FitJaw Mobile, a virtual reality device applied to dentistry: An analysis based on two patient treatments.

Statement Of Problem: Virtual reality (VR) has improved significantly in the last decade and has been applied to different fields, including medicine, dentistry, and physiotherapy. VR has been used for the innovative treatment of painful conditions, especially when traditional exercise therapies were unsuccessful because of patient noncompliance.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the use of VR as an aid when using exercises to manage temporomandibular disorders (TMDs).

How the geometry of the scan body affects the accuracy of digital impressions in implant supported prosthesis. study.

Background: To determine and compare how three-dimensionally accurate scan bodies of different geometric shapes are placed over 6 implants (platform or crestal module).

Material And Methods: A master plaster model was made with 6 INHEX STD implant analogs made by Mozo-Grau S.A and 4 scan body types were compared.

Comparative analysis of smile esthetics between top celebrity smile and a Southern European population.

Statement Of Problem: The analysis of different parameters involved in the esthetic perception of the smile is important for the correct planning of cosmetic dental treatments.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the main parameters of smile esthetics among celebrities identified as having the best esthetic smiles and a young Southern European population.

Material And Methods: The study consisted of a control group of 144 dental students from the University of Seville (69.

A comparison of the passive fit of a 3-unit implant-supported fixed partial denture fabricated by lost-wax casting, milling soft metal blocks, or direct metal laser sintering: An in vitro study.

Statement Of Problem: Stresses induced by implant-supported prostheses are related to mechanical complications. However, how the manufacturing method affects the generated stresses is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the passive fit of 3-unit cobalt-chromium partial prostheses fabricated by using 3 different methods: conventional casting (milled resin with lost-wax method), machined (milling soft metal blocks), or sintered (direct metal laser sintering).

Esthetic assessment of celebrity smiles.

Statement Of Problem: Guidelines for planning esthetic outcomes are sparse. The present study evaluated the most noticeable characteristics of the celebrities with the most esthetic smiles.

Purpose: The purpose of this observational study was to assess the smiles of celebrities based on descriptive esthetic smile criteria and to compare male and female celebrity smiles based on dentally esthetic smiles.
