Recording maximal intercuspation and border positions of the mandible with intraoral scanner using the acquisition software's multi-occlusion function.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the accuracy of intraoral scanner (IOS) for recording maximal intercuspal position (MIP) and border positions of the mandible.

Materials And Methods: Maxillary and mandibular master casts were articulated in MIP, protrusive, and lateral interocclusal position sequentially on a semi-adjustable articulator. For each articulation relation, sites of occlusal contacts (SOCs) and sites of clearance (SCs) were identified on the master casts with articulating paper (reference sites).

Exploring cumulative identity-based discrimination, distress, and traumatic exposure among Muslims living in the United States.

Objective: Muslims living in the United States (MLUS), a highly heterogeneous group, experience high rates of discrimination that may cumulatively contribute to traumatic stress. This study explored whether identity-based discrimination (i.e.

Randomized clinical trial of zirconia laminate veneers sintered by using conventional versus speed process: 1-year follow-up.

Statement Of Problem: The application of highly translucent multilayered zirconia ceramic in minimally invasive esthetic dentistry allows the achievement of both esthetics and strength with minimal thickness. Clinical studies that have assessed the performance of zirconia ultrathin veneers sintered with the conventional and speed procedure are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of speed sintering processes on the translucency and clinical performance of zirconia laminate veneers.

Preparation of ultrathin translucent zirconia laminate veneers using 3D printing reduction guides.

Minimizing and controlling the amount of tooth reduction during the preparation of ultrathin laminate veneers is a challenge for minimally invasive dentistry. The use of reduction guides is advised to reach the optimal space required for the definitive restoration without excessive reduction. The digital production of a reduction guide used to control tooth preparation for ultrathin laminate veneers is described.
