Aim: Fixed retention is the method of choice for permanent stabilization of the treatment outcome. In recent years, CAD/CAM techniques have been developed to produce retainers with high precision and tension-free fit. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the suitability of a semi-industrial retainer manufacturing process (office-based construction, external laboratory manufacturing) in terms of positioning accuracy and post-treatment changes.

Introduction: The incidence of anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has been increasing over the last decades. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection accounts for more than 90% of anal cancers, and HIV co-infection increases the risk of invasive cancer. Men who have sex with men (MSM) with HIV are the highest risk group for developing anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (aHSILs), which can be found in 45%-50% of these patients and are precursor lesions for invasive cancer.

Treating old mandibular fractures with malunion is challenging due to the need for osteotomy and interference between bone segments, complicating occlusal restoration. This technical note introduces a novel office-based digital workflow utilizing surgical guides. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) data were imported into MIMICS software for virtual surgical planning to precisely realign bone fragments based on anatomical and occlusal relationships.

Office-based testing, enhanced by advances in imaging technology, is routinely used in eye care to non-invasively assess ocular structure and function. This type of imaging coupled with autonomous artificial intelligence holds immense opportunity to diagnose eye diseases quickly. Despite the wide availability and use of ocular imaging, there are several factors that hinder optimization of clinical practice and patient care.
