Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the accuracy of dental casts for fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made through digital versus traditional (analog) methods, specifically looking at how the shape of the abutment teeth influences this accuracy.
- Researchers used intraoral scanning and various additive manufacturing techniques to create both digital and plaster casts, assessing their accuracy through measurement deviations compared to a reference model.
- Results showed that both the manufacturing technique and the geometry of the abutment teeth significantly impacted the accuracy of the casts, indicating that not all methods yield equally precise outcomes depending on these variables.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect that microgrooved abutments may have on peri-implant tissues. After the flapless extractions of the mandibular premolars of eight dogs, four Laser-Lok implants were placed in each mandibular quadrant, and half of them received laser-microgrooved abutments. A xenograft (MinerOss X, BioHorizons) was used in the gaps.
