Fully digital workflow of an occlusal device including digital facebow record: A clinical report.

In many current digital workflows for the production of occlusal devices and dentures, the traditional facebow record for the individual determination of the hinge axis has been omitted. A novel digital facebow record procedure including a scannable occlusal fork is described as a straightforward to use, cost-effective, and less time-consuming alternative to close this gap in fully digital prosthetic workflows.

Desmoid fibromatosis in the pharyngeal wall: A case report and literature review.

Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is one of the rarest locally aggressive growing benign tumor entities. We present an overview of the literature and a rare clinical case of a 22-year-old female patient, who was diagnosed with aggressive DF in the left pharyngeal wall at the age of 4 years old.

Influence of the Manufacturing Method on the Adhesion of and to Oral Splint Resins.

Microbial adhesion to oral splints may lead to oral diseases such as candidiasis, periodontitis or caries. The present in vitro study aimed to assess the effect of novel computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and conventional manufacturing on and adhesion to oral splint resins. Standardized specimens of four 3D-printed, two milled, one thermoformed and one pressed splint resin were assessed for surface roughness by widefield confocal microscopy and for surface free energy by contact angle measurements.
