This systematic review was carried out to appraise the evidence regarding the brassiere-wearing practices and problems faced by breast cancer survivors. An electronic search was carried out across eight databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Embase, CINAHL and ProQuest. Two researchers independently screened the studies for their eligibility and study quality.

- The study aimed to evaluate and compare muscle activity in patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion treated with rigid and flexible fixed functional appliances.
- Fourteen patients aged 13-17 were divided into two groups: one using a rigid appliance (MPA IV) and the other a flexible appliance (Churro Jumper), with muscle activity measured using EMG.
- Results indicated both appliances significantly increased muscle activity in the masseter and anterior temporalis muscles, but the flexible Churro Jumper produced a greater increase than the rigid MPA IV during various activities like resting, swallowing, and clenching.
Background: Orthodontic treatment planning involves the precise assessment of dental and skeletal anomalies, which can be facilitated by AI-enhanced diagnostic tools.
Materials And Methods: A total of 100 orthodontic cases were included in this RCT. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: an AI-enhanced diagnostic group and a traditional diagnostic group.
Introduction: The mouth and teeth are vital in facial aesthetics and the face as a whole is the most critical individual component determining one's physical look. As dentists, we need to be aware that this might significantly alter the care given to a patient since the patient's and the dentist's ideas of beauty may be quite different. This study sought to ascertain how the general public, general dental specialists, and orthodontics all rated the attractiveness of patients who had received orthodontic treatment using a visual scale, as well as how the facial reference could be used to gauge the improvement in smiles.

Aims: The present trial was aimed to quantitatively assess the changes in facial growth from adolescents to adults.
Materials And Methods: In the present study, 16 facial distances (transverse) and craniocaudal facial distances were measured, and growth changes were assessed.
