In hydrocolloid impressions, the visibility of the margins of cavity preparation is most important. Purely mechanical management of the gingival tissue by cotton threads does not always give satisfactory results, particularly in multiple preparations. Electrosurgery, subtly used, avoids blood and seepage from the sulcus and seems to better control the accessibility of the margins to the hydrocolloid material.

Dental reconstruction for patients diagnosed with severe mandibular bone atrophy using common dental implants is a challenging process. In such cases, surgeons may encounter challenges such as insufficient available bone, soft tissue, damage to the inferior alveolar nerve, and even the risk of bone fracture. In this study, a new design concept of mandibular patient-specific implants for severely atrophic ridges followed by finite element evaluation was presented to investigate the mechanical functionality of the concept.

Miniscrews are widely used in orthodontics as an anchorage device while aligning teeth. Shear stress in the miniscrew-bone interface is an important factor when the miniscrew makes contact with the bone. The objective of this study was to analyze the shear stress and force in the screw-bone interface for varying Cortical Bone Thickness (CBT) using Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

Introduction: Gingival displacement is essential for ideal margin exposure and improved direct or indirect restorative outcome. Recent literature found many dentists prefer using retraction cord. Some contraindications of other displacement methods make retraction cord displacement preferred.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different restorative materials affect stress distribution in inlays on a maxillary premolar using 3D finite element analysis under specific loading conditions.
- Four types of materials were tested: microhybrid composite, indirect resin composite, lithium disilicate glass ceramic, and type III gold alloy, with findings indicating similar biomechanical behaviors for the first three under axial loading, while showing differences in stress under proximal loading.
- Results suggest that materials with higher elastic modulus, like ceramics and gold alloys, are more effective for restoring maxillary premolars due to their superior performance under occlusal contact conditions.

To quantitatively evaluate the change of the long axis angle and the relative displacement of the crown feature points of the posterior teeth under normal bite force utilizing an intraoral scanner, and to provide clinical reference. From May to December 2019, fifteen graduate volunteers (5 males and 10 females, aged from 22 to 30, with an average age of 25.7 years) from Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were recruited to participate in the study.
