Extreme residual ridge resorption is a challenging clinical situation for the fabrication of complete dental prostheses. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) complete dentures have been shown to have superior fit and material strength to conventionally fabricated dentures, but no clinical protocols have been described for cases of extreme residual ridge resorption. This report describes a workflow combining conventional and novel techniques for CAD/CAM complete dentures fabrication for atrophic alveolar ridges and demonstrates that a CAD/CAM workflow is an effective tool for solving this complex situation.

Comparative accuracy assessment of analog and virtual wax-up in prosthetic-driven planning and guided implant surgery: A retrospective cohort study.
J Prosthodont Res
January 2025
Department of Stomatology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Purpose: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the accuracy of analog versus virtual wax-ups in prosthetic-driven planning and guided surgery.
Methods: There were 73 patients with a single missing posterior tooth who underwent either an analog or virtual wax-up design following a prosthetic-driven concept. Intraoral scans of the final restoration were performed 1 year after completion of the restoration.
Influence of wall thickness on the fracture resistance of hollow zirconia artificial teeth fabricated by 3D zirconia printing.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how wall thickness impacts the fracture load of 3D printed hollow zirconia teeth.
- Different wall thicknesses (0.30, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 mm) were tested, with results showing that thicker walls (≥0.75 mm) had a greater fracture resistance.
- Filling hollow teeth with resin significantly improved their strength, especially in thinner designs, highlighting the importance of wall thickness and material in dental applications.
Comparison between relining of ill-fitted maxillary complete denture versus CAD/CAM milling of new one regarding patient satisfaction, denture retention and adaptation.
BMC Oral Health
January 2025
Faculty of Dentistry, British University in Egypt (BUE), Shorouk, Egypt.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare different treatment modalities to correct ill-fitted maxillary complete denture either by the conventional relining method or by scanning the relining impression and digitally construct a new denture regarding patient satisfaction, denture retention, and adaptation.
Materials And Methods: Twelve edentulous patients suffering from loose maxillary complete dentures were selected, dentures' borders and fitting surfaces were prepared, and relining impressions were taken, the impressions were scanned and the STL files were used for CAD/CAM milling ( computer aided designing/ computer aided manufacturing) of new maxillary dentures (Group A), then the relining impression went through the conventional laboratory steps to fabricate (Group B) maxillary dentures. Both groups were evaluated regarding patient satisfaction by a specially designed questionnaire, retention values were measured by a digital force gauge at denture insertion appointment and two weeks later, geomagic software was used to evaluate dentures adaptation to oral tissues.
Bond strength comparison of chemically activated hard reline materials on CAD-CAM milled and conventional heat-polymerized PMMA denture bases.

Statement Of Problem: Comprehensive data are needed on the performance of chemically activated, chairside hard reline materials when used with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture bases and conventionally processed bases. This lack of data affects decisions regarding the chairside reline material to be used for improving the fit and retention of relined complete dentures.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of 3 chemically activated, chairside hard reline materials on CAD-CAM milled and conventional heat-polymerized PMMA denture bases.
Development and Validation of a Neurosurgical Phantom for Simulating External Ventricular Drain Placement.
J Med Syst
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
This study aimed to develop and validate a cost-effective, customizable patient-specific phantom for simulating external ventricular drain placement, combining image segmentation, 3-D printing and molding techniques. Two variations of the phantom were created based on patient MRI data, integrating a realistic skin layer with anatomical landmarks, a 3-D printed skull, an agarose polysaccharide gel brain, and a ventricular cavity. To validate the phantom, 15 neurosurgeons, residents, and physician assistants performed 30 EVD placements.
