Future of Using Robotic and Artificial Intelligence in Implant Dentistry.

The integration of robotic technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in implant dentistry has ushered in a new era of precision and efficiency. This abstract aims to understand the integration, implications, potential, and challenges of robotic technology and AI in implant dentistry. Robotic systems offer unparalleled accuracy in implant placement, reducing human error and improving treatment outcomes.

Influence of Different Luting Cements on the Shear Bond Strength of Pretreated Lithium Disilicate Materials.

Aims: The aim of the study was to examine the shear bond strength of different luting cements bonding to pre-treated lithium disilicate materials.

Materials And Methods: Sixty A2 shade lithium disilicate discs were subjected to either micro-etch with aluminum trioxide and etching by 10% hydrofluoric acid (micro-etch group; = 30); or etching with 10% hydrofluoric acid (acid-etch group; = 30) before cementation. Three dual-cure Variolink Esthetic (VDC), RelyX Ultimate (RUT), and RelyX Unicem (RUC) and three light-cure Variolink Veneer (VV), Variolink Esthetic (VLE), RelyX Veneer (RV) resin cements were used for cementation.
