Statement Of Problem: Scanning of completely edentulous arches remains a challenge because of the large surface to scan and the lack of anatomic indexes. Whether the presence of impression transfer copings with digital scanning provides enough markers for acceptable precision and clinical use has not been determined.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the accuracy of digital scanning for complete-arch implant-supported restorations.
Material And Methods: A systematic review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted to analyze articles published between 2008 and 2019. Among the 208 retrieved articles, 20 were selected for review.
Results: Five articles reported the use of digital scanning in clinical situations and satisfying short-term results. Fifteen in vitro studies were also included for complementary information, including measurement accuracy. Most of the intraoral scanners used in vitro provided acceptable accuracy below a threshold of 150 μm. When directly compared, the digital technique was at least equivalent to conventional impression techniques.
Conclusions: In vitro, intraoral scanners have shown acceptable accuracy. The main parameters identified for their influence on precision were interimplant distance, body scan design, scanning pattern, and operator experience. Clinical evidence is limited by the lack of a definitive method of assessing the fit of the framework.

Prognostic value of pseudotime from texture parameters of FDG PET/CT in locally advanced rectal cancer with neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
Sci Rep

Department of Nuclear Medicine, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, 81 Irwon-Ro, Gangnam-Gu, Seoul, 06351, Republic of Korea.
Texture analysis generates image parameters from F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT). Although some parameters correlate with tumor biology and clinical attributes, their types and implications can be complex. To overcome this limitation, pseudotime analysis was applied to texture parameters to estimate changes in individual sample characteristics, and the prognostic significance of the estimated pseudotime of primary tumors was evaluated.

Objective: To investigate differences in arterial involvement patterns on F-FDG PET-CT between predominant cranial and isolated extracranial phenotypes of giant cell arteritis (GCA).
Methods: A retrospective review of F-FDG PET-CT findings was conducted on 140 patients with confirmed GCA. The patients were divided into two groups: the cranial group, which presented craniofacial ischemic symptoms either at diagnosis or during follow-up, and the isolated extracranial group which never exhibited such manifestations.

Provisional Prosthetic Outcome when Using Photogrammetry for Complete Arch Oral Implants: A Report of 111 Patient Treatments.
Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am
December 2024
Private Practice, Brooklyn, NY, USA.
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.

Background: Facial prosthetics are an important means to rehabilitate patients with congenital or acquired facial defects. However, with a time-consuming manual workflow and workforce shortage, access to facial prosthetics is limited in Australia and worldwide, especially for rural and remote patients. Optical 3D scanning has been increasingly integrated in digitizing data.
