Materials And Methods: Three hundred and six panoramic radiographs containing 400 roots with AP (an equal number for both jaws) were used to test the diagnostic performance of an AI system. Panoramic radiographs of the patients were selected with the terms 'apical lesion' and 'apical periodontitis' from the archive and then with the agreement of two oral and maxillofacial radiologists.
Background: There is limited knowledge on the effect of scan body (SB) material type, torque value, and sterilization on linear displacements of implant SBs.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of material type, torque value, and sterilization on linear displacements of SBs during screw tightening by using digital image correlation (DIC) analysis.
Materials And Methods: One polyetheretherketone (PEEK, Zfx Intraoral Scan Body) and one titanium SB (Ti, MPS Zimmer Scanbody R1410) were tightened with 5 Ncm torque on two implants (Zimmer TSV ⌀4.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical behavior of an implant-supported crown made using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) resin composite (RC) blocks in the posterior region.
Material And Methods: Four commercially available CAD-CAM RC blocks were used in this study: Cerasmart 300 (CS300; GC, Tokyo, Japan), Katana Avencia P Block (KAP; Kuraray Noritake Dental, Niigata, Japan); KZR HR3 Gamma Theta (HR3; Yamakin, Osaka, Japan), and Estelite P block (ESP; Tokuyama Dental, Tokyo, Japan). Katana Zirconia STML (ST; Kuraray Noritake Dental) was used as the control group.
