Treatment of Atrophic Ridges with Titanium Mesh: A Retrospective Study Using 100% Mineralized Allograft and Comparing Dental Stone Versus 3D-Printed Models.

This multicenter study retrospectively evaluated implant survival and bone growth in atrophic ridges that were augmented with titanium mesh and 100% mineralized solvent-dehydrated bone allografts (MSDBA). A secondary objective of this study was to evaluate differences in outcomes by diagnostic model type. Titanium mesh was shaped on a diagnostic wax-up of the patient's jaw: Twenty-three patients (Group 1) had wax-ups on dental stone models, and 16 patients (Group 2) had wax-ups on models fabricated with three-dimensional (3D) printing technology.

Thickness evaluation of articulating papers and foils.

Unlabelled: Articulation and occlusion test materials are tools used in daily prosthodontic and restorative procedures that aid the clinicians in the evaluation of adjacent and opposing natural and/or artificial tooth contacts. A precision micrometer (Series 293, Mitutoyo, Japan) with a resolution of 0.001 mm was used to measure the thickness of five articulating papers and six articulation foils.
