A beautiful smile has a great impact on the quality of life. It gives you confidence, and makes you function with a positive attitude, which will eventually bring the joy and happiness to daily lives. As dental practitioners, our mission is to bring back the bright smile of the people who come to see us. Restoring masticatory function is one thing but one should always remember that the esthetics should always come first in any kind of restorative procedures. When treating complex rehabilitation cases, treatment planning is probably the most important step before you start any dental procedures. Obviously, esthetics should be the ultimate goal of the treatment and one should approach a case step by step to achieve an optimal result. For the past few years, "digital smile design" has been introduced in the field of dentistry. It can be applied by using various methods and tools. In this article, a very basic form of 2-dimensional digital smile designing was utilized to treat a complete mouth rehabilitation case. We will discuss how the DSD concept can be applied to your daily practice with a simple photograph and photoshop.

They were divided into two groups: one experimental group and one control group. Participants in the experimental group engaged in chat with a chatbot during the eight-week experimental period. Before and after the experiment, pre- and post-tests were administered to see if their English vocabulary improved. Pre- and post- surveys were also performed to understand how the participants perceived chatbot-assisted vocabulary learning. Results show that the experimental group improved their vocabulary skills as a result of engaging in chat with the chatbot.

The contract was established in keeping with the product diversification strategy of the company after a crisis due to opening of the market, taking advantage of the clean environment of Gochang-gun and positive attitudes of the local government and dairy farmers. The expansion of the participating farms led to a production gap among dairy farms in the region; however, the overall concern over the conventional practice of contract farming was mitigated as the organic farming spread with the conversion of the contract farms to organic farms.
