The present study aimed to review the recent endodontics obturation techniques. In cases of denture infection, obturating the tooth's root is a tissue-saving technique. Obturation's advantages stem from its capacity to stop tooth cavity infections from spreading and worsening. Just cleaning, remodeling, and filling the cavity are the goals of the operation . There are numerous methods for obturating a root canal. Furthermore, this endodontic surgery has preventable and controllable conse

Extraction is still a contentious and interdisciplinary decision in orthodontics. In certain situations, knowing the relapse rate and treatment results is crucial. However, more research is required to evaluate the efficacy of mandibular incisal extraction (MIE) as a substitute therapy option for patients who are not growing . According to the PICO criteria, this research was conducted in response to a specific focus question: "Is mandibular incisor extraction a common choice in orthodontic trea

In recent years, various bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) methods have been developed to treat developing Class III. The most important factor influencing the success of bone anchorage in orthodontics is mini-implant stability. This prospective study was conducted to assess the success rate of miniscrew anchorage for MAMP in patients with developing maxillary retrusion . In this study, twenty patients with maxillary hypoplasia without clefts or craniofacial abnormalities (11.4 ± 1.3 ye

Various techniques have been developed to speed up orthodontic tooth movement. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is one of the newest methods because it is less intrusive and has few adverse effects. It should record any related pain and assess how a PRP submucosal injection affects maxillary canine retraction. Twenty patients were chosen and randomized at random to a split-mouth trial in which one side (the study side) received a PRP injection and the other side (the control) received no injection. Th

Racial, ethnic, sexual, and nutritional variances all have an impact on malocclusion and craniofacial growth in the South Indian inhabitants which is diverse in terms of ethnicity and culture. Therefore, the assessment and diagnosis of craniofacial anomalies depend critically on the availability of standard standards for the local population . The purpose of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of Schwarz's analysis in determining mandibular length in the population of South India. One hun

Vertical facial divergence patterns are clinically significant due to their strong association with malocclusion and orofacial functional imbalances. Gaining insight into how these divergence types develop throughout growth is essential for tailoring effective orthodontic interventions. This research explores and contrasts craniofacial growth behavior from childhood through adulthood among three vertical facial divergence categories using a longitudinal series of lateral cephalograms derived fro

This study investigated the use of shape memory polymers (SMPs) as a next-generation material for orthodontic aligners to overcome the stepwise limitations of traditional aligner therapy. The ability of SMPs to return to a predefined shape and drive tooth movement under external stimuli was evaluated using a typodont model prior to clinical testing. The experimental setup aimed to achieve a 1.9 mm correction of an upper central incisor through a single aligner subjected to multiple activation ph

This study aimed to compare the survival rates and periodontal health outcomes of two types of mandibular fixed retainers—3-strand round twisted (RT) and 8-strand rectangular braided (RB)—each bonded to all six anterior teeth. A total of 133 orthodontic patients (median age: 24.6 years; interquartile range: 17.2–32.4 years; range: 15.1–49.8 years) were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either an RT or RB fixed retainer. Inclusion criteria included the presence of all permanent mandibul

This investigation aimed to compare the precision of dental implant placement using two categories of surgical guides: thermoplastic and three-dimensional (3D) printed. A total of 32 implants were inserted in 20 healthy individuals, each presenting a single missing tooth. The implant sites were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (thermoplastic guide, n = 16 implants) and Group B (3D-printed guide, n = 16 implants). All implant placements were digitally planned through a uniform protocol,
