The restoration of multiple teeth with traumatic injury in the esthetic zone is complex. For the present patient, an intraoral scanner, a facial scanner, a jaw motion analyzer, and cone beam computed tomography were applied to collect patient data and establish a virtual dental patient. The virtual technology increased the accuracy of tooth- and implant-supported crowns in both appearance and occlusion.

Background: Resource-constrained rural areas face significant challenges in providing access to healthcare resources, especially for older adults, including those living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD). We seek to address these gaps by equipping six rural community sites in New Hampshire and Maine with tele-rehabilitative equipment. Libraries and community centers that serves youth and older adults, vital in rural communities, are identified as key partners to advance digital health literacy, equity, and telemedicine services for older adults including those living with ADRD, with the University of [blind for review] Center for Digital Health Innovation (CDHI).

Background: Most persons living with dementia (PLWD) experience sleep disturbances at some point during their disease. Music interventions are promising to address sleep disturbances because long-term memory for music remains relatively preserved in PLWD. The purpose of this study was to identify the prototype features of the mobile application, entitled, "Calming Music Personalized for Sleep Enhancement in PeRsons living with Dementia" (CoMPoSER) for use among PLWD and their caregivers by conducting the first round of qualitative interviews to co-design the content, features, and layout of the application prototype.
