The reverse impression method involves the extraoral digitalization of the interim implant-supported prostheses and intraoral digitalization of antagonist arch and maxillomandibular relationship. This technique allows the fabrication of implant-supported prostheses by using a complete-digital workflow. The scan analogs make the reverse impression method feasible. However, this method may not be recommended if the interim polymethyl methacrylate prosthesis does not have passive fit. The present manuscript describes an altered reverse impression technique that involves the extraoral digitalization of a conventional verification jig, which has attached scan analogs. With this technique modification, the implant positions captured using the verification jig are used to obtain the virtual definitive implant cast and fabricate the definitive implant-supported prosthesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for persistent psychiatric disorders, though post-ECT fever is rare and not widely reported.
  • A case study of a 27-year-old woman with bipolar disorder showed she experienced multiple fever episodes after ECT, with diagnostic tests indicating inflammation but no signs of infection or serious syndromes.
  • The findings suggest that the fever may be a benign inflammatory response to ECT, allowing for the continued use of ECT to achieve therapeutic benefits.

Objective: Physical and digital casts are required for fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) fabrication. However, the effect of abutment tooth geometry on the accuracy of FDP casts obtained by digital and analog workflows remains unclear. This study evaluated the accuracy of obtaining dental casts for veneer and full crowns with digital and analog workflows.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers collected and analyzed tear samples from 30 KC patients and 23 controls, measuring levels of various cytokines and gene expression using techniques like flow cytometry and PCR.
  • * While higher levels of IL-5 and IL-6 were found in KC patients' conjunctival epithelium, there were no significant differences in cytokine concentrations in tear films between the two groups, though some gene expressions were elevated in the KC group.

The Effect of Image Count on Accuracy in Digital Measurements in Dentistry.

Diagnostics (Basel)

September 2024

Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Necmettin Erbakan University, 42090 Konya, Türkiye.

This study investigated how the number of images collected for digital measurements in dentistry affects accuracy compared with traditional methods. A Frasaco maxillary model was scanned using a SHINING 3D AutoScan-DS-MIX dental 3D scanner to create an STL file. The maxilla was molded 10 times using polyvinyl siloxane (Zhermack Elite HD+) to produce plaster models, which were scanned with the same reference scanner to generate 10 STL files.
