Anterior diastema and tooth defects are common clinical issues in restorative dentistry and are often restored by veneers or crowns based on the results of digital smile design and wax-up. Traditional direct resin restoration for closing a diastema is relatively minimally invasive but is time consuming and laborious, and shape control depends on experience. Digital technology can be used to design and transfer the shape of aesthetic restoration more accurately and quickly; thus, it could close anterior diastema and restore defects easily. According to the workflow, this technical process integrates virtual design and practical wax-up, transfers the designed restoration shape by templates, and injects through the preset channel after the template is in place. This clinical technique simplifies the clinical operation and saves clinical time, which can effectively improve the predictability and accuracy of the restoration and reduce technical sensitivity. This digital workflow provides a new technology for closing diastema quickly and effectively.

Management of anterior and posterior crossbites with lingual appliances and miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
December 2024
Private Practice, Viet Anh Orthodontic Clinic, Hanoi, Vietnam.
Rationale: Current literature describes only 2 cases combining miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) with lingual appliances. These cases require 2 impressions, 1 before and 1 after palatal expansion, to ensure accurate lingual appliance placement, potentially increasing treatment time and cost. This case report aimed to demonstrate a modified workflow of combining MARPE and lingual appliances in managing an adult patient with anteroposterior and transversal discrepancies, requiring only a single digital impression for both fabrication and positioning.

Article Synopsis
- Supernumerary teeth are extra teeth that can cause complications; this study aimed to explore their prevalence and characteristics in the Arabian population.
- Conducted from 2018 to 2020, the study analyzed panoramic radiographs from healthy patients, identifying age, gender, and the specifics of supernumerary teeth.
- Results showed a 2% prevalence among patients, predominantly males, with most cases involving a single impacted mesiodens tooth located in the anterior maxillary region and commonly exhibiting a conical shape.

Impacted teeth are significant dental anomalies affecting primary and mixed dentition, potentially causing issues with permanent teeth and affecting dental and facial aesthetics. Supernumerary teeth are commonly impacted in the anterior maxilla, while premolars are the third most common in permanent dentition, after third molars and canines. Untreated impactions can lead to complications such as delayed or ectopic eruption of adjacent teeth, resulting in crowding, midline diastema, or nasal cavity eruption.

Here we describe new fossil material of Antillothrix bernensis, a Pleistocene-Holocene primate taxon from Hispaniola. It is now represented by seven crania, five mandibles, and dozens of postcranial elements from several paleontologically rich cave systems. The five adult crania included here share a similar overall profile as well as specific features such as a deep depression at the glabella.

Frenum morphology is of pivotal concern while treating patients who desire improved aesthetics and for treating patients with midline diastemas, as it may lead to failure or relapse of orthodontic treatment. Frenum, a thick band of muscle fiber, may present with abnormalities in the shape, size, form, number, and thickness, which may cause gingival recession along with poor oral health. Frenectomy is adopted as the plan of action while treating abnormal frenum cases by resecting the frenum attachment to provide closure of the spacing between the upper anterior teeth, as in the case of midline diastema.
