In the digital workflow of complete denture fabrication, one solution for producing computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing dentures has been to mill the denture teeth and base separately and then bond them together. The correct bonding of the denture teeth and base is important to reproduce the designed occlusion in the definitive prosthesis. A novel technique is described to assist in the accurate positioning of denture teeth on the denture base by constructing auxiliary positioning slots on the denture base and auxiliary positioning posts on the denture teeth. The technique can assist in accurately assembling CAD-CAM milled complete dentures and may shorten chairside time by reducing clinical occlusal adjustment.

Dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacement, offering a functional and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional dentures and bridges. While conventional implants, typically titanium screws placed into the jawbone, have become the gold standard, many studies explore non-conventional implant designs and materials to address specific challenges and patient needs. This series of literature reviews aimed to delve into non-conventional dental implants, examining their unique features and applications and the current state of evidence supporting their use.

Guided Bone Regeneration in the Posterior Mandible Using a Resorbable Metal Magnesium Membrane and Fixation Screws: A Case Report.

Case Rep Dent

Department of Prosthodontics, Geriatric Dentistry and Craniomandibular Disorder, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Aßmannshauser Straße 4-6 14197, Berlin, Germany.

Due to bone loss, implant placement in the posterior mandible is often impossible without prior augentative procedures. The reconstruction of bone defects with horizontal and vertical components using particulated bone grafts requires the placement of a mechanically stable structure for stabilization of the grafting material. Although titanium-reinforced membranes and titanium meshes have been shown to be effective in this indication, the necessity of their removal, often in a separate surgical procedure, is seen as a disadvantage.

Statement Of Problem: Three-dimensional (3D) printing and milling technologies have been increasingly used in prosthodontic practice for fabricating digital prostheses. Nevertheless, evidence relating to the wear resistance of denture teeth fabricated using these methods is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the wear resistance exhibited by denture teeth fabricated using 3D printing and milling technologies with prefabricated denture teeth.

Objectives: Clinical data on the performance of double-crown-retained removable dental prostheses (dcRDPs), especially beyond university studies, are rare. The objective of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the survival and complication-freeness probabilities of dcRDPs and to identify risk factors for failure and complications in a dental practice setting.

Materials And Methods: Anonymized practice data of 174 patients (56.

The Aim Of The Study: Was to determine the possibility of calculating the parameters of the occlusal surface of fixed dentures.

Materials And Methods: An analysis of dependence between the area of the occlusal surface and the area of the support structures (tooth root/implant), between the severity of the occlusal relief (tubercles of teeth) on the length of the root/implant was carried out.

Results: The nearness of the Kurlandsky periodontal coefficients and Oksman masticatory coefficients with the calculated coefficients obtained on the basis of 3D analysis of the lateral teeth anatomy has been established.
