This is a case report of a 10-year-old girl with a hyper divergent class III skeletal malocclusion caused primarily due to maxillary retrognathism. Treatment involved the use of a modified maxillary protraction face mask that carries the point of force application extra orally to pass through the centre of resistance of the maxillary dentoalveolar complex. After 8 months, the maxilla was displaced anteriorly without rotation. Maxillary occlusal plane showed a clockwise rotation. Maxillary incisors were extruded and retroclined. Mandible was displaced downward and backward. Another 18 months were required for fixed orthodontic treatment to achieve perfect interdigitation.

Background: Gingival recession has a multifactorial etiology, involving various predisposing and precipitating factors. Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are often associated with gingival recession and pose challenges due to their complex pathodynamics. There is limited evidence regarding tunnel-based procedures combined with connective tissue grafts (CTGs) for treating recession-associated NCCLs.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate extrinsic tooth stain removal and whitening efficacy of two experimental dentifrices containing (i) 5% sodium tripolyphosphate (STP)/1% micronized alumina or (ii) 5% STP/1% micronized alumina with abrasive silica (ED2) compared to a regular fluoride dentifrice (RFD) following 8 weeks of use.
Materials And Methods: This was a single-center, randomized, controlled, blind, three-arm, stratified, parallel-group study. Eligible participants underwent clinical assessment of stain on the facial/lingual surfaces of maxillary and mandibular teeth using the modified Lobene stain index (MLSI), and shade of the facial surfaces of the central and lateral maxillary incisors using the VITA Bleachedguide 3D-Master (VITA) shade guide.
Objectives: To evaluate the treatment effects of the modified miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) and rapid palatal expander (RPE) with distalizers in patients with Class II malocclusion and maxillary crowding.
Materials And Methods: The sample comprised 28 skeletal Class I adolescents with dental Class II malocclusion and maxillary crowding of >4 mm who received nonextraction treatment. Fourteen patients were treated with a modified MARPE with distalizer (MMD), while another 14 patients were treated with a modified RPE with distalizer (MRD).
Novel CAD/CAM-splint-based navigation protocol enhances intraoperative maxillary position control in orthognathic surgery: a case control study.

Background: Virtual surgical planning for orthognathic surgery typically relies on two methods for intraoperative plan transfer: CAD/CAM occlusal splints and patient-specific implants (PSI). While CAD/CAM splints may offer limited accuracy, particularly in the vertical dimension, PSIs are constrained by higher costs and extended preparation times. Surgical navigation has emerged as a potential alternative, but existing protocols often involve invasive registration or lack transparent evaluation.

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) mouthwash in reducing denture plaque and its impact on the microbial composition of denture plaque. Materials and methods A randomized, placebo-controlled crossover trial included 29 participants with maxillary complete dentures. Participants used either CPC or a placebo mouthwash for one week each in a crossover design.
