This paper relates, through a clinical case, the different steps of the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a palate-pharyngeal cleft, sequelae to surgery, by performing a Suersen’s Velar obturator since the soft Palate is divided but toned. A functional reeducation in conjunction with a prosthodontic care improves the quality of life’s patients and help for their resocialization. This therapeutic is non-invasive, quick, efficient and evolutive method.

Complete arch oral implant treatment using photogrammetry was studied in 77 patients with 111 arches focusing on digitization of clinical records and optimization of the provisional. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that patient satisfaction with the provisional prosthesis during the first 4 months of care determined workflow efficiency and success. Digitization of 8 clinical records was done including centric relation, vertical dimension, esthetics, occlusion, inter-arch space, abutment selection, abutment capture, and soft tissue scan.

Objectives: This double-blind randomised crossover trial aimed to compare the aesthetic outcomes of CAD-CAM manufactured provisional restorations created using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanners (IOS) acquisition methods.
Methods: Twelve participants (mean-age: 38 ± 5 years) requiring full mouth rehabilitation were included in this crossover trial. Two sets of identical CAD-CAM provisional restorations, differing only in the method of data acquisition (A: CBCT, B: IOS), were fabricated.

Aim: This study aims to assess Croatian dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and use of artificial intelligence (AI) and modern technology, while also identifying perceived barriers to AI and modern technology adoption and evaluating the need for further education and training.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in February 2024 among general dentists in Croatia using a self-structured questionnaire. A total of 200 respondents filled out the questionnaire.

Evidence has shown the clear positive effects of nature-based products on biofilm control and improved gingival health. However, most studies have used in vitro models, have tested single natural components, or have not evaluated proteomic changes after treatment. This double-blind, parallel, randomized, and controlled clinical trial evaluated the benefits of a nature-based gel in controlling gingival inflammation and its effects on the proteomic gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) profile.

Objectives To assess the influence of cigarette smoke (CS) on the color and surface roughness of 3D printed, milled, and traditionally fabricated provisional crown and bridge (PC&B) materials. Materials and methods 112 disc-shaped samples were made employing four techniques and materials (28 per group) to fabricate PC&B prostheses. Specimens were fabricated using standard protocols, such as 3D printing, milling, conventional bis-acrylic resin, and traditional autopolymerizing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin.
