Objective: To describe a technique for fabricating an additively manufactured maxillary occlusal device using a complete digital workflow.
Clinical Considerations: The maxillary occlusal device design may include an anterior platform to guide the positioning of the mandible in a reproducible position for facilitating the delivery procedure.
Conclusions: The described technique provides a more efficient and less time-consuming method for designing and manufacturing a printed occlusal device, when compared with conventional fabrication techniques.
Clinical Significance: The additively manufactured occlusal device designed with an anterior platform guides the positioning of the mandible in a reproducible position, facilitates the delivery procedures, and produces a more efficient and less time-consuming method when compared with conventional methods.

Statement Of Problem: Different factors affect 3-dimensionally (3D) printed resin products. However, evidence on the effect of the print orientation on resin dental devices is lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the impact of print orientation on the properties and accuracy of 3D printed implant surgical guides, occlusal devices, clear orthodontic retainers, and aligners.

Objective: This study compared the fracture load, stress distribution, and survival probability under cyclic loading of extensively restored teeth treated with multisonic irrigation with those treated with conventional instrumentation, with or without a post.
Methods: Mesial-occlusal-distal cavities were prepared in 30 human mandibular premolars. The teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 based on the endodontic and restorative procedures: (1) Root canal treatment (RCT) followed by resin composite restoration (control group), (2) RCT followed by a glass fiber post restoration (conventional group), and (3) minimal instrumentation plus multisonic irrigation followed by resin composite restoration (GW group).

Aim: Aberrative occlusal contacts were associated with Temporomandibular disorder (TMD), but whether stabilization splints with therapeutic exercises alleviate the symptoms is unclear. Hence, this study aims to compare the short-term efficacy of occlusal splint therapy and the synergistic effect of therapeutic exercise with occlusal splint therapy for 3 weeks in individuals with TMD.
Settings And Design: in-vivo observational pilot study.

Article Synopsis
- The management of molar-incisor hypomineralization is complex due to varying clinical appearances and treatment needs.
- The report details a treatment case involving a carious permanent molar using glass ionomer cement (GIC) and an occlusal replica technique.
- After the procedure, the patient showed no symptoms, maintained good oral hygiene, and the restorative material remained intact after 12 months.

The occurrence of cracked tooth is closely related to the abnormal occlusal force. The cracks existing on hard tissue of tooth cannot be self-limiting. As long as the external force exists, the cracks would continue to expand, involving the pulp, periapical, and periodontal tissues, ultimately leading to splitting and tooth loss.
