Article Synopsis
  • The review summarizes the clinical and anatomical aspects of myopia, highlighting the different stages of myopic maculopathy (MMP) and their association with retinal changes.
  • Recent findings show that MMP stage-4 is linked to defects in Bruch's membrane and previous macular neovascularization, while stage-3 demonstrates differences based on the presence of these defects.
  • Additionally, higher axial lengths in myopic eyes correlate with increased risks for vision loss and certain eye conditions, including open-angle glaucoma, emphasizing the complexity and implications of myopia in aging populations.

Statement Of Problem: The use of intraoral optical scanners has been introduced for direct digital data acquisition in maxillofacial prosthetics, but their clinical accuracy has not been evaluated sufficiently.

Purpose: The purpose of this observational study was to evaluate the use of different intraoral scanners for extraoral maxillofacial digitization of an ear and to assess visually the clinical outcome of the generated 3-dimensional ear casts.

Material And Methods: A selected intact ear was scanned by using 3 different intraoral optical scanners: CEREC Primescan (Dentsply Sirona), Medit i700 (Medit Corp) and Panda P2 (Pengtum Technologies).
