Accurately recording the deficiency of the three-dimensional position of dental implants and the predetermined occlusal relationship of edentulous jaws presents a significant challenge. This study aimed to achieve a truly digital workflow of immediate full-arch implant restoration by combinedcone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), photogrammetry (PG) devices, and intraoral scanners (IOS). This approach significantly reduces patient tooth loss time, minimizes the overall "chair time", and provides precise, comfortable, and efficient implant restoration treatment. A total of 11 edentulous patients (mean age 64.72 ± 9.83 years) were treated, and outcomes such as implant survival, prosthesis survival rates, marginal bone resorption, and incidences of complications were evaluated. The results demonstrated that immediate full-arch rehabilitation of edentulous jaws on 4 or 6 implants using a PG system is an effective, safe, and efficient approach to rehabilitation.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the feasibility and reliability of measuring the vertical dimension of occlusion/rest (OVD/RVD) on 3D facial scans of edentulous patients.
Methods: Nineteen edentulous participants rehabilitated with complete removable dental prostheses (CDs) participated in this study. Analog measurements (control) were obtained directly on the face for each participant with the jaws positioned at the rest position (without CDs, RVD) and at central occlusion (OVD), between the facial landmarks: Glabella (G) and Soft Pogonion (SP), Pronasale (PN) and SP, and Subnasale (SN) and SP.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical performance (degree of trueness) of a novel scan body "tooth-modified Scan body" (TMSB)& conventional scan body (CSB) in implant-supported full arch screw retained cases.
Methods: Seven edentulous arches (two maxillae, five mandibles) in 6 patients were rehabilitated with monolithic zirconia screw-retained implant prostheses supported by 4 (n = 1) and 5 implants (n = 6) for a total amount of 34 implants. Implant locations were scanned by intra-oral scanner (IOS) using two types of scan bodies, conventional scan bodies (CSB) in group (1) and tooth-modified scan bodies (TMSB) in group (2).

Objectives: This clinical study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of digital and conventional implant impressions in a fully edentulous maxilla and mandible.
Methods: A 53-year-old edentulous patient with four maxillary and two mandibular implants was selected. Ten intraoral scans (IOS) and a conventional impression per jaw were taken.

Objective: To study the biomechanical changes induced by differences in perioral force in patients with missing anterior maxillary teeth at rest via finite element analysis (FEA).
Methods: Using conical beam CT (CBCT) images of a healthy person, models of the complete maxillary anterior dental region (Model A) and maxillary anterior dental region with a missing left maxillary central incisor (Model B) were constructed. The labial and palatine alveolar bone and tooth surface of the bilateral incisor and cusp regions were selected as the application sites, the resting perioral force was applied perpendicular to the tissue surface, and the changes in maxillary stress and displacement after the perioral force was simulated were analyzed.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially edentulous ()PED condition on lung function through spirometry tests and comparison of airflow rates between dentulous and PED subjects.
Settings And Design: The study design was a cross-sectional study conducted in the department of prosthodontics.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight dentulous and 28 PED patients with an age range of 25-50 years were included in the study.
