The loss of anterior teeth due to trauma requires immediate attention for function and esthetics. While implant- supported or conventional fixed prostheses may be the treatments of choice for adults, relatively noninvasive and reversible provisional procedures for tooth replacement are necessary for adolescents. In recent years, developments in fiber and composite technology offer a conservative treatment approach to restore the anterior edentulous space as a fixed provisional tooth replacement. This case report presents the chairside procedures of anterior tooth replacement in an adolescent using the avulsed tooth crowns as pontics which were bonded to teeth on either side of the edentulous space and reinforced with a preimpregnated fiber.

Dental implants are now a standard solution for replacing missing teeth, even in patients with a history of chronic periodontitis. India is often referred to as the "diabetic capital of the world," a title that reflects the country's alarming rates of diabetes prevalence. However, the risk of complications, such as peri-implantitis and implant failure, remains a concern for these patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the 3-dimensional morphology of larger recurved caniniform teeth (LrCTs) and their underlying intraosseous structures in Caprodon schlegelii.
Methods: Specimens (n = 5) with a total length of approximately 32 cm were fixed and processed for micro-computed tomography and/or stereomicroscopy. Volume data of the LrCT-bearing jaws were examined using volume rendering images.
Prevalence and type of removable prostheses manufactured in dental laboratories in Switzerland over the last 10 years.

Due to effective preventive measures and advanced techniques in operative dentistry, tooth loss occurs later in life and implant restorations have become a common solution for replacement of missing teeth. Therefore, the use of removable dental prostheses (RDPs) is expected to decline over time. This study aims to evaluate the expected decrease in the production of RDPs in Swiss dental laboratories over the past decade.

Background: Autogenous tooth transplantation offers significant advantages and promising success rates for replacing non-retainable teeth. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors, especially the impact of root canal treatment (RCT), of autotransplanted teeth in an up-to-6-year follow-up cohort of 167 teeth in Southern China.
Methods: We enrolled adult patients from the Southern Medical University-Shenzhen Stomatology Hospital between 2017 and 2023.
Synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography enhances our knowledge of the skull anatomy of a Late Triassic ecteniniid cynodont with hypercanines.

Hypercanines, or hypertrophied canines, are observed in a wide range of both extinct and extant synapsids. In non-mammaliaform cynodonts, the Permo-Triassic forerunners of mammals, long canines are not uncommon, appearing in several unrelated taxa within the clade. Among them is Trucidocynodon riograndensis, a carnivorous ecteniniid cynodont from the Late Triassic of Brazil, which exhibits a specialized dentition, including spear-shaped incisors, very long and narrow canines, and sectorial postcanines with distally oriented cusps, all of which have finely serrated margins.
