For dental implant treatment to be successful, esthetics, functionality, and cleanability are all required of the superstructure, which is the final prosthesis. Screw fixation and cementation have been the conventional methods of choice for the crown prosthesis of implants, but these individual methods cannot fulfill all the requirements. As a solution to this problem, we have devised a new implant superstructure restoration method called the inlay covering esthetic technique, which uses computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing inlays. It involves the placement of an inlay covering the access hole in a highly translucent partially stabilized zirconia crown. This technique, demonstrated in this clinical case study, expands the indications for implant treatment and improves the oral quality of life of patients. This case report describes a novel esthetic technique for restoring dental implant access holes.

Statement Of Problem: Early childhood caries is one the world's most common problems in infants and treatment of posterior teeth with esthetic crowns in a low rate of wear on opposite dentition is a challenge for pediatric dentists.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the wear behavior of the tooth colored crown materials and the opposing teeth in using different esthetic crown materials in the mixed dentition period.
Material And Methods: The following tooth type and crown materials were considered in the experiment.

Objectives: This randomized two-arm parallel trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of standard anterior bracket positioning with the smile arc protection (SAP) method in terms of occlusal and smile morphometric indices, and perceived post-treatment smile aesthetics.
Methods: Patients needing nonextraction orthodontic treatment were randomly assigned to either the SAP or standard bracket placement group. Inclusion criteria were ages 11 to 25 years, nonextraction treatment, and good oral hygiene, all treated using the Roth 0.

Purpose: This study assessed the impact of the buccal bone on hard and soft tissues in submerged and non-submerged immediate implants using a minipig model.
Methods: Sixty-five titanium implants (Camlog Progressive Line) were placed in four minipigs immediately after tooth extraction. All non-submerged (NSM) implants received a mechanically induced buccal bone defect (NSM-BD), whereas the submerged group (SM) was classified as defective (SM-BD) and intact (SM-BI).

Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis (SRM) evaluated the effect of incorporating calcium-based bioactive agents in bleaching gels on dental structure preservation and whitening efficacy.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across databases up to November 2024. Two independent reviewers screened and selected clinical trials and in vitro studies evaluating the effects of calcium-based bioactive agents in bleaching gels, following predefined PICO criteria.

Autotransplantation of immature third molars is an effective treatment option, offering high success rates, minimal complications, and notable improvements in occlusal function and dental aesthetics. This study aims to review and evaluate the available evidence specifically on the survival and success rates of immature autotransplanted third molars and to identify prognostic factors that influence these outcomes. A comprehensive search was conducted in the Elsevier Journals (ScienceDirect), MEDLINE (PubMed), and Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source (EBSCOhost) databases up to May 2024.
