Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma (MRCL) is characterized as a soft tissue sarcoma that is associated with unusual patterns of metastasis to extrapulmonary sites, such as bones and other soft tissue sites. Here, we present a case of a 48-year-old male patient, diagnosed with MRCL. The patient presented with a grade 1 myxoid liposarcoma in his left leg.

Statement Of Problem: The clinical efficacy of selective laser melting (SLM) for fabricating removable partial dentures (RPDs) is not well established.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the performance of SLM-fabricated frameworks with that of those fabricated via traditional lost wax casting.

Material And Methods: A double-blind, randomized, crossover design was used to compare cobalt chromium partial denture frameworks (n=29) fabricated by using SLM or traditional methods.

A 67-year-old male patient was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in April 2018. Chromosome analysis showed an abnormal male karyotype with an isodicentric chromosome 7q resulting in deletion 7q and two copies of 7p and a derivative chromosome 18 in 13 of the 20 metaphase cells examined. This karyotype was described as 46,XY,idic(7)(q11.

Purpose: To study the effect of implant analog system, print orientation, and analog holder radial offset on 3D linear and absolute angular distortions of implant analogs in 3D printed resin models.

Materials And Methods: A sectional master model simulating a 2-implant, 3-unit fixed prosthesis in a partially edentulous jaw was fabricated. Three implant analog systems for 3D printed resin models-Straumann (ST), Core3DCentres (CD) and Medentika (MD)-were tested.

Purpose: Prior studies have defined the accuracy of intraoral scanner (IOS) systems but the accuracy of the digital static interocclusal registration function of these systems has not been reported. This study compared the three-dimensional (3D) accuracy of the digital static interocclusal registration of 3 IOS systems using the buccal bite scan function.

Materials And Methods: Three IOS systems compared were 3M True Definition Scanner (TDS), TRIOS Color (TRC), and CEREC AC with CEREC Omnicam (CER).

Purpose: To compare the three-dimensional (3D) accuracy of conventional impressions (CIs) with digital scans (DSs) using an intraoral scanner (IOS) with intraoral scan bodies (SBs) and varying buccolingual interimplant angulations. A secondary aim was to measure the SB machining tolerance and height with and without application of torque.

Materials And Methods: Three master models (MMs) with two implants simulating an implant-supported three-unit fixed partial denture for bone-level implants were used.
