Background: This prospective two-center case series feasibility study aimed to investigate the potential of a novel maxillary protraction facemask customized to the patients' anatomy recorded with 3D face scanning and then produced by digital design and additive manufacturing.
Methods: Ten subjects (5 females and 5 males, average age 7.7±1.
Purpose: To evaluate interfacial three-dimensional adaptation and internal voids of different flowable materials before and after cyclic fatigue in a simulated deep-margin elevation scenario.
Methods: Eighty (n = 80) extracted premolars were selected and two Class II cavities were prepared. The mesial one with cervical margin 1 mm above the cementum-enamel junction (CEJ) and the distal one with cervical margin 1 mm below the CEJ.
Article Synopsis
- A survey of orthodontists in Italy, conducted by the Italian Society of Orthodontics, aimed to identify differences in the management of facemask treatment for Class III malocclusion, with 151 clinicians participating.
- The majority of respondents (60% specialists, 40% general dentists) indicated a treatment age for Class III patients between 5 and 8, recommending facemask wear for 9 to 12 months, typically in the afternoon and at night, with a force of 500 g per side.
- Significant differences emerged between specialists and general dentists regarding facemask types preferred and the timing of treatment, with specialists favoring the Petit type and viewing the final treatment period as crucial, while general dentists preferred Delaire's type and
The objective of this study was to review the scientific evidence currently available on 3D printable materials and 3D printing technologies used for the fabrication of permanent restorations, focusing on material properties that are clinically relevant. A literature search was performed on four databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science) for articles published from January 2013 until November 2023, using a combination of free words: (restorative dentistry OR prosthetic dentistry) AND (3D printing OR additive manufacturing OR rapid prototyping) AND materials. Two reviewers screened titles and/or abstracts of 2.

This review aims to report on the translucency of these materials and the variables used to measure it. An electronic search was performed within the PubMed database within the period between 2 June 2011 and 11 September 2022.
