AI Article Synopsis
- A new digital workflow for All-on-4 implant-supported rehabilitations was developed, focusing on improved efficiency and outcomes.
- The process involved advanced technologies like CT scanning, intra-oral scanning, and CAD-CAM for producing temporary prostheses along with 3D printed guides.
- The workflow resulted in quick, successful rehabilitations, completing procedures in under 2.5 hours with no issues related to prosthesis fitting, showcasing it as a viable alternative.
Article Abstract
(1) : Recent digital workflows are being developed for full-arch rehabilitations supported by implants with immediate function. The purpose of this case series is to describe a new digital workflow for the All-on-4 concept. (2) : The patients were rehabilitated using the All-on-4 concept with a digital workflow including computerized tomography scanning, intra-oral scanning, and CAD-CAM production of the temporary prosthesis, with the 3D printing of stackable guides (base guide, implant guide, and prosthetic guide). The passive fit of the prostheses and the time to perform the rehabilitations were evaluated. (3) : The digital workflow allowed for predictable bone reduction, the insertion of implants with immediate function, and the connection of an implant-supported prosthesis with immediate loading. The time registered to perform the full-arch rehabilitations (implant insertion, abutment connection, prosthesis connection) was below 2 hours and 30 min. No passive fit issues were noted. (4) : within the limitation of this case series, the digital workflow applied to the All-on-4 concept using stackable base-, implant-, and prosthetic guides constitutes a potential alternative with decreased time for the procedure without prejudice of the outcome.

Background: Health authorities worldwide have invested in digital technologies to establish robust information exchange systems for improving the safety and efficiency of medication management. Nevertheless, inaccurate medication lists and information gaps are common, particularly during care transitions, leading to avoidable harm, inefficiencies, and increased costs. Besides fragmented health care processes, the inconsistent incorporation of patient-driven changes contributes to these problems.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising solutions for many steps of the cardiac imaging workflow, from patient and test selection through image acquisition, reconstruction, and interpretation, extending to prognostication and reporting. Despite the development of many cardiac imaging AI algorithms, AI tools are at various stages of development and face challenges for clinical implementation. This scientific statement, endorsed by several societies in the field, provides an overview of the current landscape and challenges of AI applications in cardiac CT and MRI.

Sudden cardiac death is a leading cause of mortality in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The PRecIsion Medicine in CardiomYopathy consortium developed a validated tool (PRIMaCY) for sudden cardiac death risk prediction to help with implantable cardioverter defibrillator shared decision-making, as recommended by clinical practice guidelines. The mplemeting a udden Cardiac Dath isk Assessment ool in hildhood (INSERT-HCM) study aims to implement PRIMaCY into electronic health records (EHRs) and assess implementation determinants and outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Patients needing implant therapy in the posterior area were treated with a 1-stage surgery protocol; concave (CONC) or straight (STR) healing abutments were randomly assigned after implant installation. Before surgery, a CBCT and an intra-oral scan were obtained (IOS#0); IOS#1 was taken after soft tissue healing.
