“…Careful interpretation of the CBCT between the endodontist and the software engineer is essential to creating a 3D model that provides the maximum benefit to presurgical planning and to facilitate the surgical procedure itself (Figures 2-5). The use of tooth models has been profiled in a case report supporting the use of 3D models to address an anomalous complex anatomy [24] and improve workflow and add objectivity to the treatment planning process [25].…”

Background: This case report demonstrates the use of three-dimensional (3D) models produced from a cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) volume to develop a treatment strategy for a rare type of dens invaginatus (DI) in a mandibular incisor. Methods: A patient with DI Type IIIa presented for endodontic treatment. Following CBCT evaluation, the complex morphologic nature of the invagination required additional diagnostic tools for treatment planning. The fabrication of 3D models provided clarity regarding the treatment strategy. Treatment involved intracanal medication with calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2, nonsurgical root canal therapy (NS-RCT) of the main canal, and endodontic surgery for the DI anomaly using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), bone graft, and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane. Results: The use of 3D models provided an invaluable guide for proper treatment. Complicating factors were diagnosed and planned for accordingly. Conclusions: It is difficult to appreciate the anatomical complexity, the extent, and the nature of the invagination of rare Type III DI morphology. CBCT imaging and 3D models played a critical role in the pre-treatment planning to ensure a predictable outcome. A 3D model is recommended as a diagnostic tool in treating complex cases where the DI morphology is wide, oblique, or the foraminal opening is irregular.

“…The use of the aligners technique brings several advantages to the patient. Its main advantage is that it is aesthetic, usually made of polyurethane, which is a translucent material that blends with the color of the teeth [1,11].…”

“…Although the recommended time for changing each pair of aligners is 15 days, several studies have observed that this time has been insufficient in many cases to perform efficient tooth movements, this fact increases the chances of relapses, which ends up causing orthodontists to give greater preference to treatments with conventional fixed appliances. It is worth noting that the predictability provided by the ClinCheck® system of aligners has not been demonstrating 100% efficiency, which ends up increasing questions on the part of orthodontists about the real cost/benefit of these orthodontic appliances [10,11].…”

Introduction: Harmonized teeth are synonymous with a healthy mouth, and age is no longer an obstacle to starting orthodontic treatment. There are numerous options involving technologies that serve people of the most varied ages and lifestyles. Among them, the aligner plates are ideal for those who want to correct imperfections in the dental position. Objective: It was to carry out a concise systematic review to highlight the main considerations and clinical outcomes of aligner plates in orthodontic treatments to achieve dental harmonization and aesthetic balance. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The search was carried out from December 2022 to February 2023 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases, using articles from 2012 to 2022. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed accordingly, according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 68 articles were found, 22 articles were evaluated and 16 were included and developed in this systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 14 studies with a high risk of bias and 22 studies that did not meet GRADE. It was concluded that the aligners are created by computer software, require only one impression, require a few additional tests, and allow excellent predictability of the treatment when used within their indications. They have a satisfactory aesthetic level, are comfortable, easy to clean, and cause less trauma when compared to conventional fixed appliances. However, serious skeletal discrepancies cannot be treated with the aligner plates, there may also be non-cooperation on the part of the patient, in which the use of the device is insufficient, making the treatment ineffective, high cost, slight intrusion of posterior teeth may occur, speech disturbances, dysphagia, and increased salivary flow.
