Augmented reality assisted intraoral scanning of mandibular arch: A proof-of-concept pilot clinical study.

Objectives: To investigate whether the scanning time, trueness and number of photos are influenced when augmented reality (AR) heads-up display (HUD) is utilized during the intraoral scan of fully dentate mandibular arches.

Methods: A total of 10 patients (6 females and 4 males) were included. The mandibular arch of each patient was scanned twice using an intraoral scanner (Trios4 Pod IOS: 3Shape): one with and one without AR-HUD (ML2; Magic Leap).

Influence of scan technology on the accuracy and speed of intraoral scanning systems for the edentulous maxilla: An in vitro study.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of three intraoral scanners in terms of trueness and precision relative to the scanner acquisition technology and scan capture mode. Scan speed of each scanner was also evaluated.

Materials And Methods: An edentulous maxillary arch was digitized (reference model) and 3D-printed using an SLA-based 3D-printer (XFAB; DWS, Italy) (n = 10).

A nationwide survey assessing the satisfaction of dental colleges graduates with their undergraduate experience in Saudi Arabia.

Objective: To date, there are no publications on the Saudi graduates' perceived value of their dental curriculum. The aim of this nation-wide survey was to investigate graduates' satisfaction with specific disciplines of their dental education and training. The first part of this study addressed findings according to the respondents' gender and the number of years of postgraduate experience (Graduate-related factors).

Attitude and levels of awareness toward organ donation and transplantation among healthcare providers: A cross-sectional study.

End-stage organ damage is the major cause of death worldwide. The number of donors is low, and one of the challenging phases in organ donation is the availability of organ donors. There are many studies that suggest a strong correlation between knowledge and beliefs toward organ donation.
