Objective: To evaluate and compare three-dimensional tooth size symmetry in the right and left sides of upper and lower dental arches in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients and to compare it with an Angle Class I normal occlusion control group.
Materials And Methods: Dental casts of 72 individuals with CLP (20 bilateral [BCLP], 34 unilateral left [ULCLP], and 18 unilateral right [URCLP]) and 53 individuals with Class I occlusion, all with permanent dentition, were randomly selected. Mesiodistal (MD), labiolingual (LL), and occlusogingival (OG) measurements of upper and lower teeth were recorded with a digital caliper. Descriptive statistics and paired t-test were used for statistical analysis.
Results: Significant asymmetries were found between the right and left sides of the dental arches in CLP as follows: MD dimension: mandibular first premolar (ULCLP, P < .01); LL dimension: mandibular first premolar (URCLP, P < .05); OG dimension: maxillary central incisor and first premolar (ULCLP, P < .05 and P < .01, respectively), central incisor (BLCLP, P < .01), mandibular canine and first premolar (ULCLP, P < .01), and first molar (ULCLP, P < .05). Tooth crown size asymmetries were also recorded in the Class I group.
Conclusions: Significant three-dimensional tooth size asymmetries were found in CLP subjects; however, such asymmetries were also present on the Class I control group.

Unsupervised tooth segmentation from three dimensional scans of the dental arch using domain adaptation of synthetic data.

Background: The automated segmentation of individual teeth from 3D models of the human dental arch is challenging due to variations in tooth alignment, arch form and overall maxillofacial anatomy. Domain adaptation is a specialised technique in deep learning which allows models to adapt to data from different domains, such as varying tooth and dental arch forms, without requiring human annotations.
Purpose: This study aimed to segment individual teeth from various dental arch morphologies in 3D intraoral scans using domain adaptation.

Objective: The primary focus of this investigation was to evaluate the biomechanical effects of high trimline design aligners on the distalization of mandibular molars, employing three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA). The study concentrated on aspects such as tooth movement, stress distribution, and anchorage control.
Methods: Utilizing Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data, a detailed 3D geometrical model was constructed for finite element analysis.

Background: Investigating the safe range of orthodontic tooth movement is essential for maintaining oral and maxillofacial stability post-treatment. Although clear aligners rely on pre-treatment digital models, their effect on periodontal hard tissues remains uncertain. By integrating CBCT-derived cervical and root data with crown data from digital intraoral scans, a three-dimensional (3D) fusion model may enhance precision and safety.

Regenerative endodontics is a rapidly evolving discipline focused on biologically restoring the pulp-dentin complex to revive vitality in non-vital teeth. Unlike traditional endodontic therapies that rely on inert materials to preserve structure, regenerative techniques aim to re-establish natural structure and function by harnessing advancements in tissue engineering. This narrative review examines recent progress in stem cell applications, scaffold development, signaling molecules, and clinical protocols that contribute to successful regenerative outcomes.

Objective: To assess the clinical, radiographic and patient-reported outcome measures, and the success of screw-retained one-piece monolithic zirconia implant-supported restorations in the posterior region during a 1-year follow-up.
Methods: In a prospective case series, 50 single molar sites in the posterior region of 41 patients with a minimum age of 18 years and sufficient bone volume for placing an implant (≥ 8 mm) and space for an anatomical restoration were included. Following prosthetic-driven digital three-dimensional treatment planning, a tissue-level implant with an internal connection was inserted during a one-stage surgical procedure.
