Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of tooth positions in printed complete dentures with different designs and teeth positioning techniques.

Materials And Methods: Five different designs of complete dentures and teeth positioning techniques were evaluated in this in vitro study. In Group I, the denture bases and teeth were designed as a single piece. In groups II and III, the denture bases were designed separately, and the denture teeth were designed as separate teeth. In groups IV and V, the denture bases were designed separately, and the denture teeth were designed as a single piece. Teeth positioning keys were designed for groups III and V. The dentures of all groups were scanned, and the data were imported to the surface matching software to evaluate the accuracy of the teeth positions. Statistical analysis was done using One -way ANOVA of Variance. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05.

Results: The results showed that the highest deviations of the positions of the canines (0.0781 ± 0.0154 mm) and the first molars (0.0611 ± 0.0055 mm) were found in Group II. On the other hand, Group I showed the least deviations of the positions of the canines (0.0287 ± 0.0054 mm) and molars (0.0354 ± 0.005 mm).

Conclusions: The most accurate tooth positions are obtained in monolithic printed complete dentures. Fewer deviations in tooth positions occur when denture teeth are designed as a single piece.

Background: Gingival recession defects (GRDs) pose functional and esthetic concerns and may be associated with unfavorable tooth positions. Surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment (SFOT) with clear aligners can be a valuable option for adults with severe malocclusion and GRDs.

Methods: A 28-year-old male presented with severe dental crowding, Class III dental malocclusion, localized tooth crossbites, and tapered maxillary arch.

Aim: The purpose of the study is to evaluate how well the Endovac system and conventional needle irrigation work to remove smear layers (SR) from primary teeth root canals.

Materials And Methods: Fifty extracted human primary teeth were divided into two equal sections vertically, then positioned within an acrylic model that was secured with screws. Group A (Endovac), = 25, and group B (traditional needle), = 25.

Objectives: To investigate the correlation between gingival thickness (GT) and buccal bone thickness (BBT), as well as the effects of GT, BBT, bone crest level (BC), and tooth position on the buccal gingival margin location of maxillary teeth in the esthetic zone.

Materials And Methods: Periodontally healthy subjects with prior cone beam computed tomography and intraoral scans for dental implant planning were included. The hard and soft tissue measurements were retrospectively analyzed digitally.

Purpose: We aimed to analyze the influence of different designs (inlay, onlay, and crown) on stress distribution and crack propagation in an endodontically treated cracked premolar.

Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to model an endodontically treated cracked premolar with three different restorations (inlay, onlay, and crown). Six types of loadings (vertical loading of 600 N; hot thermal-600 N vertical coupling loading; cold thermal-600 N vertical coupling loading; oblique loading of 200 N; hot thermal-200 N oblique coupling loading; cold thermal-200 N oblique coupling loading) were applied to simulate the hot and cold food/beverages intake.

The reverse scan technique offers several advantages, such as improvements of accuracy and visibility of critical anatomical structures, minimizing chair time, and providing better patient comfort. This was a case report successfully employing the reverse scan technique. A 72-year-old male patient desired to restore his teeth in both jaws, as he experienced difficulty eating and had never worn dentures.
