Is dynamic computer-assisted surgery more accurate than the static method for dental implant placement? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Statement Of Problem: Dynamic computer-assisted surgery for dental implant placement has become popular, but systematic comparisons of the accuracy of computer-assisted surgery with static surgery are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine evidence on the difference in the accuracy of dynamic computer-assisted surgery compared with the static method for dental implant placement.

Material And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in 3 electronic databases: PubMed, Ovid, and Cochrane.

Comparison of patient satisfaction between complete dentures fabricated using "conventional" and "cephalometric angular reconstruction" vertical dimension procedures: A multicenter randomized clinical trial.

Aim: In Prosthodontics, during complete denture fabrication, conventional methods employed to determine occlusal vertical dimension require patient co-operation. Hence, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the 'cephalometric angular reconstruction' procedure in the calculation of these lost dimensions.

Settings And Design: Multicentric randomised clinical trial conducted in four dental hospitals.
