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.

The fracture strength and the failure mode of lithium disilicate or resin nano ceramics as a crown, overlay, or endocrown restoration on endodontically treated teeth.

Introduction: Different materials and restorative concepts have been proposed over the years to restore endodontically treated teeth (ETT). Monolithic ceramic and composite restoration can be lute to the tooh, without the use of a post. However, little is known how the material stiffness and presence of a composite core will affect the survival and failure mode.

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.
