Dissociative identity disorder in the dental setting: An assessment of the literature and case report
AbstractThere is an ever-increasing chance that dentists are likely to experience patients who need additional management for psychiatric disorders. Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is characterised by the presence of two or more distinct personality states or identity fragments that control an individual's behaviour, thoughts and emotions. The aim is to offer additional insights into patients with DID and their management within a dental care setting. This will be demonstrated through the use of a case report as a practical illustration. In order to gain insight into the effects of DID on healthcare, particularly with...

Embarrassing malocclusion: Hidden anterior open bite
The development of an unexpected anterior open bite during orthodontic treatment can be quite embarrassing to the orthodontist. Before treatment, orthodontists must recognize that a hidden anterior open bite can be revealed when a patient with condylar distraction is treated with orthodontic tooth alignment or splint therapy. The disclosure of a hidden anterior open bite derives from resolving the protective neuromuscular reflex of the masticatory muscles or upward seating of the condyles. The use of articulator-mounted dental models and evaluation of the amount and direction of condylar distraction at the condylar level a...

Duration of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners versus fixed appliances in crowding cases: a systematic review
ConclusionsBased on currently available information, there was no significant difference in the treatment duration between the CA and FA groups in mild to moderate crowding cases. Further well-performed RCTs, especially in severe cases, are required.Clinical relevanceTime efficiency is an essential outcome measure for clinical orthodontic practice. While the type of appliance used is a critical determinant of treatment duration, orthodontists should be aware of other factors that can significantly impact treatment time, such as patient and treatment-related factors.

Effect of laser etching on surface characteristics and porcelain bond to soft milled and direct metal laser sintered cobalt chromium alloys
The surface topography of metal substrate can affect its bond to porcelain. A neodynium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser has been introduced to modify the metal surface topography and improve porcelain bond strength. However, studies on the effect of laser etching on metal to porcelain bond strength are lacking. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)
