Context: Mounting the maxillary and mandibular dentulous casts for Diagnostic purpose requires many steps (including making maxillary and mandibular impressions, face-bow transfer, and bite registration) or many appointments. A simple new technique of doing all of this together without compromising on the accuracy can save time over the conventional mounting procedure.
Aim: To compare the accuracy of a new technique of a single-step diagnostic mounting procedure with that of the conventional diagnostic mounting procedure.
Materials And Methods: Ten dentulous patients with the full complement of teeth and without any history of temporomandibular disorder and orthodontic treatment were selected for this study. A detachable metal triple tray to replace the fork part of the face bow fork that further could be attached to face bow was fabricated. Dual-arch impressions and face-bow transfer were made in these subjects using this modified triple tray. These mountings were compared with the ones done with the conventional mounting procedure. Five linear measurements (using stable reference points on the articulator and the cast) were made and the values obtained by both the methods were compared.
Statistical Analysis: The Student's 't' test for statistical analysis was used in this study.
Results: The measurement values obtained by the single-step method were almost similar to the ones obtained by the conventional method. The various mean measurements for the single step and conventional methods were 37.7 ± 6.8 and 38.5 ± 6.5 mm; 70.0 ± 4.4 and 70.1 ± 4.2 mm; 57.0 ± 4.9 and 57.3 ± 4.2 mm; 71.3 ± 4.5 and 71.0 ± 4.6 mm; and 58.7 ± 2.5 and 58.3 ± 2.3 mm; respectively. The differences between the values obtained by the conventional and single-step methods were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: The single-step procedure of diagnostic mounting can be used as an alternative to the conventional method, without compromising the quality of mounting.

Objectives: The Cupid's peak triangle theory was established to reveal the aesthetics essence of the Cupid's peak through golden ratio deviation to provide quantitative theoretical basis for lip plastic and cosmetic surgery.
Materials And Methods: Model the Cupid's peak line on the lip bow ridge and construct expressions for Cupid's peak parameters and their associated triangle theory using the angle circle (AC) and radius circle (RC) of the Cupid's peak line. Calculate and establish functional relationships for Cupid's peak parameters and the concept of the Cupid's peak index (CPI) golden ratio deviation (GRD).

When performing a unilateral incomplete cleft lip repair, it is essential to create a good sub-structure of the upper lip contour, reconstruct the orbicularis oris muscle, and prevent an unwanted scar. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of muscle reconstruction using a five-flap method with a short straight-line incision in unilateral incomplete cleft lip repair. Thirty-two infants with unilateral incomplete cleft lip were treated with this method between April 2020 and February 2023.

Lip augmentation can correct lip asymmetries, reduce fine lines, define lip shape and Cupid's bow, and add natural fullness to the lips. Achieving a perfect result when injecting lip filler is an art that combines the desire of the patient with the skill of the practitioner and the practitioner's understanding of the surrounding anatomy. It is essential for aesthetic practitioners to prioritize open communication, provide custom-tailored treatments, and have a strong commitment to achieving natural and harmonious results.
