Enamel demineralization, the formation of white spot lesions, is a common issue in clinical orthodontic treatment. The appearance of white spot lesions not only affects the texture and health of dental hard tissues but also impacts the health and aesthetics of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of white spot lesions that occur throughout the orthodontic treatment process involve multiple dental specialties. This expert consensus will focus on providing guiding opinions on the management and prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment, advocating for proactive prevention, early detection, timely treatment, scientific follow-up, and multidisciplinary management of white spot lesions throughout the orthodontic process, thereby maintaining the dental health of patients during orthodontic treatment.

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.

A 15-year-old female sought multidisciplinary treatment for hypodontia, three-dimensional problems, deep overbite, multiple occlusal interferences, and collapse of the occlusion. Through virtual-digital design with objective decomposition, this patient underwent five steps of orthodontic treatment under the guidelines of the principles: removal of occlusal restriction is a prerequisite; transverse problems are solved first; then sagittal problems; and vertical correction runs through the treatment. After orthodontic and prosthetic treatment, aesthetic appearance and functional occlusion were achieved.

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.

Objective: The goal is to analyze the osteogenesis potential of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-hydroxyapatite (HA) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) as a biomaterial candidate for alveolar bone defect therapy through a bioinformatic approach within an study.
Materials And Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) ligand structures consisting of HA, PMMA, and target proteins of SHED were obtained from the PubChem database. STITCH was used for SHED target protein analysis, STRING was utilized for analysis and visualization of protein pathways related to osteogenesis, PASS Online was employed to predict biological functions supporting osteogenesis potential, PyRx 0.
