Everyone aspires to have a youthful appearance, complete with a beaming grin. By treating skeletal and dental malocclusions that interfere with facial aesthetics, orthodontics helps patients attain a beautiful face and a smile they will be proud of. The diagnosis of the underlying illness or condition serves as the basis for all medical, dental, and surgical operations. Dental professionals all across the world have reaped the benefits of a major scientific advance in recent years. Many measurements may now be seen and quantified more easily using computer-assisted cephalometry. The accuracy and high quality of all dental materials have been enhanced thanks to computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture. There have been several developments in the realm of orthodontics. The growing use of technology in recent years has transformed every sector, including medicine and dentistry. From Angle's time to today's nanorobotic age, orthodontic ideas, biomaterials, and technology have evolved greatly. It has been extensively utilized for diagnosis, treatment planning, three-dimensional printing, appliance systems, digital storage, integration, and data retrieval. The technology used in orthodontics is always getting better, and this article aims to give an overview of the most recent changes.

Introduction Due to the variation in shape and curvature of the clavicle, plates often have to be adjusted during surgery to acquire a good fit. Poorly fitted plates can cause discomfort, eventually requiring implant removal. 3D-printed replicas of the fractured clavicle can assist in planning of the surgical approach, plate selection and, if necessary, adjustment of the plate prior to surgery. We hypothesized this method of preoperative preparation would reduce implant-related discomfort resulting in a reduced reoperation rate Materials and methods In a prospective cohort study, perioperative plate handling and clavicle fixation were timed and follow-up data were collected from participants undergoing operative treatment for a midshaft clavicle fracture. The control group (n = 7) received conventional surgery with standard precontoured plates. For the intervention group (n = 7), 3D-printed replicas of the fractured clavicle and a mirrored version of the healthy contralateral clavicle were available prior to surgery for planning of the surgical approach, and for plate selection and contouring. Primary outcome was reoperation rate due to implant-related discomfort. Secondary outcomes were complications and time differences in the different surgical phases (reduction, fixation and overall operation time) Results More participants in the control group had the plate removed due to discomfort compared to the intervention group (5/7 vs. 0/6; P = 0.012). One participant was excluded from the intervention group due to a postoperative complication; an infection occurred at the implant site. No relevant time difference in surgical plate handling was found between both groups. Conclusions Preoperative preparation using 3D-printed replicas of the clavicle fracture may reduce implant removal caused by plated-related discomfort. No relevant effect on surgery time was found.

Dental implant surgery requires precise planning due to various anatomic limitations and restorative goals. The greatest challenges in the surgical and the prosthetic stages of dental implant surgery are due to diagnostic failure and poor case planning. With the advent of new technology surgical guides and templates can be fabricated which has made it possible to achieve more reliable agreement between the planned and final position of dental implants. These templates fabricated by sophisticated data acquisition methods and virtual planning software, seat directly on bone. They are preprogrammed with the individual depth and angulation during 3D computer simulation. It has improved preoperative planning reducing the surgical morbidity. This article reviews the concept of virtual planning and procedure of stereolithography for fabrication of surgical templates during implant planning and placement.
