A Digital Workflow for the Fabrication of a Milled Removable Partial Denture.

Article Synopsis
- Complete dentures made using both additive and subtractive methods are common and clinically acceptable, but removable partial dentures (RPDs) face limitations in digital fabrication due to the technique sensitivity of pink resin encasement.
- This article describes a new digital workflow that utilizes the subtractive method to create RPDs, allowing for the milling of both the metal framework and denture base with sockets for teeth.
- The innovative process results in customized artificial teeth and minimizes issues like resin shrinkage, presenting a viable digital alternative to traditional analog fabrication methods for RPDs.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how different methods of registration for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scans affect accuracy and duration, specifically in relation to the number of dental restorations compared to natural teeth.
- A total of 36 patients were analyzed, and while the accuracy of registration methods was comparable, the time taken varied significantly, with deep learning-based methods being the fastest.
- Results showed that higher ratios of dental restorations lead to decreased accuracy and shorter registration times, emphasizing the impact of restorations on the registration process regardless of the method used.*
Both schistosomes and malaria parasites produce hemozoin and cause host anaemia. However, the relationship between anaemia and hemozoin is unclear. Although some studies have proposed that hemozoin is related to anaemia in malaria patients, whether hemozoin alone can cause anaemia in patients infected by malaria parasites or schistosomes is uncertain.
