Introduction: Mandibular angle fracture (MAF) is the second most common site of all fractures of the mandible with the highest complication rate. Management of MAF has evolved in the past four decades. The purpose of the prospective study was to compare the efficacy of new design titanium miniplate (NDM) with conventional titanium miniplate (CTM) in the treatment of MAF.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four angled abutments and 24 CAD-CAM Zr copings were assigned to three groups depending on the type of cementation technique, comprising eight copings with palatal vent, open vent, and no vent, respectively. Vertical marginal gaps between abutment shoulder and coping margin were evaluated at four points: buccal, palatal, mesial, and distal.
Introduction: Transplanting a tooth from one area of the mouth to another is known as autogenous tooth transplantation. It is a great choice for restoring young patients' teeth with developing alveolar bone because it uses the patient's own tooth as the replacement rather than a false one. This study aims to evaluate pain, infection, mobility, resorption, ankylosis, and success rate in the replacement of mandibular non-restorable molars through an immediate autotransplantation of the nonfunctional impacted mandibular third molar.

Background: Ciliopathies are an emerging class of diseases of which JS is a significant member. There have been very few cases of JS with its distinguishing features which have been reported in recent literature.
Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a localised granulation tissue overgrowth, in reaction to mild irritation. The aetiology of the lesion is not known, though it was originally believed to be a botryomycotic infection. The clinical diagnosis of such a lesion can be quite challenging.

Only 5-6% of dentigerous cysts are associated with supernumerary teeth. We report a rare case of dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted anterior maxillary supernumerary tooth.
