Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of teeth, gums, and bite through a multidisciplinary approach involving surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, and restorative techniques. Therefore, it is of interest to review recent innovations, including digital imaging, composite materials, robotic-assisted procedures, and advanced orthodontic systems. Key advancements were noted in teeth whitening, veneers, implants, bonding, and gum contouring. These developments are set to further improve clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and accessibility in cosmetic dental care.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a revolutionary tool in the detection and monitoring of cancer: a minimally invasive, highly sensitive approach to analysing tumor-specific DNA in the bloodstream. Therefore, it is of interest to explore the current and evolving landscape of cancer genomics as precision tools in quantifying tumor dynamics. Thus, the role of ctDNA in tracking minimum residual disease, relapse, recurrence and the tailoring of therapeutic strategies for effective management of tumours is reviewed.

Extracorporeal radiation therapy is a new limb-salvaging procedure increasingly used, especially in situations where it may not be possible to carry out complete surgical resection. Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumour of bone that, typically, presents in young people, and often, it is managed by using different modes of treatment, which include surgery and chemotherapy. This therapy involves the removal of the involved segment of bone, its extracorporeal irradiation, followed by re-implantation to preserve limb function and reduce the risk of recurrence. Therefore, it is of interest to review the effectiveness of, clinical uses, and results of ECRT, focusing on its benefits in terms of bony conservation and decreased complications with either prosthetics or allografts. Promising local control and survival rates further cement its potential.
