This case report presents a challenging case of catastrophic failure of a fixed partial denture involving fracture of the prosthesis as well as supporting implants and teeth. The use of robotics facilitated efficient and successful restoration of the patient's dentition. After extraction of 2 fractured teeth and 1 fractured implant, 2 new implants were placed with haptic guidance from robotics, which allowed for stable osteotomies and high initial implant stability quotients. Due to the patient's tremors and heavy occlusal forces, restoration was delayed to allow the surgical site to heal, and the patient received a provisional partial denture. With subsequent placement of the final restoration, the treatment was fully completed in 4.5 months and required only a single surgical procedure. The use of haptic robotics in this case allowed for accurate planning, spacing, and placement of screw-retained implants with an optimal arch, leading to the best long-term outcome for the patient.

Introduction: In vitro studies show that fluoride varnishes (FV) differ significantly in their ability to remineralize and fluoridate enamel caries lesions, as respectively measured by surface microhardness recovery (%SMHr) and enamel fluoride-uptake (EFU). However, there is a need to confirm these findings in clinically relevant conditions.
Methods: This in situ study adopted a five-leg cross-over design.

Objectives: To determine the clinical performance of long-term temporary fixed dental prostheses (LTFDPs) manufactured from CAD/CAM temporary resin-based composite.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective data of 46 patients supplied with 73 LTFDPs (partial coverage crowns, crowns, fixed dental prostheses) manufactured from a CAD/CAM resin-based composite luted either temporarily, selfadhsesively, or adhesively were analyzed for failures and complications.
Results: Datasets of 44 patients with 71 LTFDPs (12 partial-coverage crowns, 31 crowns, 28 fixed dental prostheses) were included in the analyses; median observation time was 362.

Purpose: Three-dimensional (3D) printing must go through a post-processing procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different cleaning methods on 3D printed three-unit fixed partial dentures using 3D analysis.
Materials And Methods: A three-unit fixed partial denture was designed and printed using two different printers.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-step oral hygiene intervention among removal partial denture (RPD) wearers.
Methods: A 12-week, single-blind, randomised, 2-armed, parallel-group, controlled trial was conducted with 49 RPD-wearing participants with mild-moderate gingivitis. The intervention group received stannous fluoride toothpaste, sodium fluoride mouth rinse, and an antibacterial denture cleanser foam.
Implant dislocation into the maxillary sinus after 30 years of loading due to peri-implantitis: A case report.
Int J Oral Implantol (Berl)
March 2025
Purpose: Dislocation of implants into the maxillary sinus typically occurs during surgery or in the early postoperative period. This case study presents an instance of implant dislocation that occurred after 30 years under functional loading due to peri-implantitis.
Materials And Methods: An 87-year-old woman presented with a loosened fixed partial denture, revealing a missing implant in the maxillary left second molar site upon clinical examination.
