Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is used for maxillofacial imaging. 3D virtual planning of orthognathic and facial orthomorphic surgery requires detailed visualisation of the interocclusal relationship. This study aimed to introduce and evaluate the use of a double CBCT scan procedure with a modified wax bite wafer to augment the 3D virtual skull model with a detailed dental surface. The impressions of the dental arches and the wax bite wafer were scanned for ten patient separately using a high resolution standardized CBCT scanning protocol. Surface-based rigid registration using ICP (iterative closest points) was used to fit the virtual models on the wax bite wafer. Automatic rigid point-based registration of the wax bite wafer on the patient scan was performed to implement the digital virtual dental arches into the patient's skull model. Probability error histograms showed errors of < or =0.22 mm (25% percentile), < or =0.44 mm (50% percentile) and < or =1.09 mm (90% percentile) for ICP surface matching. The mean registration error for automatic point-based rigid registration was 0.18+/-0.10 mm (range 0.13-0.26 mm). The results show the potential for a double CBCT scan procedure with a modified wax bite wafer to set-up a 3D virtual augmented model of the skull with detailed dental surface.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the condylar guidance values from two interocclusal recording materials—bite registration wax and bite registration paste—with those obtained from an orthopantomogram (OPG) in edentulous patients needing complete dentures.
- Using a Hanau H2 articulator, researchers documented horizontal condylar guidance after performing jaw relation recordings with both materials.
- Results showed that the bite registration paste (jet bite) provided condylar guidance values closer to those derived from the OPG, with mean differences of 10° for the paste and 20° for the wax in the subjects tested.

Although dental patterns are unique, the use of bitemark analysis in personal identification remains controversial. To accurately reproduce and compare three-dimensional models of bitemarks and dental arches, intraoral three-dimensional scans, commonly utilized in clinical dental practice for precise and stable digital impressions, are recommended. This study aims to compare two different techniques for bitemark analysis: a digital method based on the superimposition of digital scans of dental patterns and lesions, and a visual method based on the physical superimposition of impressions and resin casts produced by 3D printing.

Method And Materials: This case series was designed as a follow-up evaluation with consecutive patient recruitment. All patients bearing the indication for this kind of rehabilitation were treated by the same clinician using the same adhesive methodology.

It is important to choose the appropriate interocclusal registration material for precise articulation and successful dental prosthesis fabrication. 3 types of interocclusal registration materials: Bite registration wax, polyvinyl siloxane bite registration paste and Bisacryl-based bite registration paste were evaluated for dimensional stability and surface hardness at 4 different time intervals. One way ANOVA test, multiple Post Hoc Tukey HSD test and nonparametric test were performed.

Objectives: Reconstruction of a three-dimensional jaw position determined by a bite recording is an important aspect of prosthetic therapy. Different materials are used for this purpose. In the dental technical workflow, recordings are used to mount a lower jaw cast in a patient-like spatial position relative to the upper jaw cast.
