The Verified Intraoral Scanning Workflow for the Full Arch Implant Patient.

The authors have questioned the accuracy of intraoral scanning when restoring the full arch implant patient. Yet clinicians use intraoral scanning (IOS) for this purpose due to the many efficiencies that the IOS workflow offers. This article describes a workflow that is used to enhance the accuracy of the intraoral scan without the need to use photogrammetry.

Modified gastrocnemius splitting anatomic approach to the tibial plateau. Medium-term evaluation.

Background: Posterior tibial plateau fractures, including avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) insertion, represent a challenge for the orthopedic trauma surgeon. These injuries have gained a new perspective both diagnostically and therapeutically after the regular use of multiplanar computed tomography. In the herein study, we describe the outcome of patients sustaining a tibial plateau fracture with posterior articular involvement treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using our modified gastrocnemius splitting anatomic approach.

Clinician preferences for complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses: A survey of the membership of the Pacific Coast Society for Prosthodontics.

Statement Of Problem: Current in vivo and in vitro research has difficulty keeping pace with the rapid evolution of materials, protocols, and designs of the complete-arch fixed implant-supported prosthesis.

Purpose: The purpose of this survey was to determine the current prevalence of usage of various treatment modalities and materials for complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses.

Material And Methods: From November to December of 2018, a survey invitation was sent out to members of the Pacific Coast Society for Prosthodontics (PCSP).

Digital Workflows in the Management of the Esthetically Discriminating Patient.

Traditional methods of designing and creating restorations are being increasingly replaced by digital processes. Software and hardware platforms for esthetic restoration design allow for local computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) production. These systems are becoming ubiquitous and their strengths can be applied to the management of the esthetically discerning patient.

Accuracy of three digital workflows for implant abutment and crown fabrication using a digital measuring technique.

Statement Of Problem: The accuracy of a full digital workflow using an Atlantis abutment and a milled zirconia crown; a full digital workflow with a 3Shape split-file workflow using a zirconia abutment and crown; and an interrupted digital workflow using an Atlantis abutment and a milled zirconia crown is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare 2 full digital workflows relative to an interrupted workflow for restoring an implant with a custom abutment and crown. The secondary purpose of this study was to validate a digital means of measuring internal fit and marginal discrepancy using engineering software programs.
