Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurologic disorder. Compromised voluntary and involuntary muscle control of the orofacial-pharyngeal muscles of patients with PD may lead to difficulty in mastication, dysphagia, and tremor of the mouth and chin. All of these problems represent major challenges for the clinician with respect to the oral rehabilitation. This clinical report describes the use of the All-on-4 concept implantation for mandibular rehabilitation with a fixed detachable dental prosthesis in an edentulous patient with PD. The treatment steps, outcome, and limitations are discussed.

Background: The selection guideline for the implant-supported bar connectors (ISBC) of hybrid denture is lacking. This study investigated the maximum von Mises stress (vMS), stress distribution, and displacement of various geometric ISBC in mandibular hybrid dentures, as well as the maximum principal stress (σmax) in the acrylic resin part, through finite element analysis.
Methods: Four different geometric cross-sectional patterns for mandibular ISBC-L, Y, I, and Square-of equal volume, based on the "All-on-4" concept, were created.

Background: Determining the distal cantilever length in All-on-Four (All-on-4) implant-supported prostheses is a major factor in the long-term success of these prostheses. The difference in mechanical properties of materials used in the fabrication of these prostheses, such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK), may have an impact on the determination of the cantilever length that best distributes stress.
Aim: To study the distribution of stress in All-on-4 mandibular prostheses in the bone, implants, and framework according to difference cantilever length in PEEK prosthetic framework using three-dimensional finite element analysis.

Background: Numerous intraoral scanners (IOS) devices are currently used for intraoral impressions in prosthodontics. It is crucial to assess the accuracy and precision of these devices for clinical use.
Aim: This in vitro study aimed to assess and compare the accuracy and precision of six IOS in the all-on-4 treatment concept.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the comparative analysis of stresses on and around implants and surrounding cortical bone using three different prosthetic materials in hybrid prosthesis using the all-on-4 technique and all-on-6 technique in the maxilla using finite element analysis (FEA).
Materials And Methods: An in vitro FEA study was conducted where a three-dimensional (3D) model of an edentulous maxilla and four different models of the mandible were built using ANSYS software version 18 (Ansys, Inc., Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, United States).

Background/purpose: The All-on-4® treatment concept is a dental procedure that utilizes only four dental implants to support a fixed prosthesis, providing full-arch rehabilitation with affordable cost and speedy treatment courses. Although the placement of all-on-4® implants has been researched in the past, little attention was paid to the structural design of the prosthetic framework.
Materials And Methods: This research proposed a new approach to optimize the structure of denture framework called BESO-Net, which is a bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) based convolutional neural network (CNN).
