Objectives: To demonstrate a novel digital technique that enables real-time visualisation of occlusal transfer and adjustment of condyle position, to (1) improve the repeatability of occlusal transfer and the accuracy of condyle position adjustment and (2) be clinically effective in helping to restore the disc-condyle relationship.
Materials And Methods: Three participants were included in the study and underwent facebow transfers using two different methods. The digital method used patient-related three-dimensional imaging data matched with digital dental casts for occlusal transfer.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to demonstrate a novel jaw position adjustment technique derived from digital twins and evaluate the application effect of digital technology-assisted optimization in the process of adjusting jaw position on patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Methods: A total of 74 patients with TMD who attended the Department of Temporomandibular Joint, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Si-chuan University, between June 2022 and May 2023 were selected. The patient's initial computed tomography (CT) and bilateral temporomandibular joint data obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were collected.

A variety of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs offer increased congruency bearing options, primarily to compensate for a loss of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) function. However, their efficacy in providing sufficient stability under different circumstances requires further investigation. The preclinical testing of prosthesis components on joint motion simulators is useful for quantifying how design changes affect joint stability.

Multiple mandibular fractures with condylar involvement are challenging to treat. This article presents a series of steps to simplify the treatment and improve the outcomes in open reduction and internal fixation of multiple mandibular fractures with condylar involvement. Four new elements are identified: three-dimensional printing, model surgery, Kirschner wires to manipulate the segments in condylar fractures, and a top-to-bottom sequence.
