This report describes the complete mouth rehabilitation of worn dentition by using a digital workflow on a non-hinge simulated patient. A dentiform was used to simulate a patient with loss of occlusal vertical dimension. Physical diagnostic waxing along with a digital workflow was then used to re-establish the occlusal vertical dimension at the interim and definitive restoration stages.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in medical question answering, with Med-PaLM being the first to exceed a 'passing' score in United States Medical Licensing Examination style questions. However, challenges remain in long-form medical question answering and handling real-world workflows. Here, we present Med-PaLM 2, which bridges these gaps with a combination of base LLM improvements, medical domain fine-tuning and new strategies for improving reasoning and grounding through ensemble refinement and chain of retrieval.

This article highlights the critical role of digital technologies, particularly photogrammetry, in full-arch dental implant practices. By replacing traditional analog methods, digital tools enhance the precision of implant placement and prosthetic design, leading to better functional and esthetic outcomes. The seamless integration of photogrammetry with a computer-aided design /computer-aided manufacturing system not only streamlines the workflow but also improves patient satisfaction by reducing treatment times and increasing comfort.
