Objective: To apply the functionally generated path (FGP) technique for modeling the occlusal surface of a computer-aided-design (CAD) posterior full crown to obtain anatomic morphology.
Methods: A patient with defected left mandibular first molar was employed. After tooth preparation and impression making, the gypsum working cast and die were scanned with a digitized mechanical scanner and the surface data was acquired. The interocclusal records at intercuspal position (ICP) and FGP were made in the patient's mouth. These records were placed on the working cast and their surfaces were scanned. In the process of the computer-aided designing full crown, the cusps and fossae of the occlusal surfaces were accurately modified according to the digitized information of ICP and FGP interocclusal records.
Results: A full crown was designed and the occlusal morphology of the restoration was adapted to dynamic occlusion as well as static occlusion.
Conclusions: The FGP technique was practical for the CAD of full crown and could avoid potential occlusal interferences with opposing teeth during function.

Objective: This case report presents the interdisciplinary retreatment of a patient with a worn full-mouth rehabilitation using defect-oriented restorations, horizontal preparations, and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) increase.
Clinical Considerations: A 58-year-old woman with a previous full-mouth rehabilitation presented with worn dentition, loss of VDO, and reduced posterior support. Examination revealed signs of parafunctional habits, tetracycline-stained teeth, and compromised aesthetics with exposed discolored teeth and open embrasure spaces.

Introduction: Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) serve as a reliable assessment tool for clinical and competency evaluation. Traditional OSCEs, involving live patients, present logistical challenges and evoke student anxiety. In an effort to create a comprehensive clinical series of examinations, electronic OSCEs (e-OSCEs) were developed for assessing clinical competencies in prosthodontics at a large dental school.

Objectives: This study aims to explore the effect of improving clinical efficiency by replacing traditional impression workflow with centralized digital impression workflow.
Methods: The department of prosthodontics in Center of Stomatology, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital has improved the clinical workflow by replacing the traditional impression made by doctors using impression materials for each patient with a centralized digital impression made by one technician for all patients in the department. This cross-sectional study recorded the chairside time required for impression taking in patients undergoing single posterior zirconia full crown restoration before clinical process improvement; the time required for centralized digital impression production; the comfort level of patients; and the adjacency relationship, occlusal contact relationship, and time required for prostheses adjusting (i.

Background: Various surgical techniques have recently been developed for periodontal tissue regeneration, especially those do not involve any incisions in the interdental papillae at the regeneration site. These techniques have significant advantages for obtaining clinical attachment gain with least amount of gingival recession, however, may also have disadvantages such as limited field of surgical view, difficulty in debridement, and limited access only from the buccal side. This case report addresses a 2-year follow-up with a novel surgical approach to achieve periodontal regeneration that overcomes these limitations: the flexible tunnel technique (FTT).

Metabolomics measures low molecular weight endogenous metabolites and changes linked to contaminant exposure in biota. However, few studies have explored the relationship between metabolomics and contaminants in Arctic wildlife. We analyzed 239 endogenous metabolites and ∼150 persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including total mercury (THg), in the liver of polar bears and their ringed seal prey harvested from low Canadian Arctic (western Hudson Bay; WHB) and high Arctic (HA) locations during 2015-2016.
