Purpose: This study evaluated the effects of screw preload loss on three implant systems, both in silico and in vitro.

Methods: Three finite element analysis (FEA) models of implant restorations were created using bone-level (BL, 4.8×12 mm; BLX, 4.

Objective: To examine the increased use of chairside CAD/CAM among Chinese dental practitioners, and to explore the existing barriers influencing its further application and satisfaction levels.

Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire was developed to gather respondents' demographic information, as well as their experiences and behaviours regarding the implementation of chairside CAD/CAM. A specialised web-based survey system and WeChat were used to display and distribute the final questionnaire.

Background: Mechanical complications affect the stability of implant restorations and are a key concern for clinicians, especially with the frequent introduction of new implant designs featuring various structures and materials. This study evaluated the effect of different prosthetic index structure types and implant materials on the stress distribution of implant restorations using both in silico and in vitro methods.

Methods: Four finite element analysis (FEA) models of implant restorations were created, incorporating two prosthetic index structures (cross-fit (CF) and torc-fit (TF)) and two implant materials (titanium and titanium-zirconium).

Statement Of Problem: Research on the current place of 3-dimensionally printed implant surgical guides (3D-ISGs) among practicing dentists worldwide is lacking, with little research focused on dentists' experience, knowledge, attitude, or professional behavior related to 3D-ISG or on the main obstacle to adoption.

Purpose: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to identify the adoption of 3D-ISG in dental practice in China and to determine factors that influence its further application and dentists' attitudes and willingness.

Material And Methods: Semistructured questionnaires were sent to a sample of Chinese dentists composed of users and nonusers of 3D-ISG.

This clinical report describes the immediate implant placement and restoration for a 47-yearold woman with a protruded and loose maxillary right central incisor. The treatment included minimally invasive extraction, flapless immediate implant placement using a fully guided surgical template, and immediate implant-supported provisionalisation. The interim anatomical prosthesis was fabricated in advance based on preoperative CBCT scans, and the digital technique made it possible to integrate data precisely from different sources.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of universal adhesive and silane pretreatment on the bond durability of metal brackets to dental glass ceramics. Eighty lithium disilicate glass ceramic specimens were randomly assigned to one of four groups (n = 20) defined by the pretreatment and adhesive used: (i) Adper Single Bond 2; (ii) silane + Adper Single Bond 2; (iii) Single Bond Universal; and (iv) silane +Single Bond Universal. Maxillary central incisor metal brackets were bonded on the ceramic surfaces with resin composite.
