This article highlights the critical role of digital technologies, particularly photogrammetry, in full-arch dental implant practices. By replacing traditional analog methods, digital tools enhance the precision of implant placement and prosthetic design, leading to better functional and esthetic outcomes. The seamless integration of photogrammetry with a computer-aided design /computer-aided manufacturing system not only streamlines the workflow but also improves patient satisfaction by reducing treatment times and increasing comfort.

This article aims to reconceptualize the replication crisis as not merely a problem of flawed methods, lack of scientific rigor, or questionable researcher conduct, but as a fundamentally epistemological and philosophical issue. While improved methodologies and scientific practices are necessary, they must be considered through the lens of the underlying epistemologies. Toward this end, a new paradigm for psychological research and practice, grounded in second-order cybernetics and transactional causality, is proposed as instrumental.
