Aim: To introduce 3D printing to individuals or practices providing orthodontic treatment. Introduction: 3D printing or additive manufacturing is the fabrication of objects from a 3D digital model. 3D printing can be achieved by the successive deposition of photo-sensitive resin material, cured solid with a light source such as a laser. This allows for customisable appliances and improved workflow in practice. 3D printing is a rapidly evolving technology, with many practices beginning to implement it into their digital workflows. Adoption and integration come with many challenges. Conclusion: Provided suitable materials and 3D printing protocols are followed, 3D-printing produces accurate and robust dental models without the errors associated with conventional dental impressions and plaster models. While this involves the transition from conventional methods of fabrication and outsourcing to a fully digital workflow, savings and improved efficiencies can result.

Background: The number of endodontic procedures has increased steadily in the past decade with highly predictable results. Therefore, restoration of teeth after endodontic treatment is becoming an integral part of the restorative practice in dentistry. When restoring an endodontically treated tooth, the first step is to assess the level of predictability involved in the restoration. Proper restoration of ET teeth begins with a good understanding of their physical and biomechanical properties, anatomy, and a sound knowledge of the endodontic, periodontal, restorative and occlusal principles. A thorough understanding of posts is necessary to make the right selection, as there are so many choices available. Finally, the choice of core material and the final restoration are important in achieving long-term clinical success. Aim: To compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with two different post-core systems. Material and Method: The samples were split into two groups of 15 each and given root canal therapy on 30 maxillary incisors. For two experimental groups, post space preparation and tooth restoration utilizing glass fibre posts with composite cores and adhesive resin cement (Group A) and zirconia posts (Group B) respectively were carried out.. Using the universal testing apparatus, 0.5 mm/min of force was applied to each sample at 130 degrees until fracture was experienced. A statistical analysis of the data was done after measuring the fracture resistance. Result: The least fracture resistance was found in Group A (Glass Fibre Post). Additionally statistically more significant than groups A and B was group B (Zirconia Post). According to the statistics that were found, the p value is significant (p< 0.05). Conclusion: The load needed to fracture the custom-made zirconia post was higher than that of the glass fibre post, according to the study's limitations.

Dental rehabilitation using osseointegrated implants is a routine for dentists. Maxillary sinus lift surgery is essential in expanding the indications for dental implants, as it re-establishes adequate bone volume for the installation of implants in the ideal areas in the middle posterior portion of maxillae that have undergone the physiological process of pneumatization. This article describes the chronology of this technique and its increase over time.

A variety of methods have been used worldwide in dental age assessment in the living. However, since dental development varies between populations, population-specific studies are necessary. This study aimed at investigating the accuracy of age estimation using developing teeth from panoramic radiographs according to the method devised by Demirjian and colleagues in a sample of Northern Sudanese children and adolescents (2) Methods: A total sample of 917 X-Rays from patients aged between 6-16 years of age was available, but only 527 were suitable (265 boys, 272 girls). (3) Results: The mean difference between chronological and dental age for Northern Sudanese boys, ranged between (–0.389 to +0.571) while, for the Northern Sudanese girls, the mean difference ranged between (–0.056 to+0.732); (4) Conclusions: The results showed that the Demirjian's method did not accurately predict age in this Northern Sudanese population. Standards were produced to convert the maturity scores calculated by Demirjian's method to a new dental age assessment for Northern-Sudanese population

Angle Class III malocclusion has a strong genetic influence that can occur in several generations of the same family group. This dentofacial deformity can be identified from an early age, even in childhood. The perception of beauty in the transition phase to adolescence has a greater weight, because in this phase there are immense physiological changes. The need for attention through aesthetic enhancement generates vanity, which can have both beneficial and harmful influences. Nowadays, the young generation craves prominence and subsequently values the exaggerated importance of beauty and the quest for aesthetic perfection. A young patient with a dentofacial deformity caused by Angle Class III malocclusion has a major facial impact. They are usually the victims of teasing, nicknames and psychological pressure and bullying. They become embarrassed, irritable and their self-esteem and social integration suffer. From this perspective, early treatment in children can be beneficial, reducing the psychological burden of facial and dental alterations in the future. The purpose of this article is to review the literature on the facial aspects resulting from orthodontic treatment in Angle Class III patients.

Background: Apically extruded debris following root canal treatment leads to postoperative complications like inflammation, postoperative pain, and delay in periapical healing. Additionally, debris extruded during treatment is responsible for persistent apical area inflammation. Hence, a decrease in debris extrusion is necessary for reduction in postoperative complications. Aim: Two distinct instrumentation methods were used to measure the amount of apically extruded debris after root canal preparation in the present study. Materials and Method: Idea was to include thirty extracted single rooted human premolar teeth for study purpose. After access opening, canal patency was established using a 15 K-file till the apical foramen then it is to be followed by determination of working length by visual method. The samples were divided into 2 groups: Group1: Wave One gold. Group 2: Hyflex EDM Rotary file. The manufacturer’s instructions were followed for the instrumentation. During instrumentation, extruded debris and irrigants were collected into the preweighed test tubes. Following this, these tubes were stored in an incubator at the temperature of 70°C for the next 5 days. To assess the resultant weight of extruded debris, the test tubes were weighed. The final mass of the extruded debris was calculated by subtracting the weight of the initial empty vial from vial containing dry debris. Result: According to the results obtained in this study, both the tested files caused extrusion of debris apically. The h debris extrusion in Hyflex EDM system was reported to be highest, whereas WaveOne Gold showed the lowest value. Conclusion: Result of this study showed that Waveone gold was associated with less debris extrusion in comparison to hyflex EDM rotary file.

Stomatological manifestations of psychosomatic diseases can be associated, culminating in advanced oral alterations. These psychosomatic changes have also increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this perspective, parafunctional habits, such as bruxism and clenching, and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease can develop major dental destruction. Thus, various types of treatment are required in the rehabilitation of these patients. The purpose of this article is to present the case of a patient who developed severe tooth wear due to the association between gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and bruxism, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The patient was treated with a bite raising, direct composite restorations and removable prostheses.

Impaction of maxillary central incisor is not frequently reported in literature. Impacted maxillary incisors are rare and detrimental to aesthetic problems in permanent dentition stage. The term dilaceration describes an abrupt deviation of the long axis of the crown or root portion of a tooth. Dilaceration generally occurs following trauma to the apices of deciduous dentition, which lies is close proximity to the permanent tooth buds.

In the last two decades, advances in digital and 3D printing technology, a rise in interest in cosmetic orthodontics, particularly among adults, and manufacturer marketing on a global scale have all contributed to clear aligners becoming a staple in modern orthodontic practise. Clear aligners have seen numerous improvements since they were first introduced with the goal of making orthodontic treatment less obvious. Like many other orthodontic tools, transparent aligners are used to move teeth for alignment and to create healthy, attractive smiles, but they are far more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. The success of the treatment depends on the therapists' expertise and experience with the aligners, careful case selection, and patients' adherence to the prescribed treatment plans.
