Today's patients and clinicians have high expectations for aesthetic excellence. In order to deliver excellence, dental health care providers must be more aware of the complexity of nature, particularly when the anterior segments of natural dentition are involved. This article addresses the relationship of soft tissues, crowns, and roots and their relationship to light transmission and perception.

The most common form of supernumerary teeth is represented by the mesiodens. Very often, they are impacted, usually palatially, but can be found buccally or between the roots of the permanent central incisors. Their position can be normal, inclined, or inverted.

The preservation of the original configurations of root canals during endodontic preparation is crucial for treatment success. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems have been refined to optimize canal shaping while minimizing iatrogenic errors. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the shaping efficacy of the novel R-Motion (RM) and the established WaveOne Gold (WG) systems using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to validate a novel AI tool that combines dental images from two different sources, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanners (IOS), to create accurate tooth models.
- The evaluation involved analyzing a dataset from 30 patients, calculating various accuracy metrics for the AI-generated models, and comparing them to both expert manual methods and existing segmentation approaches.
- Results indicated that the AI-based approach achieved high accuracy similar to manual methods but was significantly faster, suggesting it could improve efficiency in dental practices.

Background: This study compared the antibacterial effects of 940 nm diode laser and sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine irrigations on in human permanent single-rooted teeth.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 65 extracted human single-rooted teeth were prepared using the crown-down method using rotary files. The root canals were irrigated with 5.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate cracked teeth and vertical root fracture observable on micro-CT images of extracted roots of mandibular incisors, after fiber post removal.
Materials And Methods: Thirty mandibular incisors were selected with any degree of slight incisal wear inspected with the aid of a stereomicroscope under 12x magnification, in order to have a group of young adult specimens according to the criteria of Hugoson et al. A sample of twelve mandibular incisors were selected, aged between 20 and 30 years old, with similar dentine volume and thickness.
