Accurate working impression is an essential requirement for the fabrication of implant prosthesis, and digital impressions have recently become more popular. In this case report, a completely digital workflow is introduced for the fabrication of three single-unit screw-retained implant crowns on the posterior maxilla by a dental student, under supervision. This approach involved the use of an intraoral scanner to capture a digital impression of the three implants and their surrounding mucosa, the opposing arch, and occlusion.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common, complex and multifactorial disease that may require screening across multiple routes of referral to enable early detection and subsequent future implementation of tailored interventions. Blood- and eye-based biomarkers show promise as low-cost, scalable and patient-friendly tools for early AD detection given their ability to provide information on AD pathophysiological changes and manifestations in the retina, respectively. Eye clinics provide an intriguing real-world proof-of-concept setting to evaluate the performance of these potential AD screening tools given the intricate connections between the eye and brain, presumed enrichment for AD pathology in the aging population with eye disorders, and the potential for an accelerated diagnostic pathway for under-recognized patient groups.
