Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of intraoral scanners (IOSs) for fabricating inlay, onlay, and veneer restorations.

Materials And Methods: A literature search was completed in five databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane. A manual search was also conducted.

Background: Monitoring the outcome and evolution of periodontitis treatment requires analyzing changes in the periodontium. However, traditional methods for analyzing volumetric changes in periodontal soft tissues have limitations due to their invasiveness or inaccuracy. The aim of this study was to measure the volumetric changes in periodontal tissues following scaling and root planing treatment using digital methods, such as the superimposition of pre- and post-treatment STL files Material and Methods: The study started with an initial periodontal examination and intraoral scanning.

Statement Of Problem: Intraoral scanners (IOSs) can be used to record the maxillomandibular relationship at centric relation (CR). The articulated digital scans can be imported into a dental computer-aided design (CAD) program and used to locate centric occlusion (CO); however, the accuracy of the CO recorded by using IOSs and a dental CAD program remains unknown.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the position of the CO located by using a conventional method and 4 IOSs combined with a dental CAD program.

Statement Of Problem: The extraction of fractured abutment screws can be a difficult challenge to overcome.

Purpose: To compare the removal capacity, dental implant connection damage, and time required to remove the fractured abutment screws between three drilling techniques and a conventional method.

Materials And Methods: A total of 180 prefabricated screw-retained abutments were intentionally fractured in internal connection dental implants after being subjected to a cyclic load and a static compression load.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how the roughness of surfaces in complete-arch implant-supported prostheses affects the adhesion and retention of microorganisms and compares four different CAD-CAM materials.
  • Forty milled prostheses were categorized into four groups based on two high-performance polymers and two types of zirconia, with surface roughness measured before and after an aging process that involved thermocycling.
  • Results showed that while all materials maintained similar initial surface roughness after aging, zirconia specifically experienced increased roughness, and the performance of the polymer materials was comparable or slightly better than that of zirconia.
