Statement Of Problem: Information regarding the effect of the height and position of a coded healing abutment (CHA) on the trueness of intraoral digital scans is lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of the height and position of a scannable CHA on the trueness (distance and angular deviations) of intraoral digital scans.
Material And Methods: Scannable CHAs (BellaTek Encode Impression system; Zimmer Biomet Dental) were used in 2 different height pairs (3 mm and 8 mm) on 2 implants at mandibular left second and first molar positions. Each pair was scanned 10 times by using 1 intraoral scanner (TRIOS; 3Shape) by 1 operator to generate a total of 20 intraoral scan files. Master standard tessellation language (STL) files were created for both 3-mm and 8-mm CHA pairs by using a structured blue light scanner (COMET L3D 8M 150 Precision Structured Blue Light Scanner; ZEISS). These master STL files were imported into a software program (PolyWorks Inspector) and were used as the reference for the inspection. Scans obtained by using the intraoral scanner were aligned to the reference scan by using a best-fit alignment to measure the distance and angular deviations. Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA was used to analyze the data, and the Tukey-Kramer test was used to determine significant differences among groups (α=.05).
Results: The CHA position had a significant effect on distance deviation (P<.001). However, no significant effect of CHA height on distance deviation was found. The interaction between CHA height and position had a significant effect on the angular deviation (P=.041). The 3-mm posterior CHA (P=.026) and 8-mm anterior CHA (P=.039) had significantly lower angular deviations than the 8-mm posterior CHA.
Conclusions: The distance deviation of CHA was significantly influenced by position. CHAs in the anterior had lower distance deviations for both 3 mm and 8 mm. The effect of CHA height on distance deviation was found to be small and was affected by the location of the CHA. Height affected angular deviation depending on the position of the CHA. Both 3-mm posterior and 8-mm anterior CHAs showed lower angular deviations than the 8-mm posterior CHA.

: The aim of this study is to identify the most accurate and consistent landmarks for determining the precise location of the mandibular foramen (MF) and the mandibular ramus, suggesting appropriate adjustments to anesthesia techniques based on these variations in order to improve the success rate of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block. : CT scans of the mandibles from 100 patients were analyzed to measure the distance between the MF and various landmarks, including the sigmoid notch, gonion, posterior and anterior margins of the ramus, temporal crest, and the mandibular ramus height from the condyle to the gonion. The width of the mandibular ramus was also assessed, with correlations made to age and gender.

Background/objectives: Static upright tasks, including standing unsupported (SU), eyes closed (SEC), feet together (SFT), tandem (TS), and single limb (SLS), are routinely examined in children and are included in many norm-referenced measures. Existing normative values for these standing tasks may not apply to contemporary children and have not been established across wide age ranges. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate developmental trajectories of and relationships between four static standing positions (SPs [SU, SFT, TS, SLS]) in children aged 2 through 13 years who are developing typically.

Obstacle avoidance during locomotion is a crucial motor skill, especially in environments with uneven terrain. However, the combined effects of obstacle dimensions and aging on this ability remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether the action of stepping over an obstacle changes proportionally with obstacle size and how these movements evolve with age.
