Background: This case report outlines the clinical workflows for immediate implant placement for both maxillary central incisors and ceramic laminate veneers for the remaining teeth in the smile zone.
Methods: The patient's chief complaint was to improve her smile and address periapical infections with purulent exudate at the apex of her central incisors. Clinical and CBCT evaluations determined that the maxillary central incisors were non-restorable, while the lateral incisors and canines showed signs of incisal wear. Atraumatic extractions were performed for the central incisors, and immediate implants were placed with a 3D-printed surgical guide in conjunction with an autogenous soft tissue grafting procedure. Once the soft tissue between the central incisors was contoured with provisional implant restorations, minimally invasive veneer preparations were performed for porcelain laminate veneers. Final restorations were bonded under dental dam isolation.
Results: Single immediate implants for maxillary central incisors can be successfully paired with ceramic laminate veneers on adjacent teeth in the smile zone to replace non-restorable teeth in the esthetic zone.
Conclusions: Atraumatic tooth extraction, 3D implant planning with grafting procedures, and minimally invasive ceramic veneers can help in meeting patients' esthetic and functional expectations. Total isolation using a dental dam maximizes the bonding performance of ceramic restorations.

Unlabelled: Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis (CNPAS) is a rare disorder that causes airway obstruction in newborns and children. Patients with CNPAS mainly present with nasal obstruction, respiratory distress, feeding difficulties, and/or failure to thrive. Here, we present the case of a 1-day old male baby born with tachypnea, nasal obstruction, and congestion.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the reliability and agreement of dental shade selection methods-spectrophotometry, intraoral scanning, and cross-polarized digital photography (CP photography)-using VITA Classical (VC) and VITA 3D-MASTER (V3M) shade guides.
Materials And Methods: The shade of the central area of the right maxillary central incisor was assessed in 56 subjects using three methods: SpectroShade spectrophotometer, 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanner, and CP photography. All measurements were standardized, performed in triplicate, and conducted under controlled conditions.

Dental color selection is an important clinical challenge in restorative dentistry due to the alterations related to dehydration and rehydration. This clinical study aimed to quantitatively monitor the color changes between different levels of tooth dehydration and rehydration using different dental photography techniques. Color assessments of the right central incisor were performed using a hybrid-type clinical spectrophotometer (RayPlicker; RP) as control, a dental photography kit (DP), and a mobile dental photography kit (MDP).

Statement Of Problem: Studies analyzing the accuracy of intraoral scanners (IOSs) for fabricating veneer restorations are scarce. Also, the space between tooth preparations significantly impacts the accuracy of IOSs. The influence of interdental space on the accuracy of veneer preparations digitized by using IOSs remains uncertain.

Background: The mechanism of force application in clear aligner treatment involves wrapping the clinical crowns, suggesting that the size of the clinical crowns may impact tooth movement. The present finite element study aimed to explore the impact of clinical crown length on the sagittal movement of maxillary central incisor in clear aligner treatment.
Methods: The standard maxillary dentition model was developed using computer tomography scanning.
