Pathological tooth wear is a dental problem that affects all age groups and appears to be increasing in prevalence. A subset of these patients may benefit from a combination of orthodontic and restorative care which will be discussed in this article. Orthodontics can help to create the necessary vertical, anterior-posterior and mesio-distal space for restorative work, reducing the need for tooth reduction and lessening the biological costs of restorative care, helping to reposition the gingival margins where this impacts upon aesthetics, as well as correcting co-existing malocclusion.

Over the last decades the percentage of adult orthodontic patients has substantially increased. Undeniably, an important motif for seeking orthodontic care at an older age is smile improvement, but this is not all. Frequently, impaired dentofacial aesthetics are combined with several other issues: severe dentoskeletal malocclusions; multiple tooth loss due to caries or endodontic failure; dental agenesis or trauma; periodontal breakdown; or functional problems, such as temporomandibular disorders or obstructive sleep apnoea.

Intro: The aim of the current study was to develop and describe a new measuring system for the orientation of a tooth in a digitalized cast of a jaw and provide new angular values for the rotation, torque and tip of maxillary and mandibular teeth.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study involved the utilization of a sub-group of extrinsic Euler-angles to derive optimal norm values per tooth in three different planes of orientation ('rotation', 'torque' and 'tip') by evaluating the digital representations of the teeth derived from a database containing over 17,500 patients. The process involved the entry of the .

An eruption bulge is a swelling or an enlargement below the gumline due to the eruption of a tooth. Radiographic images would also illustrate the fact that there may be the presence of a successor tooth (unerupted or unimpacted) under the bulge of the gingiva. Teething refers to the sequence of growth and appearance of the primary as well as permanent teeth within the oral region that varies according to age.

Introduction: In the treatment of malocclusion, continuous monitoring of the three-dimensional relationship between dental roots and the surrounding alveolar bone is essential for preventing complications from orthodontic procedures. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides detailed root and bone data, but its high radiation dose limits its frequent use, consequently necessitating an alternative for ongoing monitoring.
Objectives: We aimed to develop a deep learning-based cross-temporal multimodal image fusion system for acquiring root and jawbone information without additional radiation, enhancing the ability of orthodontists to monitor risk.
