This study investigated the effects of disinfection of combined agar/alginate impressions on the dimensional accuracy of resultant stone casts. Impressions of a master cast designed to simulate an abutment tooth were prepared by combining each of two brands of cartridge-form agar impression materials with an alginate impression material. The impressions were immersed in 1% sodium hypochlorite for 10 minutes or 2% glutaraldehyde for 30 minutes. The remaining impressions were sprayed with these two disinfectants and then stored in sealed bags for 10, 30, 60, and 120 minutes. Stone casts obtained from the non-disinfected impressions were also prepared as control. Changes in diameter of the stone casts were then measured. Results indicated that storage for 10 minutes after spraying with 1% sodium hypochlorite was an appropriate disinfection method for combined agar/alginate impressions, as well as immersion in 1% sodium hypochlorite for 10 minutes.

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) may be used to learn and predict the maxillomandibular relationship, particularly when the number of occluding teeth pairs is insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of training a new two-stage coarse-to-fine teeth alignment pipeline AI system in predicting maxillomandibular relationships based on the occlusal morphology of antagonistic teeth.
Methods: Maxillary and mandibular stone casts were collected and scanned at the maximal intercuspal position (MIP).

Introduction: With the current surge into digital dentistry, several options are available for clinicians, for example, when providing indirect restorations. There is a need for evidence on the quality of fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated using either digital or conventional impressions. This study aimed to evaluate the marginal fit of single-crown and three-unit FDP frameworks fabricated from digital and conventional impressions.

Objective: This study aimed to compare a direct conventional 3D digital technique vis a vis a hybrid method in measuring palatal volume.
Materials And Methods: Thirty maxillary casts were obtained from the records of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment and pre-conceived boundaries of the palatal vault were marked. Sample was categorised into Group I (Volume estimation using CBCT scan) and Group II (Volume estimation using hybrid method).

Background/objectives: This study aimed to compare the cost and time implications for implant-supported prosthesis comparing three digital impression techniques: digitization with an intraoral scanner, digitization of the conventional impression (without dental casts) and digitization of the stone models.
Methods: To assess the time and cost of digital impression techniques on implants, time records on intraoral scans were consulted and three models were created with one, two and six implants to assess extraoral procedures time. Costs were evaluated based on material consumption, time expenditure and operator-related expenses.

Solid-state electrolytes are receiving increasing attention in lithium metal batteries due to the advantage of high energy density. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) electrolyte possesses good compatibility with lithium salts. However, PEO suffers from a low lithium-ion transference number and poor high-voltage resistance, which significantly hinder its application in lithium metal batteries.
