White spot lesions (WSLs) refer to localized areas of hypo-mineralization limited to the enamel of the teeth surface, which is noticeable clinically to the naked eye on drying of the teeth. During fixed orthodontic treatment, it is very hard for the patient to maintain excellent oral hygiene as the brackets, bands, wires, elastics, and other appliances and attachments worn intra-orally provide a platform for food retention, plaque formation, and then colonization by acidogenic bacteria like Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus. This review aims to elaborate and focus on etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment aspect, and future scope for research about the WSLs occurring due to fixed orthodontic treatment.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly prevalent and significant across many industries, including the dental field. AI has shown accuracy and precision in detecting, evaluating, and predicting diseases. It can imitate human intelligence to carry out sophisticated predictions and decision-making in the health-care industry, especially in endodontics. AI models have demonstrated a wide range of applications in the field of endodontics. These include examining the anatomy of the root canal system, predicting the survival of dental pulp stem cells, gauging working lengths, identifying per apical lesions and root fractures, and predicting the outcome of retreatment treatments. Future uses of this technology were discussed in terms of robotic endodontic surgery, drug–drug interactions, patient care, scheduling, and prognostic diagnosis.

The present scenario caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic—and the recession in the dental industry—a newer approach modality is on every dentist's mind. As the future is always questionable in the present situation, we can expect remarkable changes in the dental field, which will revolutionize dental health care facilities worldwide. Several upcoming trends are introduced every year. Recent studies demonstrate that in the future dental field will be presented with exciting new technologies, improved business practices, and novel ways to optimize patient experience, and even nanorobotic dentistry will be in practice.Future dentistry is expected to have more innovation as it is adopting the latest technologies and facilitating the growth of global dentistry. This is because the increasing frequency of the treatment of dental disorders and related risk factors, combined with the introduction of advanced technology will be some of the major factors driving technological growth over the next few years.This article communicates the newer changes taking place in dentistry which will have an impact on the future dental field.

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, also known as Gorlin syndrome, basal cell nevus syndrome, and nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Its hallmark is an early onset of basal cell carcinoma. Additionally, the syndrome is characterized by a spectrum of distinct clinical attributes encompassing oral, skeletal, ophthalmic, neurological, and developmental aberrations. This condition arises due to anomalies in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, leading to constant pathway activity and uncontrolled growth of tumor cells. Early identification of the disorder through available diagnostic methods and clinical and radiological findings is crucial for accurate diagnosis, which subsequently leads to the formulation of an effective treatment regimen. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the role of a dentist in early detection based on various author-prescribed criteria and the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients with this syndrome.

Introduction and importance: Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic, localized granulomatous infectious disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi that predominantly affects the mucosal membranes of the nose and nasopharynx, conjunctiva, and urethra. Rhinosporidium seeberi is a eukaryotic pathogen that spreads in certain geographical areas, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas, through aquatic exposure. Case presentation: We present the case of a young man who had been suffering from a right nasal mass for four months, and whose diagnosis was confirmed after surgical excision and histopathological examination, which revealed distinct pathognomonic findings. Laser-assisted endoscopic excision, in combination with Dapsone, is recommended as a more effective treatment to prevent a recurrence. Clinical discussion: For clinicians, it has been advised to obtain a detailed case history of exposure in patients diagnosed with Rhinosporidiosis. Rhinosporidiosis can be diagnosed with a simple examination of H&E-stained histopathological sections. Because chemotherapy has not been proven to be effective, Laser-assisted endoscopic excision, in combination with Dapsone is the recommended treatment for Rhinosporidiosis. Conclusion: One of the differential diagnoses for Rhinosporidiosis in the nasal cavity is masses or abnormal growths without bleeding, which should be kept in mind by clinicians and pathologists.
