Objective: To clarify the occurrence and distribution of the fusion of deciduous teeth in Shenyang.
Methods: By using cross-sectional study, 4286 children were examined, who aged from 2 to 6 years in 37 kindergartens.
Results: Of 4286 children investigated, fusion of the deciduous teeth were detected in 65 children (1.52 percent) without sex predilection. The fused teeth typically occurred unilaterally (68.75 percent), and mainly located in the anterior region, more frequently in the mandibular (91.25 percent) than that in the maxillary arch. 12 cases were bilaterally symmetrical (18.46 percent). Two rare cases were found with fused teeth, one occurred in central incisor, lateral incisor and canine, the other occurred between two molars with two incisors fused in the same side. Fused teeth in two cases had caries.
Conclusion: The occurrence of the fused teeth may cause some complications. Pediatric dentists should pay attention to the fused teeth occurred in preschool children.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the impact of different thresholds and voxel sizes on the accuracy of Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) tooth reconstruction and to assess the accuracy of fused CBCT and intraoral scanning (IOS) tooth models using curvature continuity algorithms under varying thresholds and voxel conditions.
Methods: Thirty-two isolated teeth were digitized using IOS and CBCT at two voxel sizes and five threshold settings. Crown-root fusion was performed using a curvature continuity algorithm.

Placing an implant immediately into extraction sockets provides a distinct advantage over delayed placement, eliminating the need for a 4 to 6 months waiting period for bone formation. However, when patients present with hypothyroidism, the feasibility of immediate placement of dental implants becomes uncertain. This case involved a hypothyroid woman in her late 60s with loose lower anterior teeth.

Background: Preservation of a healthy periodontium is critical for the long-term success of restored teeth. In cases of extensive caries, tooth fracture, inadequate crown length, and increased esthetic demands, the restorative margins need to be placed apical to the gingival margin. Violation of the biological width due to dental trauma frequently appears in clinical practice.

Article Synopsis
- Xenodens calminechari is a mosasaurid species named from a questionable fossil specimen, suggesting the possibility of forgery due to its non-scientific collection method.
- The teeth in the specimen's maxilla appear to be artificially placed, leading to concerns about the validity of its defining features.
- The paper highlights broader issues in paleontology regarding poorly tested commercial specimens and the complexities of dental variations in reptiles, ultimately questioning the legitimacy of the Xenodens calminechari classification.
