Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess if there was a difference in the likelihood of achieving passive fit when an implant-supported full-arch prosthesis framework is fabricated with or without the aid of a verification jig.
Materials And Methods: This investigation was approved by the University of Rochester Research Subject Review Board (protocol #RSRB00038482). Thirty edentulous patients, 49 to 73 years old (mean 61 years old), rehabilitated with a nonsegmented fixed implant-supported complete denture were included in the study. During the restorative process, final impressions were made using the pickup impression technique and elastomeric impression materials. For 16 patients, a verification jig was made (group J), while for the remaining 14 patients, a verification jig was not used (group NJ) and the framework was fabricated directly on the master cast. During the framework try-in appointment, the fit was assessed by clinical (Sheffield test) and radiographic inspection and recorded as passive or nonpassive.
Results: When a verification jig was used (group J, n = 16), all frameworks exhibited clinically passive fit, while when a verification jig was not used (group NJ, n = 14), only two frameworks fit. This difference was statistically significant (p < .001).
Conclusions: Within the limitations of this retrospective study, the fabrication of a verification jig ensured clinically passive fit of metal frameworks in nonsegmented fixed implant-supported complete denture.

Article Synopsis
- Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for patients with severe knee osteoarthritis, especially when non-surgical treatments fail, leading to significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life.
- The procedure can use various components (cemented, cementless, or a hybrid) and is generally performed with a focus on mechanical alignment, although newer alignment strategies like gap and kinematic balancing are showing promising results in early studies.
- The preferred surgical technique for cementless TKA involves a specific patient positioning and incision approach, starting with the application of a thigh tourniquet and a parapatellar incision, ensuring proper alignment and access during the surgery.*
A data-driven approach for simplifying the estimation of time for contaminant plumes to reach their maximum extent.

Globally there exist a very large number of contaminated or possibly contaminated sites where a basic preliminary assessment has not been completed. This is largely, among others, due to limited simple methods/models available for estimating key site quantities such as the maximum plume length, further denoted as L and the corresponding time T=T, at which the plume reaches its maximum extent L=L. An approach to easily obtain an estimate of T in particular is presented in this work.

The reverse impression method involves the extraoral digitalization of the interim implant-supported prostheses and intraoral digitalization of antagonist arch and maxillomandibular relationship. This technique allows the fabrication of implant-supported prostheses by using a complete-digital workflow. The scan analogs make the reverse impression method feasible.

Introduction The passive fit of a full arch implant-supported prosthesis is one of the elements influencing implant success. Achieving the passive fit of a prosthesis requires verification of the master cast before the fabrication of the framework. A verification jig is a common way to verify the implant master cast and ensure the accuracy of the implant impression and produced cast.

Purpose: To compare the biomechanical effects of femoral cortical surface fixation and intra-tunnel fixation in modified Lemaire tenodesis on the restoration of native kinematics in anterolateral structure-deficient knees.
Methods: Eight fresh-frozen cadaveric knees were mounted in a knee-customized jig to evaluate anterior translation in anterior load and internal rotation degree in internal rotation torque at 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90°, as well as anterolateral translation (ALT) in a simulated pivot-shift test at 0°, 15°, 30°, and 45°. Kinematic tests were performed in the following states: intact; anterolateral knee lesion (AL-Les); modified Lemaire lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) with the femoral iliotibial band (ITB) strip fixed on the cortical surface (cortical fixation), deep to the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) (deep LET-C); and LET with the femoral ITB strip fixed into a tunnel (intra-tunnel fixation), deep to the LCL (deep LET-IT) or superficial to the LCL (superficial LET-IT).
