In today's time, the key to achieve the successful restoration is the selection of the proper dental cement. The proper selection of the dental cement ultimately increases the survival rate of the prosthesis or the restoration. From the past few years many new dental cements recently developed and claims better properties as compared to the traditional cements.

Temporomandibular disorders usually represented as a group of painful as well as altered conditions involving the muscles of mastication and the muscles around the temporomandibular joint. Usually the patient are un aware of the condition. Temporomandibular joint disorders affects twenty five percent of the population. Temporomandibular disorders represent with musculoskeletal degenerative conditions of the joint which results in functional as well as morphological deformities of the temporomandibular joint. As temporomandibular disorders cases are complex with unique nature with respect to each case, so the diagnosis and treatment modality is quite different for each type of case.   Keywords: Temporomandibular disorder, Management of temporomandibular disorder, Etiology of temporomandibular disorder, Internal disc derangement, Internal capsule, Glenoid fossa.

During the spread of pandemic disease, dental practice come across the highest risk of corona virus infection by the exposure from patient saliva, aerosols generation during the dental procedure, blood contamination during oral surgical procedure. This virus can be transmitted from symptomatic to asymptomatic individual through aerosol spread, saliva contamination. Due to its ability of airborne transmission, so aerosols generated through natural activity or during the time of any dental treatment procedure has the ability to transmit the virus from infected person to the surrounding person.   Keywords : Pandemic, Covid - 19, Dental practice.

The process of deploying the two dimensional data in to the three dimensional format is three dimensional imaging. Now a days three dimensional imaging is developing as an emerging factor in the field of dentistry. Three dimensional imaging is useful in the field of orthodontics, to view the anatomy along with the morphology of the bone for desired tooth movement, it is useful in the field of prosthodontics to check or verify the bone morphology, exact height and width of the bone for the process placing implant, three dimensional imaging is quite useful in the field of endodontics along with oral surgery to view the anatomy of the root curvature, to confirm the presence of accessory canals to confirm the bony architectural defect in oral surgical procedures. So in present days three dimensional imaging plays an important role in diagnosis as well as treatment planning in the field of dentistry.   Keywords: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Orthodontic implants used to provide an anchorage that is useful for the straightening of teeth. These implants are called orthodontic mini-implants/micro-screws and serve as temporary implants. Here in this discussion, we are going to study about indications, contraindications, risk factors associated with the implants. Keywords: Onplants, Orthodontics.

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the patient’s throat muscles intermittently relax and block the airway during sleep, the initial sign of the OSA is snoring or sometimes it may be asymptomatic in the 1st stage of its clinical course. Although, OSA is related to sleep and respiration, but it’s non-surgical as well as surgical management can also be done in dental practice apart from the medical and surgical management, and lifestyle modification. And so, in this article, we are going to study about the obstructive sleep apnea and its management along with its clinical features, classification, complication and also the role of the dentist in OSA. Keywords: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
