Objective: To compare the effectiveness of prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients using conventional complete dentures (CD), single median dental implant retained over dentures (SIMOD) with over dentures retained by two dental implants (TIMOD).
Methods: Thirty completely edentulous patients (fifteen each arm) presented to the Faculty of Dental Sciences, University of Peradeniya were randomly selected for the SIMOD or TIMOD groups. Patients were initially provided with CD. Surgical implant placement and prosthetic procedures were conducted at the Faculty of Dental Sciences. Osseointergration was confirmed, healing caps and then ball attachments were fixed on the implants. Clinical outcome was assessed by clinician, patient, and oral health related quality of life (OHRQOL) using OHIP-14 scale. Data were analyzed using Minitab P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant level.
Results: Patient comfort, esthetics, chewing, speech, general satisfaction, denture retention, stability, and support with TIMOD & SIMOD had been significantly increased than CD (p < 0.05) at 3, 6 months, and 1 year review. OHIP-14 scale showed statistically significant improved oral health related quality of life with SIMOD and TIMOD compared to CD.
Conclusion: SIMOD & TIMOD have improved outcome assessed by the patient and clinician and OHRQOL of the individual than CD. SIMOD can also be considered for successful management of completely edentulous patients.

Real-time surgical navigation systems (dynamic computer-aided surgery, d-CAIS) and static guided surgery (static computer-aided surgery, s-CAIS) have been shown to enhance the accuracy of zygomatic implant (ZI) placement. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate and compare the accuracy and risk of complications associated with d-CAIS and s-CAIS in ZI placement. A systematic review of published studies involving more than 4 patients was conducted to assess and compare the accuracy of d-CAIS and s-CAIS in zygomatic implant placement.

Objective: This expert opinion presents provisional guidelines for addressing complications associated with Additively Manufactured Subperiosteal Jaw Implants (AMSJI®) in patients with severe maxillary atrophy. AMSJI®'s custom design, supported by finite element analysis (FEA), allows precise placement that avoids critical anatomical structures and minimizes complications relative to alternative solutions.
Materials And Methods: Data were gathered through firsthand experiences, direct communications, and insights from international workgroup meetings.

Objectives: This study aims to develop an automated radiomics-based model to grade the pathological differentiation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and to assess the influence of various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences on the model's performance.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed MRI data from 256 patients across two medical centers, including both contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images (CET1WI) and T2-weighted images (T2WI). Regions of interest were delineated for radiomics feature extraction, followed by dimensionality reduction.

Objectives: Clinical data on the performance of double-crown-retained removable dental prostheses (dcRDPs), especially beyond university studies, are rare. The objective of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the survival and complication-freeness probabilities of dcRDPs and to identify risk factors for failure and complications in a dental practice setting.
Materials And Methods: Anonymized practice data of 174 patients (56.

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of different dental implant materials within the exomass on the image quality in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Material And Methods: Five pig jaws were scanned using four CBCT devices, first without any dental implants, followed by scans with three dental implants of the same material-pure titanium, titanium-zirconium alloy, and zirconium dioxide. Two fields of view (FOVs) were used for each device to position the implants in the exomass of a small FOV and within a large FOV.
