Are Sleeves Necessary in Static Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery? A Comparative In Vitro Analysis.

Objectives: This study aims to examine differences in trueness and precision between surgical guides with (S) and without sleeves (SL). A secondary aim was to assess the impact of the sleeve-to-bone distance.

Materials And Methods: Mandible replicas (n = 120) were printed from an STL file obtained from a clinical CBCT.

Effect of Different Primers on Shear Bond Strength of Base Metal Alloys and Zirconia Frameworks.

Ensuring a secure bond between a framework structure and layering composite resin veneer is essential for a long-lasting dental restoration. A variety of primer systems are available to facilitate the adhesive bonding. Nevertheless, the growing preference for efficiency and simplicity in dentistry has made the one-bottle universal primers a desirable option.

Association between periodontal health status and quality of life: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Attachment loss due to periodontal diseases is associated with functional limitations as well as physical pain and psychological discomfort, which may lead to a reduced quality of life. The purpose of this study is to determine if the oral health status, specifically the periodontal status, influences oral health-related quality of life.

Materials And Methods: Survey data were collected in a US dental school clinical setting in a cross-sectional study.

An in vitro analysis of the accuracy of static and robot-assisted implant surgery.

Objectives: Robot-assisted implant surgery (RAIS) is purported to improve the accuracy of implant placement. The objective of this study was to compare RAIS with static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) in a controlled environment.

Materials And Methods: A total of n = 102 implants were placed in the same modified typodont (n = 17 repeated simulated implant surgeries with each n = 3 implants per group) using robot-assisted or static computer-assisted implant surgery.

Functional Load Capacity of Teeth with Reduced Periodontal Support: A Finite Element Analysis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional load capacity of the periodontal ligament (PDL) in a full arch maxilla and mandible model using a numerical simulation. The goal was to determine the functional load pattern in multi- and single-rooted teeth with full and reduced periodontal support. CBCT data were used to create 3D models of a maxilla and mandible.
