This clinical report introduces an approach for detecting the supragingival finish line by penetrating the teeth and gingival tissue using optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology. This approach was used in 3 patients who underwent tooth preparation with a subgingival finish line. Consequently, the subgingival finish line, typically challenging to discern clearly in intraoral scans, was identifiable in the OCT image.

Objectives: This study evaluated the accuracy of the Medit i700 intraoral scanner (IOS) in capturing horizontal tooth preparations at different depths below the gingival margin and assessed its ability to detect surfaces beyond the finish line.
Methods: Using CAD software, two abutments of a standard maxillary first molar were designed with horizontal preparation and 0.8 mm chamfer at 1 mm and 2 mm depths below the gingival margin.

Introduction: The intracanal antibacterial effectiveness of a bioceramic medication was compared with calcium hydroxide pastes in different vehicles.
Methods: Extracted mandibular incisors with a single long oval canal were selected and distributed into 5 groups based on anatomically paired microcomputed tomographic analyses. The root canals were prepared up to an instrument size 35/04 and contaminated for 30 days with a mixed bacterial culture from subgingival biofilm added with Enterococcus faecalis.

Statement Of Problem: Digital scans for single crowns have been reported to achieve accuracy similar to that of traditional impressions in certain patients, but criteria for acquiring high-quality scans are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the optimal gingival displacement widths, finish line depths, and preparation designs for single crowns when using intraoral scanners (IOSs) to achieve clinically acceptable and high-quality recordings.
Material And Methods: Three different preparation designs of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) abutments (round shoulder, shoulder, and sloped shoulder) were fitted with titanium sleeves of 4 different thicknesses (0.

Article Synopsis
- * A biologically oriented vertical preparation technique moves the gingival margin and modifies provisional restorations to improve tissue healing and establish long-term stability.
- * Effective communication about the design of temporary restorations is crucial to prevent complications in the final restoration process, which can increase time and costs in clinical and laboratory settings.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the precision of single-tooth zirconia crowns created with advanced digital technology in a clinical setting involving 30 patients who needed crowns for their posterior teeth.
- The crowns were crafted using a specific method, including deep chamfer preparations and the use of a Trios scanner for digital impressions sent to a lab.
- Results showed that while marginal gaps were slightly larger for molars compared to premolars, overall, the crowns had good fit and most occlusal and proximal contacts were acceptable, indicating high accuracy in crown fabrication.
