Smartphone application-based augmented reality for pre-clinical dental implant placement training: a pilot study.

Purpose: Precise implant placement is essential for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. Digital technologies, such as computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS), have improved implant outcomes. However, conventional methods such as static and dynamic CAIS (dCAIS) require complex equipment.

3D-Printed Temporary Wing Bride as a Temporary Restoration in the Posterior.

The fear of a missing tooth often leads to postponing the visit at the dentist. While extraction itself is a major stressful experience for the patient, the presence of visible gaps or missing teeth inside or outside the aesthetic zone is a deal breaker for a lot of patients. Bridging the time spent until inserting any final restoration with a provisional enables the patients to still take part in everyday life.

Influence of Multiple Used Implant Drills on Their Cutting Performance and Fracture Resistance.

This study aimed to analyze the influence of multiple uses of zirconia implant drills on their cutting performance and bending strength. The hypothesis was that drill usage and sterilization cycles would not affect drilling time or flexural strength. Sixty zirconia twist drills from Z-Systems were used to drill in the angulus mandibulae region of fresh porcine jaws.

Fracture strength test of digitally produced ceramic-filled and unfilled dental resin restorations via 3d printing: An study.

Background: Purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanical efficiency of 3D-printed permanent and provisional implant cemented fixed bridges produced via CAD/CAM technology using an interim and a permanent ceramic filled hybrid material.

Material And Methods: Two groups with twenty specimens each were designed and 3D-printed via digital light processing technology (DLP). A fracture strength test was performed.

Tunnel Fenestration of the Mandibula after Unsuccessful Post Traumatic Treatment: A Case Report of the One Year Follow-Up.

Particularly severe cases with tunneled defects are rarely reported and are described only in a few case reports. This case report describes the treatment of a tunnel fenestration in the lower central jaw after unsuccessful endodontic treatment following trauma of incisors 31 and 41 over the course of six years, which led to the development of an internal granuloma and a radicular cyst in the lower jaw. The patient presented with a 2.

Pull-off resistance of a screwless implant-abutment connection and surface evaluation after cyclic loading.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent cyclic load affects the screwless implant-abutment connection for Morse taper dental implants.

Materials And Methods: 16 implants (SICvantage max) and 16 abutments (Swiss Cross) were used. The screwless implant-abutment connection was subjected to 10,000 cycles of axial loading with a maximum force of 120 N.
