The angular relationship between the occlusal plane and six variants of Camper's plane used in clinical practice were investigated on 41 lateral cephalometric radiographs. The line A-T1, connecting the lower border of the ala with the upper border of the tragus is recommended in establishing the occlusal plane in patients with a Skeletal Class 2 jaw relationship, the A-T2, running through the middle of the tragus, in patients with a Skeletal Class 1, and the line A-T3, running through the lower border of the tragus in patients with the Skeletal Class 3 jaw relationship.

Aims And Background: The golden proportion is based on the premise that there is a link between natural beauty and mathematics. The study aimed to analyze the mesiodistal width of maxillary anterior teeth in primary and permanent dentition to determine whether a golden proportion exists among them.
Materials And Methods: Sixty subjects were randomly selected in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Background: A comprehensive analysis of the occlusal plane (OP) inclination in predicting anteroposterior mandibular position (APMP) changes is still lacking. This study aimed to analyse the relationships between inclinations of different OPs and APMP metrics and explore the feasibility of OP inclination in predicting changes in APMP.
Methods: Overall, 115 three-dimensional (3D) models were reconstructed using deep learning-based cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) segmentation, and their accuracy in supporting cusps was compared with that of intraoral scanning models.

Computer-guided full-arch dental rehabilitation, which is highly technique-sensitive, benefits from advancements in 3-dimensional-printed guides and open-source software. Critical pre-surgical planning includes patient selection, health history evaluations, and detailed imaging like cone beam computed tomography scans. Various surgical guides-freehand, static, dynamic, stackable, and interchangeable-are used based on case complexity, with stackable guides improving workflow efficiency.

Mandibular and maxillary fractures are common in small animals and present significant challenges for repair due to the intricate anatomical features involved. This retrospective case series describes a technique for achieving rigid open mouth maxillomandibular fixation using interarch wiring while maintaining correct alignment between the upper and lower teeth with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) moulds of the canine teeth for treating maxillomandibular fractures in cats. The study includes a description of the postoperative outcomes and complications encountered.

Introduction: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and dental caries are prevalent diseases among Pakistani children. Limited research has been done to explore their association with permanent teeth. Given the caries susceptibility of permanent first molars and their role in the development of ideal occlusion, this study aimed to estimate caries frequency in these molars and assess its association with IDA in 7-12 year-old children.
