IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications began publishing "Applications" as a regular department under its present editor 30 years ago in November 1994, with the goal of featuring interesting examples of using computer graphics to solve real-world problems. The Applications department has appeared in every issue since, making the present article the 181st such article to appear. To mark this occasion, the Applications department takes a look back by revisiting the most cited articles that have appeared since the department's inception.

This case report outlines the procedural sequence used for anterior diastema closure via laminated lithium disilicate veneers fabricated with a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing system. A hybrid digital workflow was employed to close a diastema between the maxillary central incisors of a 42-year-old woman. The planning phase involved the creation of provisional resin veneers based on digital smile design, facilitating minimally invasive dental preparations.

Malpositioned implants can lead to adjunctive treatment that not only increases time and costs but also can put implants at an increased risk for peri-implantitis, compromise the prosthetic restorability, and negatively affect esthetics. This article describes a novel technique for digital planning to ensure ideal implant positioning and to determine if adjunct treatment is needed prior to implant placement.

Objectives: Maxillary transverse deficiency is a common malocclusion frequently observed in orthodontic clinics. Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) not only produces greater skeletal expansion but also offers advantages such as simple miniscrew implantation without flap elevation, enhanced patient comfort, and an expanded age range and indications for palatal expansion. However, the fixed connection between the expander and the miniscrews makes the expander difficult to remove, significantly hindering its clinical application.

Objectives: Although there has been rapid development in the field of three-dimensional morphological analyses of congenital heart disease, with the three-dimensional volume-rendered images providing visualization of the external vascular anatomy, the precise reproduction of "Swiss-cheese" ventricular septum is not well established. We created three-dimensional printed models and computer graphics based on multi-slice computed tomography of patients with complex multiple ventricular septal defects for surgical decision planning of this difficult cardiac defect.
Methods: Seven patients with complex multiple ventricular septal defects were evaluated preoperatively using three-dimensional printed models and computer graphics to plan therapeutic interventions.
