CAD-CAM complete digital dentures: An improved clinical and laboratory workflow.

The purpose of this article was to present a novel clinical workflow for the fabrication of complete dentures using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology. The dental technique consists of 3 clinical steps and 2 laboratory phases that result in the production of 2 CAD-CAM milled complete denture bases with prefabricated teeth. The integration of analog and digital procedures and materials maximizes their benefits in the planning and fabrication of complete dentures, with the goal of improving clinical outcomes.

An in-vitro study on accuracy of modular templates used to fully guide implants in combination with bone reduction for complete arch restorations: Experts versus students.

Objectives: This in-vitro study evaluates the accuracy of modular surgical templates used to fully guide implants in combination with bone reduction, performed by expert and students, for complete arch restorations.

Methods: All the procedures were performed by dental students of the final year and an expert clinician, on twelve edentulous mandible models. A virtual implant planning, simulating a complete arch restoration on six implants were performed.

Effect of Virtual Casts Superimposition Strategies on the Estimation of IOS Accuracy in Complete-Arch Scans.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the impact of three different strategies of best-fit (BF) alignments of virtual casts on the estimation of the accuracy of intraoral scanner (IOS) in complete-arch scans.

Methods: A maxillary typodont, modified with an Implant Scan Body (ISB) in the retroincisive area, was digitized using a desktop scanner (SW Optor Lab) to obtain a reference STL file. The typodont was then scanned 10 times using two IOSs (Trios4, Itero).

Accuracy of a new photometric jaw tracking system in the frontal plane at different recording distances: An in-vitro study.

Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of a new photometric jaw tracking system (JTS) in recording linear vertical movements in the frontal plane at different distances.

Methods: A mandibular plaster cast of a patient was placed on a simulation machine capable of linear movements along two spatial axes. Cyclops JTS (Itaka) was adapted to the plaster cast, while the head frame was attached to the simulation machine.

Investigation of the precision of a novel jaw tracking system in recording mandibular movements: A preliminary clinical study.

Objectives: This preliminary study aimed to clinically assess the precision of a novel optical jaw tracking system (JTS) in registering mandibular movements (MMs) of protrusion and mediotrusion.

Methods: Twenty healthy participants underwent recordings using Cyclops JTS (Itaka Way Med) for functional MMs of protrusion and laterotrusion by two trained clinicians. Each subject performed five registrations at different times according to a standardized pattern within one-month period.
