Article Synopsis
- A randomized clinical trial was conducted to assess postoperative pain and periapical healing after root canal treatment using three types of sealers: eugenol, resin-based, and calcium silicate-based.
- Sixty-three patients with apical periodontitis were included, with pain assessment taking place at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 7 days after the procedure, while healing was evaluated at 3 and 6 months.
- Results showed no significant differences in pain scores or periapical healing among the different sealer types, indicating that all three options are similarly effective post-treatment.
Orthodontics is undergoing a digital revolution, transforming traditional techniques with modern technology. This evolution is driven by the need for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. Digital platforms, including digital radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), are replacing conventional methods, enhancing documentation, analysis, and appliance production.

The patient had a history of trauma to the upper anterior teeth, leading to the development of a radicular cyst involving teeth 11 and 12. The treatment plan included initial root canal therapy followed by surgical enucleation of the cyst, apicoectomy, and retrograde filling of the affected teeth.

- Getting good cosmetic results in facial soft tissues is essential for effective orthodontic treatment planning, which also requires proper positioning of teeth to ensure healthy interactions and prevent periodontal issues.
- The study aims to evaluate and compare the variations in Curve of Spee and Curve of Wilson among different types of malocclusion, particularly in the central Indian population, by using advanced impression and scanning techniques.
- Understanding the differences in these curves among various malocclusions will help inform treatment strategies that prevent periodontal problems and achieve better occlusal stability for patients undergoing orthodontic care.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the importance of aesthetic components in orthodontic treatment, specifically looking at how different skeletal growth patterns (Skeletal Class I and II) affect balanced smiles in patients aged 14-30.
- A total of 45 patients were analyzed based on their malocclusion type, with factors such as lip line measurements and smile symmetry evaluated using Photopea software.
- Results indicated significant differences in lip line measurements among the groups, particularly with Skeletal Class II Vertical patients, while smile symmetry showed higher asymmetry in Classes I and II Vertical.
Solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) syndrome is complex and usually develops 35-38 days postconception during the intrauterine period. A noteworthy discovery is that just one central incisor in the maxillary alveolus, found exactly on the centerline, is present in both deciduous and permanent dentitions with other congenital anomalies. Around one in every 50,000 live babies exhibits this abnormality.

A thorough examination was performed on the patient, which included clinical evaluations and radiographic examinations. Because the impacted teeth were causing discomfort and functional impairment, a multidisciplinary approach was required, which included surgical exposure followed by traction forces to level and align the impacted teeth.

Extraordinary genetic variability and continual evolvability are responsible for the virus having survival and adaptation to host cell immune response, thus rendering the current influenza vaccines with suboptimal effectiveness.Therefore, in the present study, using a novel immunoinformatics approach, we have designed a universal influenza subunit vaccine based on the highly conserved epitopic sequences of rapidly evolving (HA), a moderately evolving (NP) and slow evolving (M1) proteins of the virus.
