This study aimed to identify the ideal interimplant distance for optimum outcome on immediately loaded implant supported prosthesis. Hence this study was taken up to analyze the effect of varying interimplant distance on fracture resistance of implant supported provisional fixed dental prosthesis (FDP). A total of 24 bis-acrylate composite resin samples were prepared. Interimplant distance was present in the metal die for placement of dummy implants at distances of 14 mm, 21 mm, and 30 mm respectively. Wax-up for 3-unit, 4-unit, and 5-unit implant-supported provisional restoration was made. Silicone molds were used for making multiple interim prostheses using bis-acrylate composite material. All samples were subjected to fracture test in the universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. All samples were loaded with gradual force starting from 100 N until it fractured. The load was applied at the center of prosthesis. Data was analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test. Mean fracture resistance of 3-unit provisional FDP at 14 mm of interimplant distance showed 1342.61 ± 179.15 N. Mean fracture resistance of 4-unit provisional FDP at 21 mm of interimplant distance showed 1420.44 ± 170.37 N. Mean fracture resistance of 5-unit provisional FDP at 30 mm of interimplant distance showed 791.61 ± 203.59 N. Both 14 mm and 21 mm of interimplant distance are suitable span lengths to be considered for the optimum outcome during immediately loading with implant-supported provisional restorations. Limitations of the study were that force application was static in nature and not dynamic and the arch form was not "U" shaped but longitudinal using Bis-Acryl material only with no cantilever. Future studies can be done to evaluate the fracture resistance of bis-acrylate material considering biomechanics and arch form of natural dentition. Distal cantilever should be considered along with different material for fabricating provisional restoration.

Scan accuracy of recently introduced wireless intraoral scanners in different fixed partial denture situations.
J Dent
January 2025
Department of Reconstructive Dentistry and Gerodontology, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland; Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Material Science, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the accuracy of new wireless intraoral scanners (IOSs) with traditional wired IOSs in different scenarios related to fixed partial dentures (FPDs).
- Models of partially edentulous maxillae were scanned using both types of scanners and results were analyzed against reference scans to measure trueness and precision.
- Findings revealed that while the wireless IOSs showed good accuracy, wired IOSs outperformed in certain metrics, particularly in angular and interimplant distance measurements, with higher inaccuracies noted in posterior FPDs.
Impact of Vertical Inter-Implant Distance in Two Adjacent Single-Unit Posterior Implants: A Retrospective Cohort Study With 1-8 Years of Follow-Up.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how different vertical interimplant distances (VIDs) affect the long-term success of adjacent single-unit implants.
- Analysis of 290 patients with 376 implants revealed that implant survival and complication-free rates were similar regardless of VID, with survival rates at 93.2% for VID < 2 mm and 96.8% for VID ≥ 2 mm over 8 years.
- The conclusions indicate that varying VIDs and horizontal inter-implant distances do not significantly impact implant success, highlighting the generally positive prognosis for adjacent single-unit implants.

Purpose: To evaluate how build orientation affects the fabrication trueness of additively manufactured implant-supported complete arch prostheses by comparing them to subtractively manufactured high-impact polymer-based prostheses.
Materials And Methods: An edentulous maxillary model with four implants at canine and first molar regions bilaterally was digitized (ATOS Core 80 5MP) to design a reference implant-supported complete arch prosthesis standard tessellation language file (RF-STL). The STL file was used to manufacture prostheses additively in five different orientations according to the build platform (AM-0, 0-degree; AM-15, 15-degree; AM-30, 30-degree; AM-45, 45-degree; AM-90, 90-degree) or subtractively (SM-HIP, control) (n = 10).

Objectives: This study aims to examine differences in trueness and precision between surgical guides with (S) and without sleeves (SL). A secondary aim was to assess the impact of the sleeve-to-bone distance.
Materials And Methods: Mandible replicas (n = 120) were printed from an STL file obtained from a clinical CBCT.
