This article presents a case report of a 20 year old female who was very much dissatisfied with her facial appearance and smile.On examination, it was found that there was a Angles class II division 1 malocclusion and a generalised spacing in the anterior teeth, with a retained, deciduous, left maxillary canine and a malposed 15. On radiographic examination, an impacted 18, 23 was noticed. As the part of the treatment plan, the retained deciduous canine and the impacted permanent canine were extracted and an orthodontic correction of the malocclusion was accomplished. The missing canine was planned to be replaced with a fixed partial denture.The short clinical crown height of the abutment teeth was increased by crown lengthening procedures and the pontic space was contoured to receive a ovate pontic by using diode lasers. The missing tooth was restored by using an all ceramic three unit zirconia bridge. This multi-disciplinary approach improved the smile of the patient and it ultimately enhanced her aesthetics and self confidence.

Introduction: Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a genetic disorder characterized by distinctive oral manifestations, making dental anomalies a key diagnostic criterion and treatment focus.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 32 patients diagnosed with CCD with detailed dental records (19 males and 13 females; mean age, 20.5 years).
Comparison of Fracture Resistance Force (Load-to-fractured Test) and Failure Type of 3D-printed Stainless Steel Crowns and Preformed Stainless Steel Crowns in Primary Molars: An Study.

Aims And Background: This study aims to compare the fracture resistance force (FRF) and failure types of three-dimensional (3D)-printed stainless steel crowns (SSCs) and preformed SSCs in primary molars.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight over-retained and extracted mandibular second deciduous molars were divided into two groups: one receiving 3D-printed crowns and the other preformed crowns. Fracture resistance testing was performed using a universal mechanical testing machine, and failure types were analyzed post-testing.

Unlabelled: The infraocclusion (IO) of primary molars, often seen in retained deciduous teeth, is a common condition that presents significant challenges for pediatric oral health. It occurs when primary molars are positioned below the occlusal plane due to the absence of permanent successors, leading to complications such as misaligned teeth, impaired chewing, and long-term dental health issues.
Objectives: This study examines IO prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment approaches.

Bilateral mandibular premolar agenesis is rare, and it is essential to retain the primary teeth until they can be replaced with dental implants. Although internal root resorption and periapical lesions in primary teeth have a poor prognosis, MTA dressing and restoring teeth with SSC impede the progress of internal resorption.

Exosomes derived from the stem cells of human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) hold promise for tissue regeneration. Apoptotic cells release a variety of extracellular vesicles that affect intercellular communication. This study aimed to investigate the angiogenic effects of SHED-derived exosomes modified via apoptosis induction on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).
