| 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). |

Could not reproduce the stored 4.9/347-review figure on Google Maps today: the business exists only as two separate branch-level listings — New Cairo (164 N Teseen St, Dr. A.H. Shousha) at 4.8/53 reviews and Heliopolis (El-Khalifa El-Maamoun) at 4.6/60 reviews.

| 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. |

| 2026-08-25 | Wonders Dentistry | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address unchanged, not permanently closed. Corrected phone to +201140003470 (was +201118123323 in prior data) — the new number is confirmed by both the live website and the Google Maps listing. Recorded Google rating 4.9 (500 reviews) and Maps place URL/coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Wonders Dentistry | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. GA or IV sedation used for complex extractions/implants; separate dedicated anaesthesia page. |
| 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. |
