was opened in a browser — the "immigrés et étrangers ... (France, Espagne, ...)" claim behind worksWithForeigners is published verbatim and its sourcing note was corrected (the "20 000 patients" counter is a general patient total, not a foreign-patient count); hasStructuredData null -> true (one JSON-LD @graph) and dedicatedServicePages null -> true; Google rating re-read live (4.5 / 15, unchanged). |

Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Blue Dental Clinic | Browser spot-check: the 4.8 / 578 re-read live on the Maps place page and confirmed unchanged, with the star histogram recorded; the coincidence with tooth911.com’s 4.8 / 411 examined and explained in the notes; reviewRecency and respondsToReviews set from the Maps review list. |

| 2026-09-03 | Cabinet de Chirurgie et d’Esthétique Dentaire Dr Nacer Cherif | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (8 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 342/3/0/2/6); reviewRecency=within_year, responds=false, complaints=false. Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Cabinet Dentaire Dr Benyahia Mohammed | Browser spot-check: the zero-review Google Maps listing confirmed live — the listing exists and genuinely has no reviews. |
| 2026-09-03 | Cabinet Dentaire Dr Benyahia Mohammed | Reputation pass: the Google Maps place page was re-opened in a browser and carries no reviews at all, so reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns stay null with a note saying there is nothing to assess. |
| 2026-09-03 | Cabinet Dentaire Dr Bouchakour Abderrazak | Browser spot-check: Google rating and review count re-read live on the Maps place page (4.9 / 11, unchanged) and the published star histogram recorded; respondsToReviews set from owner replies on the same page. |

Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Cabinet Dentaire Dr Ouchen Badreddine Tarek | Browser spot-check: the name spelling settled — Google Maps and the practitioner-maintained algerie-docto.com profile both read "Badreddine", against DZDoc’s "bareddine", so the card name and the slug were corrected to Badreddine (the site is not yet live, so the URL change costs nothing) and the DZDoc spelling kept as an alias in the notes; Google rating re-read live (5.0 / 2, unchanged). |
| 2026-09-03 | Cabinet Dentaire Dr Ouchen Badreddine Tarek | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (2 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 2/0/0/0/0); reviewRecency=older, responds=null(noted), complaints=null(noted), suspicious=null(noted).

| 2026-09-03 | Clinique Dentaire Abdelhalim Bouguerra | Browser spot-check: Google rating and review count re-read live on the Maps place page (4.5 / 2, unchanged) and the published star histogram recorded; the listing now renders its name in Latin script as "clinique dentaire Dr Abdelhalim Bouguerra". |
| 2026-09-03 | Clinique Dentaire Abdelhalim Bouguerra | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (2 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 1/1/0/0/0); reviewRecency=within_year, responds=null(noted), complaints=null(noted), suspicious=null(noted).

| 2026-09-03 | Dental Clinic Dr Mili & Dr Herrad | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (3 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 2/0/0/0/1); responds=null(noted), complaints=null(noted), suspicious=null(noted).

Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Methodology v1.3.1 | 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. |
| 2026-09-03 | OrthoVision Dental Clinic (Dr Wassim Bouzid) | Coverage top-up, correction: the 2026-09-02 conclusion that no Google Maps listing exists was wrong. The practice is on Maps under its trade name "Orthovision Dental Clinic" (a quoted search for "Bouzid Wassim" dentiste resolves straight to it), carrying 4.7 / 233 reviews and the same phone as this card, +213 555 17 90 20. Filled googleMapsUrl, geo (map pin, 7 decimals), rating and review count; corrected hasWebsite from false to true and englishVersion's reasoning (the clinic does have a site, orthovisiondentalclinic.com, French-only); set serviceListPublished true; renamed the card to the trade name and rewrote the summary, which wrongly described a solo practice — the clinic website's team page lists five dentists led by Dr Wassim Bouzid. Address updated to the one the clinic itself publishes; note that the DZDoc profile (Cite 1000 Logements, Batiment 79) and the Maps listing (Lotissement El Qods 3, El Mouzina) each give a different El Khroub address, so the clinic's own contact page was taken as the authority. aiVisibility was NOT re-run: the 2026-09-02 canonical-query pass matched on the dentist's name, not the trade name, so those five values should be treated as unverified until re-run. |
| 2026-09-03 | OrthoVision Dental Clinic (Dr Wassim Bouzid) | aiVisibility re-run for the rebrand: the five canonical Constantine queries (the five canonical city queries) were re-checked live, matching on both the trade name "OrthoVision Dental Clinic" and the dentist's name "Dr Wassim Bouzid". The clinic is not visible in top results for any of the five. This supersedes the caveat above that the 2026-09-02 aiMention_* values were unverified after the rename: they are confirmed false under the correct name. |
| 2026-09-03 | OrthoVision Dental Clinic (Dr Wassim Bouzid) | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (8 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 210/8/2/3/10); reviewRecency=within_3_months, responds=false, complaints=false, suspicious=false. Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |

| 2026-08-25 | Methodology v1.3.0 | 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 | Methodology v1.2.0 | 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. |
| 2026-07-08 | Methodology v1.1.0 | Added licensing transparency: clinics are now penalised when they do not publish their operating licence, or do not list their dentists together with their professional licence numbers. Each clinic page now shows a Licensing & Credentials section. |
| 2026-07-03 | Methodology v1.0.0 | Initial public methodology. |
