Introduction: This study presents a method to verify the position of dental implants after insertion without the repeated x-ray exposure.
Material And Methods: An implant was inserted into the natural gap between the canines and premolars of 8 domestic pigs and 1 human patient. A scanbody was then connected to the implants and a digital intraoral impression of the jaw segment was acquired using a handheld scanner. In addition, the implant position was radiologically detected by cone beam computed tomography. The position of the implant based on both techniques was compared by digital matching.
Results: The position of the dental implants determined by the scanner accurately represents the position in the radiograph in the pigs and also in the human patient.
Conclusion: Evaluating the position of implants using intraoral scans is a straightforward, accurate, and radiation-free method of 3-dimensional implant position determination.

Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, the impact of prepectoral versus subpectoral implant reconstruction on nipple position, clinical outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after NSM remains unknown.
Objective: We hypothesized that prepectoral reconstruction would lead to a more anatomic nipple position and improved clinical outcomes and PROs as compared to subpectoral reconstruction following NSM.
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess impingement-free internal rotation (IR) in a virtual reverse shoulder arthroplasty simulation using a Statistical Shape Model based on scapula size.
Methods: A database of over 10,000 scapulae utilized for preoperative planning for shoulder arthroplasty was analyzed with a Statistical Shape Model to obtain 5 scapula sizes including the mean and 2 standard deviations. For each scapula model, one glenosphere size (33-42 mm) was selected as the best fit based on consensus among 3 shoulder surgeons.

Purpose: Precise implant placement is essential for optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. Digital technologies, such as computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS), have improved implant outcomes. However, conventional methods such as static and dynamic CAIS (dCAIS) require complex equipment.

Background: Mandibular angle osteotomy (MAO) is a popular procedure to improve facial aesthetics, however, over-resection of the mandibular angle can lead to both functional and aesthetic challenges. Precision is essential in restoring these over-resected mandibles to achieve balanced outcomes. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants offer biocompatibility, durability, and customization potential, making them valuable for achieving precise and predictable results.
