An Aesthetic and Economic Approach of Smile Designing for a Patient With Dentinogenesis Imperfecta: A Rare Case Entity.

This is a case report presenting a female patient in her twenties suffering from severely stained, unaesthetic, and worn-out teeth since her childhood. It was a major aesthetic and functional concern for her. This clinical presentation describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with generalized discolored and worn-out teeth to have enhanced aesthetics and masticatory function of the patient.

Evaluation and Comparison of Stress in Divergent and Convergent Collar Designs of Implants With Different Bone Densities: A Finite Element Study.

Background: The failure and the success rate of an implant depends on biomechanical factors, esthetics and painless sterile implant surgery conditions, out of which stresses applied to the bone and its surrounding, bone-implant interface, material characteristics of the implant used and the strength of the bone and its surrounding are the important factors. This study aimed to evaluate the stress distribution of divergent collar design (DCD) and convergent collar design (CCD) implants placing them in four different densities of the bone (D1, D2, D3 and D4). The evaluation of the stress distribution of DCD and CCD was performed using the 3D finite element method (FEM), by placing them in four different bone densities.

Radicular Cyst Associated with Type 3B Dens Invaginatus in a Permanent Maxillary Lateral Incisor.

Dens invaginatus (DI) is a developmental abnormality of the tooth resulting in the invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla before the calcification of dental tissues. DI is one of the common dental deformities, but its association with the radicular cyst (RC) is still very uncommon. Oehler's Type 3B DI has a deep invagination that extends apically communicating with the apical area.

Parental self-perceived knowledge and attitudes toward emergency management of avulsed permanent teeth in Imphal: A cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Dental avulsion is one of the dental traumatic injuries commonly affecting children aged between 6 and 12 years. One of the major limitations in obtaining a successful outcome while treating dental avulsions is the lack of knowledge on its first aid management among parents. The present study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude of parents in Imphal toward the emergency management of avulsed permanent tooth using a self-reported questionnaire method.
