Cervical headgear (CHG) is used widely in the treatment of Class II anomalies. Asymmetric headgear (AHG) is an alternative treatment for the correction of unilateral Class II dental relationships. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the effects of AHG with those of a CHG combined with a removable plate in unilateral first molar distalization. The study consisted of 20 patients with unilateral Class II molar relationship (12 girls and eight boys). One group of 10 patients was treated with an AHG, and a second group of 10 patients was treated with a CHG and a removable plate. Lateral cephalograms and basilar radiographs were taken before and after molar distalization. It was found that distalization and distal tipping of molar on the passive side was less in the CHG and removable plate (CHG-RP) group. Distalization and distal tipping of the second premolar on the distalization side was also reduced in this group. Incisors were retruded in both groups but were retruded more in the CHG-RP group.

Interest in ultraviolet (UV) light devices for disinfection has increased due to pandemic concerns, but their efficacy in denture disinfection is underexplored. This study evaluated seven-enclosed type portable UV irradiation devices (devices A-G). Among these, devices A, B, and C used bulb light sources, while devices D, E, F, and G utilized LED (light-emitting diode) light sources.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of repetitive removal/insertion and a load equivalent to the occlusal force on the retentive force of rest plate-I bar (RPI) clasps fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) on powder bed fusion. RPI clasp fabricated by SLM and casting were evaluated to the retentive force by repetitive removal/insertion (SLM-RI and Cast-RI), and the retentive force of RPI clasp by SLM was also evaluated by repetitive removal/insertion under load (SLM-L). SLM-RI group was kept superior retentive force during repetitive removal/insertion than Cast-RI group.

Article Synopsis
- Upper canines are the second most commonly impacted teeth, after third molars, and early diagnosis is crucial to avoid complications.
- A case study of an 11-year-old showed that with proper monitoring and the use of a removable orthodontic appliance, an impacted left maxillary canine could erupt naturally after 10 months.
- Early intervention is significant in pediatric dentistry, as it allows for effective treatment without resorting to surgical or fixed orthodontic methods.
Effects of Loading Forces, Loading Positions, and Splinting of Two, Three, or Four Ti-Zr (Roxolid) Mini-Implants Supporting the Mandibular Overdentures on Peri-Implant and Posterior Edentulous Area Strains.

Clinical indications for the Ti-Zr alloy (Roxolid) mini-implants (MDIs) in subjects with narrow ridges are still under review. The aim was to analyze peri-implant and posterior edentulous area strains dependent on the MDI number, splinting status, loading force, and loading position. Six models were digitally designed and printed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of finishing and polishing techniques on the fit accuracy, metal loss, and surface roughness of conventional versus CAD-CAM removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks.
Materials And Methods: A 3D-printed maxillary Kennedy class III modification I model served as the master cast. Forty impressions (20 conventional and 20 digital) were divided into four groups: lost-wax technique (Group I: LWT), CAD-printed (Group II: CAD-RP), CAD-printed from a stone cast (Group III: CAD-RPS), and lost-wax technique from resin-printed models (Group IV: LWTR).
