Evaluation of Sagittal Inclination of Occlusal Plane and Horizontal Condylar Guidance Using Various Anterior Reference Points on Arcon and Nonarcon Articulators.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of different anterior reference points during facebow transfer, on sagittal inclination of occlusal plane (SIOP) and horizontal condylar guidance (HCG) values obtained on arcon and nonarcon articulators.

Materials And Methods: Facebow records of 25 participants were made and transferred to Hanau Wide-Vue (WV) and Hanau H2 (H2) articulators using conventional indirect transfer (CIT), superior annular groove (SAG), and inferior annular groove (IAG) as anterior reference points. Maxillary casts were mounted on each articulator followed by mandibular mountings.

Reconstruction of a Craniofacial Defect Using Rapid Prototyping and an Autograft - A Case Report.

Rationale: Achieving predictable aesthetic results of large craniofacial defects has always been difficult, and it requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Patient Concern: The chief concern of the patient was poor aesthetics due to a congenital craniofacial defect.

Diagnosis: The patient was a known case of plexiform neurofibromatosis and had a congenital temporo-orbital bone defect of unknown origin.
