Article Abstract
Aims And Background: The study of the morphology of soft tissues as well as hard tissues of the orofacial region holds prime importance. A very less information is known about the lips (soft tissues) and maxillo-mandibular arches (hard tissue structures) in primary dentition. Henceforth, there is a need to classify, find the prevalence and correlation of various lip shapes, and arch forms in primary dentition.
Materials And Methods: A total of 135 children aged 3-6 years were assessed over a period of 6 months. Lip shapes were classified into three major types: type I (arched upper lip), type II (flat upper lip), and type III (atypical cases). The arch forms were classified into ovoid, square-shaped, and tapered. The data was analyzed using Chi-squared test.
Results: The prevalence of lip shapes includes: type Ib (43.70%), type IIb (34.07%), type IIa (14.07%), type Ia (7.41%), and type III (0.74%). Arch form prevalence for maxilla, ovoid (79.26%), tapered (16.30%), and square (4.44%) shaped arch form while for mandible, ovoid (57.04%), square (36.30%), and tapered (6.67%) arch form.
Conclusion: The most prevalent lip shapes were type Ib followed by type IIb and the most common arch form was ovoid followed by tapered for maxilla and square for mandible. There was no significant correlation found between lip shapes and arch forms in primary dentition.
Clinical Significance: The knowledge of lip shapes in primary dentition would aid in rehabilitation of the abnormalities like cleft lip, electrical burns, etc., while the information on arch forms will support the fabrication of prefabricated appliances, correction of alveolar defects, etc.

Objective: To present a retrospective analysis, clinical picture, diagnostic and surgical tactics in the clinical observation of capillary blood vessel malformation.
Unlabelled: The article presents an analysis of a clinical case of capillary malformation in a 17-year-old boy who was admitted to the children's clinic of the Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery after inadequate, long-term treatment with various treatment methods for capillary-type blood vessel malformations in the lower lip area. Incorrectly chosen treatment tactics led to hypertrophy and scarring of soft tissue in the affected area.

Introduction: Aesthetic outcomes are increasingly vital in dental care, especially in achieving harmony between facial and dental features. Traditional smile design methods rely heavily on clinician judgment, which introduces subjectivity and variability. Digital Smile Design (DSD) offers an eco-friendly and standardized alternative, promoting improved aesthetic outcomes with reduced environmental impact.

Neocortical circuits consist of multiple neuronal cell types, each likely playing distinct roles in flexible behavior. However, studies of decision-making have often overlooked these cell types, limiting our understanding of their specific contributions to local circuit functions. To address this, we simultaneously recorded neuronal activity from the frontal eye field (FEF), lateral PFC, and lateral intraparietal area (LIP) in a macaque monkey performing a visuomotor decision-making task.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease elicited by mutations in the gene encoding the CF transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR). Complications associated with CF include airway blockade leading to lung damage, respiratory tract infection, etc. Ivacaftor (IVA), also known as VX-770, works by potentiating the CFTR, leading to improved chloride transport and relieving lung pulmonary complications.
