Objectives: To evaluate the 3D accuracy of attachment positioning and the adaptation of aligners to attachments using in-house templates made with either polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and either pressure or vacuum thermoforming machines.
Materials And Methods: Overall, 140 test specimens were resin-printed. Templates for the attachment bonding were made with 1-mm EVA or 0.
Diprosopus is a congenital anomaly in which partial or complete duplication of craniofacial structures occurs. Because it is rare, the mortality rate is high, and information concerning this anomaly is scarce. This study describes a case of human diprosopus in a 9-year-old male individual, who has severe complications associated with the central nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems.

- The systematic review aimed to evaluate the prevalence of ankyloglossia (a tongue condition) across different age groups and assessment tools.
- Researchers analyzed data from 71 studies, finding an overall prevalence of 5%, with the highest prevalence in infants (7%).
- Results indicated that the prevalence of ankyloglossia varies significantly depending on the diagnostic tool used, and while there appears to be a higher prevalence in boys, the evidence is uncertain.
