Purpose To investigate the accuracy of implant-supported connecting crowns fabricated with digital definitive casts and conventional definitive casts.Methods Using a master model with two implant bodies inserted into the right mandibular molar area, 10 digital definitive casts were fabricated. Additionally, 10 conventional definitive casts were fabricated. The distance and angle between the two abutments of each definitive cast were compared. To compare the amount of lift of the incisal pin, each of the 10 superstructures was fabricated via computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing and then returned to the master model.Results No significant difference was observed for either the angle or the distance between the two abutments. The amount of lift of the incisal pin when the superstructure obtained via the optical method was returned to the master model was significantly larger than that when the superstructure obtained via the conventional method was returned to the definitive cast and the master model. No significant difference was observed after occlusal adjustment of the superstructures obtained using the conventional method.Conclusions The precision of definitive casts obtained via the optical method was virtually equal to that of definitive casts obtained via the conventional method. The accuracy of implant-supported connecting crowns fabricated using the optical method was significantly lower than that of implant-supported connecting crowns fabricated using the conventional method. This is attributed to the alignment of the maxillary and mandibular digital definitive casts.

Evaluating One-Week Post-Casting Alignment Checks and Surgical Intervention Rates in Pediatric Type IIA Supracondylar Humeral Fractures.
Iowa Orthop J

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.
Background: This study aims to determine the rate of surgical intervention in children with type IIA supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHF) following routine post-casting radiographic assessment. We hypothesized that no cases would convert to operative management following one-week post-casting alignment assessments.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study focused on pediatric patients diagnosed with type IIA SCHF from 2019 to 2022.
Supportive bandage, removable splint, or walking casts for low-risk ankle fractures in children: a feasibility randomized controlled trial.

Musculoskeletal, Surgery, Inflammation and Recovery Theme, NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, Nottingham, UK.
Aims: It is unclear if a supportive bandage, removable splint, or walking cast offers the best outcome following low-risk ankle fractures in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial to compare these treatments.
Methods: Children aged five to 15 years with low-risk ankle fractures were recruited to this feasibility trial from 1 February 2020 to 30 March 2023.

Introduction: Arthrofibrosis of the knee is an adverse outcome after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Definitions and classifications vary widely based on extension and flexion losses, patellar mobility, and location. In general, it is understood as a restricted range of motion (ROM) due to scar tissue, and it is often defined as symptomatic limitation in knee ROM compared to the opposite knee.

Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Dr D Y Patil Dental College and Hospital, Dr D Y Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune, Maharashtra, India.
Aim: Early identification and management of developing malocclusion can reduce or eliminate the need for future complicated treatment procedures. The present study was undertaken to assess early orthodontic treatment needs in 6- and 9-year-old children using the index for preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment need (IPION) in Pune, India.
Materials And Methods: A total of 360 children reporting to the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry were evaluated clinically and on their respective dental casts according to the IPION requirement.
