In the last decade or so dentistry has undergone a complete image makeover with dentists no longer being associated only with pain relief or disease management only. Today more and more patients seek dental treatment for restoring or even enhancing the smile. Pediatric dentistry with its unique challenge of managing little children has had overcome the traditional mindset of parents that deciduous teeth are temporary and they do not warrant treatment.
Greater awareness towards oral health as well as an understanding by the parents that decay in their child’s front teeth may rob the child of his/her smile has ensured that pediatric dentistry has jumped onto the “aesthetic bandwagon.”

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. Case 1: Laminate Veneers on Refractory Model
The patient presented with direct
restorations that were replaced three
times over a four-year period after a
sports-related trauma. The restorations
had color deficiencies, stained
margins, and lack of gloss. The patient
did not want a radical change,
therefore two laminate feldspathic
veneers were chosen for treatment.
5. Conservative tooth preparation after determining the cervical, lingual, and interproximal finishing lines.
The retraction cords were placed to facilitate finishing of the margins.
After removal of the restorations and refinement of the dental
preparations, favorable remnant dental tissue was observed.
This was very important for the ceramist due to the fact that it
allowed for the planning of the ceramic stratification.
6. Observe how the dentin-colored ceramic is needed
to compensate for the loss of dentin tissue.
Wash-bake and opaque dentin ceramics must
be layered carefully to control light reflection
from the abutment.
Final master cast before preparations to
produce the final restorations with the
index guide.
7. Silicone gingiva was used to create the emergence profile.
The application began with more saturated layers in the cervical
region. Then the vestibular margin crests were built until the
final dentin shape was obtained.
(a) The shape is sculpted to create the anatomical form. (b) Dentin layer buildup. (c) Dentin ceramic is built up in
full contour according to the diagnostic wax-up.
a b c
8. The internal effects were achieved after an incisal reduction
of the dentin for the subsequent application of layers for
absorption and reflection of light. Opalescent ceramic was
used as a final layer before the first bake.
(a) Dentin ceramic was cut back. (b) At the incisal edges, the mamelons were shaped to conform to the
transparency. (c) Layering of feldspathic ceramic onto the refractory dies to build up the incisal wall and proximal
aspect.
a b c
9. After the first bake, the incisal ceramic was used on the
restoration’s entire surface. The final bake allowed the
ceramic layers to be observed.
(a) Enamel layer buildup. It is important not to overbuild ceramics when fabricating laminate veneers.
(b) Completed ceramic layering.

10. Macro and micro texture was performed for better
individualization of the veneers.
(a) Final shape. (b) Final texture of the laminate veneers.

11. The esthetic potential of veneers fabricated with feldspathic
ceramic on a refractory model is an excellent option to solve
esthetic problems in the anterior region, as seen 30 days after
final veneers were placed.
12. Case 2: Anterior Crowns Over Different Substrates
Patient presented with a deficient
porcelain fused-to-metal restoration and
metal post in the upper right incisor,
darkening of the upper right lateral
incisor due to a previous endodontic
treatment, and extensive vestibular and
palatine composite resin restorations in
the upper left central and lateral incisors.
13. A situation that represents great challenge is the differences
between substrates.
Intraoperative views of the abutment tooth after crown preparation.
a b
14. Selecting the correct ceramic is important to prevent the
unfavorable substrates from negatively influencing the esthetics
of the final result; therefore it was decided to fabricate ceramic
crowns using a stratification technique. A fine layer of ceramic
wash was applied for better adhesion and control of the
luminosity.
The copings in position on the solid model.
15. Ceramic layering started on the cervical region until the full
shape was conformed. Incisal cuts were made to apply the
internal effects.
Ceramic layering.
a b
16. Evaluate ceramics for necessary corrections. An incisal
layer was used to complete the final shape of the crowns.
Completed crown restorations on the solid cast before finishing: (a) Ideal positioning of the line angles for optimal
light reflection. (b) Texture and final form.
a b
17. The final outcome shows how the shape, texture, and color
favored the integration and how selecting the right ceramic
system prevented the different substrates from negatively
influencing the new restorations.
18. Case 3: Single Anterior Crown Over Unfavorable Substrate
Patient presented with a provisional
crown and wished to have a definitive
restoration.
19. Once the provisional was removed, an obscured dental
remnant with a composite resin was found. To mask the
unfavorable dental tissue it is necessary to use a material that
possesses enough opacity to hide the tooth, but at the same
time delivers an adequate chromatic base for the
stratification. Therefore, a zirconia coping was created.

(a) Prepared tooth with grave
discoloration in the cervical area
superior.
(b) Clinical appearance of
zirconia copings positioned
above the abutment.
20. After the first ceramic bake it is helpful to make a try-in, which
will allow evaluation of the ceramic stratification.
(a) Masking porcelain (100%) was applied to the ceramic core. No difference can be observed in color and light
reflection compared to the natural right central incisor. (b) Similar translucency at the incisal edge is evident
between the incisors. (c) After the first bake try-in, the ceramic crown on the left central incisor masks the dark
color in the cervical area.
a b c
21. Small differences in color are always present; therefore, when
restoring a single tooth the shape and secondary characteristics
of morphology will play a very important role in the integration
of the restoration. Ten days after cementation, it was possible
to see that the shape, texture, and color were very close to the
patient’s natural teeth, achieving a good integration.
