Article Synopsis
- - This study addresses the challenges in implant dentistry regarding accurate digital data positioning for patients with missing teeth, emphasizing the need for effective fiducial markers (reference points).
- - The researchers tested 15 different dental materials as fiducial markers to see which produced the least amount of radiographic artifacts on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, using 3D modeling software for analysis.
- - Findings revealed that flowable composite resin generated the least artifacts compared to other materials, suggesting it is a better choice for fiducial markers in CBCT imaging to enhance accuracy in dental implant procedures.
This study evaluated color stability and staining susceptibility of five direct resin-based composites (RBCs) subjected to light-activated in-office bleaching with 40% hydrogen peroxide (HP). The test materials included 5 RBCs, which consisted of one nano-filled, one sub-micron, one bulk-filled, and two nano-hybrid RBC types. Ten disc-shaped specimens of each RBC were fabricated and divided into bleaching (BLE) and non-bleaching (CON) groups ( = 5 for each group).

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the suitability of SLM-fabricated Co-Cr alloys followed by heat treatment as a framework for RPDs by determining the microstructure and mechanical properties.
Material And Methods: Dumbbell specimens and RPD frameworks were fabricated by using SLM followed by heat treatment.
Statement Of Problem: Although studies have reported on selective laser melting (SLM)-fabricated removable partial dentures (RPDs), research addressing the trueness of SLM-fabricated RPD metal frameworks is sparse.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the trueness of powdered cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) or titanium-6 aluminum-4 vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy frameworks for RPDs fabricated by SLM.
Material And Methods: A digital scan of a Kennedy class II mandible typodont was obtained to design an RPD framework by using a computer-aided design (CAD) software program (denoted as CRF).
