Stackable Guides: Digital Workflows for Full Arch Dental Implant Rehabilitation.
Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am
January 2025
Department of Maxillofacial Prosthetics and Prosthodontics, Naval Medical Center San Diego California, USA.
Computer-guided full-arch dental rehabilitation, which is highly technique-sensitive, benefits from advancements in 3-dimensional-printed guides and open-source software. Critical pre-surgical planning includes patient selection, health history evaluations, and detailed imaging like cone beam computed tomography scans. Various surgical guides-freehand, static, dynamic, stackable, and interchangeable-are used based on case complexity, with stackable guides improving workflow efficiency.

Department of Data Analysis and Artificial Intelligence, Synapse Research Institute, Maastricht, Netherlands.
Background: The mechanism by which combined oral contraceptives (COCs) lead to hypercoagulation is not fully understood, although activated protein C (APC) pathway resistance has been implicated. APC and thrombomodulin (TM) tend to be considered as interchangeable reagents, even though their biological action in coagulation is different. However, it remains unclear which reagent is better suited for the detection of APC pathway resistance.

Geriatric Research Unit, Department of Medicine, Copenhagen University Hospital, Herlev and Gentofte, Gentofte, Denmark.
Purpose: We aimed to assess differences among older patients demonstrating low STS performance in the 30 s-STS and/or the 5r-STS.
Methods: 30 s-STS and 5r-STS were used to assess lower limb muscle strength and function in older adults. Analysis involved 376 patients (≥ 65 years) from a geriatric outpatient clinic for fall assessment.
Correlates and Comparability of Two Devices for Measuring Bite Force in Dentate Health Volunteers.
J Oral Rehabil
December 2024
Clinic of General-, Special Care- and Geriatric Dentistry, Center of Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Objective: This study aimed to correlate the bite/occlusal force measurements obtained through two methods: a hydraulic pressure gauge with a biting transducer (GM-10), and a computer-assisted device that records occlusal force on a pressure-sensitive film (Prescale II).
Methods: Healthy, dentate volunteers were recruited. Participants' demographic data included age, sex, number of teeth present, presence of oral pain, history of prior orthodontic treatment and presence of parafunction.

Article Synopsis
- Access to timely oral healthcare is essential for overall well-being, yet barriers still exist that prevent equal access.
- Teledentistry emerges as a viable solution to address these access issues, improving patient outcomes and the efficiency of oral healthcare delivery while also promoting cost savings and environmental benefits.
- The term "teledentistry" can be confusing due to varied terminology, but it fundamentally refers to using technology for remote dental care, aiming to enhance access, reduce inequalities, and promote collaboration among healthcare providers.
