Introduction: Assessment of crown-root angulation of the anterior teeth as defined by the collum angle (CA) is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning. This study was undertaken to evaluate the CA of all anterior teeth within both the maxillary and mandibular arches across various sagittal malocclusions using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Additionally, the secondary aims included investigating sex disparities and side variances in this angular measurement.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 pre-orthodontic patients divided into four groups with 20 patients in each group: Group 1, dentoskeletal class I; Group 2, dentoskeletal class II with division 1 malocclusion; Group 3, dentoskeletal class II with division 2 malocclusion; and Group 4, dentoskeletal class III malocclusion. CA was assessed using CBCT for all anterior teeth in both jaws. The data were then subjected to statistical analysis.
Results: There were statistically significant differences in the CA for all anterior teeth in both jaws among all groups (p<0.05). The mean CA was highest in Group 3, followed by Groups 4, 2, and 1 for the maxillary central incisors (CIs). The mean CA was highest in Group 3, followed by Group 2, Group 1, and Group 3 for the maxillary lateral incisors (LI). The mean CA was highest in Group 3, followed by Groups 2, 4, and 1 for the maxillary canines. The mean CA was highest in Group 3, followed by Groups 4, 2, and 1 for the mandibular CI. The mean CA was highest in Group 3, followed by Groups 4, 2, and 1 for the mandibular LI. The mean CA was highest in Group 3, followed by Groups 4, 2, and 1 for the mandibular canines. There were no statistically significant sex or side (right and left) differences between the groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The highest CA was observed in class II division 2 for all the anterior teeth. The CA of the mandibular teeth was lower than that of the maxillary teeth, and the lowest values of CA were obtained for mandibular teeth in class I malocclusion.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the color stability of Class V anterior restorations with universal composite after professional bleaching using a spectrophotometer.
Material And Methods: Class V cavities were prepared and restored with universal composite in twenty-eight extracted anterior teeth. One week after restoration, color analysis was performed using the spectrophotometer.
Objectives: To evaluate changes in gingival recessions (GR) in periodontitis patients over ten years of supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) and to assess the impact of GR on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).
Materials And Methods: Fifty-one patients with over ten years of SPT were followed up (V1) with complete periodontal status including periodontal probing depth (PPD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) at 6 sites/tooth, oral hygiene indices, and recession status. Patient anamnesis, oral hygiene habits, and orthodontic history were assessed.

Background: Anterior open bite is a challenging condition for pediatric dentists and orthodontists as it causes aesthetic, speech, feeding, and psychological problems; this emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and interception of this malocclusion.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of prefabricated metal-bonded tongue tamers and customized bonded spurs in the early treatment of anterior open bite.
Materials And Methods: A sample of seventy-five children aged 7-9 years were assigned into three groups in which anterior open bite was treated using tongue tamers (group-I), customized composite bonded spurs(group-II), and conventional fixed palatal cribs (group-III).

This research explores the types and effectiveness of occlusal splints in managing temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). TMDs encompass a range of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions affecting the jaw, causing pain, limited movement, and discomfort. Occlusal splints, also known as bite guards, are commonly used in dentistry to alleviate TMD symptoms by relaxing jaw muscles, preventing joint trauma, and protecting teeth.

Background The thyroid gland is the most susceptible organ to radiation during the exposure of teeth because the thyroid area appears to be within the primary beam, and the dose levels are relatively high even after using collimation. This study aims to develop an eco-friendly thyroid shield by reusing lead foils from intra-oral periapical radiographic films and evaluate its effectiveness in intraoral radiography. Methods A total of 16 patients undergoing endodontic procedures who gave written consent to participate in the study were included and divided into four categories: anterior, canine, premolar, and molar.
