Complications and Patient Satisfaction in Fully Edentulous Patients Treated with a Digital and Conventional Complete Denture, A Cross-Over Clinical Study.

Purpose: The objective of this clinical study was to evaluate comfort, satisfaction, chewing ability and complications with digital complete dentures (DCD) and conventional complete dentures (CCD).

Materials And Methods: For 16 edentulous patients, two sets of upper and lower dentures were fabricated by students in a university dental clinic. The impression for the DCD was done using indirect scanning of the cast.

Fracture resistance of hybrid ceramic abutments with different restoration lengths: A pilot study.

Aim: In this pilot study, the fracture resistance of hybrid abutments with different restoration lengths was investigated.

Materials And Methods: Sixteen monolithic zirconia restorations of an upper right incisor were designed to fit a titanium base abutment. Eight central incisors had a crown length of 8 mm (T1) and the other half a length of 12 mm (T2).

Proof of Concept of a New 3D-Guided System for a Single Implant Overdenture in the Mandible: An In Vitro Study.

Purpose: To evaluate the precision and efficiency of a novel guide system for single implant placement in the mandibular symphyses and to evaluate whether the outcome is affected by the level of operator experience.

Materials And Methods: A total of 90 implants were placed in three different mandibular cast types (Cawood and Howell class III, IV, and V). For each model, a complete denture was 3D printed.

Novel complete-arch pillar system (CAPS) to register implant position and maxillomandibular relationship in one single visit.

Objectives: This article presents a novel complete-arch pillar system (CAPS) to register implant position and maxillomandibular relationship in one single visit for implant-supported fixed complete dental prostheses (IFCDPs).

Material And Methods: The novel system presents a 3-unit toolset comprising intraoral scan bodies (ISBs), lateral pillar attachments (LPAs) and occlusal pillar attachments (OPAs). A 2-stage single visit workflow by an intraoral scanner (Trios 5) was introduced.

Accuracy of a chairside reverse scanbody workflow for a complete arch implant-supported prosthesis using four intraoral scanners versus a desktop scanner.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a chairside reverse scanbody workflow for a complete arch implant-supported prosthesis using four intraoral scanners (IOSs) and a desktop scanner.

Material And Methods: A complete arch implant-supported interim prosthesis was designed and milled in polymethylmethacrylate. Six reverse scanbodies (ScAnalog) were connected to the implant-prosthetic connections and twenty scans were made extraorally using four IOS devices (TRIOS 3, TRIOS 5, Primescan v.
