Objectives: Report the results with a novel workflow of digital restoration for completely edentulous patients with implant supported full arch fixed dental prostheses (ISFDP).
Methods: This multicenter retrospective clinical study was based on the evaluation from a cohort of 29 patients restored with 37 ISFDP designed and manufactured from the data captured by a direct intraoral scan, using a novel full digital system (NEXUS IOS®, Osteon Medical, a Keystone Dental Group company, Melbourne, Australia). Data was collected over a 3-year period, in six different dental centers.
Objectives: The aim of the ITI Consensus Workshop on zygomatic implants was to provide Consensus Statements and Clinical Recommendations for the use of zygomatic implants.
Materials And Methods: Three systematic reviews and one narrative review were written to address focused questions on (1) the indications for the use of zygomatic implants; (2) the survival rates and complications associated with surgery in zygomatic implant placement; (3) long-term survival rates of zygomatic implants and (4) the biomechanical principles involved when zygoma implants are placed under functional loads. Based on the reviews, three working groups then developed Consensus Statements and Clinical Recommendations.

Background: Zygomatic implants are a treatment option for severely atrophic maxilla.
Main Text: This study aimed to summarize and evaluate systematic reviews assessing the clinical outcomes of zygomatic implants including survival/failure rate and complications. PubMed-MEDLINE, Google Scholar, LILACS, and the Cochrane Database were searched up to April 2020.
Purpose: The goal of this systematic review is to assess the accuracy and complications (including failure) of dynamic navigation in placing zygomatic implants.
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library (CENTRAL), trial register (clinicaltrial.gov), and Google Scholar were searched systematically up to May 2020.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to obtain information about the resident selection and Match process that occurred for the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA)-accredited Advanced Education in Prosthodontics program in North America from the program directors' perspective, after the first year of implementation.
Materials And Methods: The list of Advanced Education in Prosthodontics program in CODA-accredited North American institutions was obtained from the ACP central office, and the directors of each program were identified. The surveys were distributed to 48 program directors online and results were compiled.

Purpose: To report on the outcome of placement of two bilateral zygomatic implants with an immediately loaded prosthesis.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of all patients treated with zygomatic implants between August 1, 2011 and June 6, 2016. All patients had at least two zygomatic implants placed bilaterally and immediately loaded with a provisional prosthesis the same day of implant placement.
Statement Of Problem: Zygomatic implants have been utilised for the treatment of the severely atrophic maxilla since 1998. However, few articles exist as to the success of zygomatic implants and immediate loading of its prosthesis.
Aim: To systematically review the outcome of immediate loaded zygomatic implants.
Purpose: To compare the removal of torque values of machined implant abutment connections (internal and external) with and without soft tissue entrapment using an in vitro model.
Materials And Methods: Thirty external- and 30 internal-connection implants were embedded in urethane dimethacrylate. Porcine tissue was prepared and measured to thicknesses of 0.

The socket or ridge preservation approach known as the "ice cream cone" technique was used in type 2 sockets in this retrospective analysis of 11 extraction sites. A type 2 extraction socket is defined as having the presence of facial soft tissue with a partial or complete dehiscence of the buccal bone plate. All teeth were extracted atraumatically without flap elevation.

This is further complicated by significant alterations in facial esthetics and lowered self-esteem. This clinical treatment will describe the fabrication of a two-piece tooth-retained maxillofacial prosthesis.
