Photography is both an art and an inexhaustible source of information. The nature of the environment, the small sizes and distances involved, the difficulty of access, make clinical photography an art as well as a science. It is essential for the dental surgeon who wants to improve and go further. However, still very few practitioners use it.¿ Many preconceived ideas exist about photography in dentistry: It is a complex and time-consuming procedure which requires prior training, due to the diversity of its equipment and the precision of the shooting techniques for reliability. the image. ¿In this work we will try to detail the different parameters of the smile and to clarify preconceived ideas about dental photography. In the first part, we will detail the aesthetic references and the methods of analyzing the smile. ¿In a second part, we will detail the major interests of photography in the dental office and in the prosthesis department and we will simplify the technical aspects by focusing on the knowledge necessary for the choice of its equipment and for daily practice in dentistry.

Stem cells play a pivotal role in periodontal regeneration due to their unique ability to transform into various specialized cell types. In periodontal therapy, these cells hold immense promise as they can differentiate into specific tissues like bone, periodontal ligament, and cementum, crucial for repairing and regenerating damaged structures in the gums and supporting bones. Researchers explore different sources of stem cells, including dental pulp, periodontal ligament, and even adipose tissue, harnessing their regenerative potential to combat periodontal diseases. These cells are manipulated and guided to differentiate into the required cell types, promoting tissue repair and regeneration. Stem cell-based therapies offer a futuristic approach in addressing periodontal issues by promoting natural regeneration and potentially revolutionizing treatment strategies for gum diseases and bone loss associated with periodontitis. This comprehensive book serves as an exhaustive and meticulous presentation of stem cell therapies, elucidating their pivotal role in periodontal regeneration while exploring diverse sources of these cells.
