During childhood, the anterior maxilla is susceptible to injury, and the loss of incisors is one of the most serious injuries. In many cases, autotransplantation is the best alternative for children who lose an incisor during the growth phase. This case report describes the treatment of a boy who had a traumatic injury when he was 8 years old that resulted in avulsion of the maxillary right central incisor. When he sought treatment at age 10, the space was lost as was bone in the incisor region. Because he lacked space in the mandibular arch for proper tooth alignment, extractions were planned. One extracted premolar was transplanted into the space of the missing maxillary incisor area. The posttreatment results were good, and follow-up records 7 and 9 years after treatment showed healthy periodontal support and cortical bone gain in the transplanted tooth's buccal area.

Background: Establishing accurate, reliable, and convenient methods for enamel segmentation and analysis is crucial for effectively planning endodontic, orthodontic, and restorative treatments, as well as exploring the evolutionary patterns of mammals. However, no mature, non-destructive method currently exists in clinical dentistry to quickly, accurately, and comprehensively assess the integrity and thickness of enamel chair-side. This study aims to develop a deep learning work, 2.

This study evaluated the internal and marginal accuracy (trueness and precision) of zirconia laminate veneers fabricated using the DLP printing and milling method, employing 3D analysis software program. The maxillary central incisor tooth of a typodont model was prepared by a dentist and scanned using a desktop scanner. An anatomical zirconia laminate was designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software and saved in a standard tessellation language (STL) format.

Objective: Miniscrews are commonly utilized as temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in cases of maxillary protrusion and premolar extraction. This study aimed to investigate the effects and potential side effects of two conventional miniscrew configurations on the maxillary incisors.
Methods: Eighty-two adult patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion who had undergone bilateral first premolar extraction were retrospectively divided into three groups: non-TAD, two posterior miniscrews only (P-TADs), and two anterior and two posterior miniscrews combined (AP-TADs).

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess the alveolar bone support of teeth adjacent to the cleft site in individuals with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (CLP) who have undergone either orthodontic space closure or space opening for missing lateral incisors. A cross-sectional retrospective study. University orthodontic clinic serving individuals with CLP.

Introduction The utilization of Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology in the production of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and acetal frameworks enhances the precision and stability of partial denture frameworks. This study evaluates the retentive forces of CAD/CAM-fabricated PEEK, acetal, and cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) frameworks in removable partial dentures (RPDs). Methods Forty-five frameworks were fabricated (15 each of PEEK, acetal, and Co-Cr) and tested for retentive forces using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 5 mm/min.
