Statement Of Problem: The use of intraoral scanners (IOSs) correlates with clinical outcome and patient satisfaction. While the accuracy of IOSs has been well evaluated, studies on the effect of scanning duration on data accuracy are limited.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the relationship between different scanning durations and the accuracy of the scanned data.

Material And Methods: Two experienced operators used the same intraoral scanner (TRIOS 3; 3Shape A/S) to scan a gypsum cast, but with 5 different scanning durations (30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 120 seconds, and 180 seconds), and the trueness of the scanned data was assessed. Ten scans for each duration group were performed, and all the acquired data were evaluated for precision analysis. In addition, each scanned complete arch cast was divided into anterior and posterior regions at the canine teeth, and the 3-way ANOVA test was used to assess the scanning trueness and precision of the scanned anterior and posterior dental arch.

Results: The intraoral scanning results between the 2 operators were highly consistent. The data of the 30-second group showed the lowest trueness and precision (P<.001), whereas no significant difference was found among the other groups (P>.05). The trueness and precision of the scanning data in the posterior region was inferior to that in the anterior region (P<.001).

Conclusions: The duration time of the intraoral scanning (ranging from 60 seconds to 180 seconds) did not influence the accuracy of the acquired data, while excessively rapid scanning adversely affected accuracy.

Thiouracil (2-thiouracil) is a thyrostat used to promote weight gain in cattle. However, its use is prohibited within the European Union (EU), necessitating the monitoring of its presence in bovine urine for beef exports to the EU. In this study, we present the development and validation of a quantitative method for the determination of 2-thiouracil, 4-thiouracil, and 6-methyl-2-thiouracil in bovine urine using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Statement Of Problem: Intraoral scans can be articulated in maximum intercuspal position (MIP) by using an artificial intelligence (AI) based program; however, the impact of edentulous areas on the accuracy of the MIP located using this AI-based program is unknown.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the impact of edentulous areas (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 posterior mandibular teeth) on the accuracy of the MIP located using 3 intraoral scanners (IOSs) and an AI-based program.

Material And Methods: Stone casts articulated in MIP in an articulator were digitized (T710).

Background/purpose: The accuracy of intraoral scanners (IOSs) plays a crucial role in the success of final restorations in digital workflows. Previous studies have shown that numerous factors affect the accuracy of IOSs. Most studies have evaluated the accuracy of IOS under one restoration condition.

Objectives: To investigate the influence of different facial scanners and integration approaches on the accuracy of virtual dental patients (VDPs).

Methods: Forty VDPs were generated using a head mannequin and two facial scanners: 1) an industrial scanner and 2) a smartphone scanner. For each scanner, two integration methods were applied: 1) integration by virtual facebow scan and 2) integration by nose-teeth scan.

Objectives: To in-vitro evaluate the feasibility and accuracy (trueness and precision) of various intraoral scanners (IOS) to digitize maxillectomy defect models with exposed zygomatic implants in situ.

Material And Methods: Six partially edentulous and edentulous maxillectomy defect models with 2 zygomatic implants each were obtained. References scans were obatined by using a laboratory scanner (inEos X5; Dentsply Sirona).
