Influence of 3D Printing, Implant Macro-Design and Alveolar Ridge Morphology on Accuracy and Primary Stability in Static Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery: An In Vitro Study.

OBJECTIVES To assess the positional accuracy of static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) using guides printed by digital light processing (DLP) or material extrusion (ME), and to compare insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotient (ISQ) of two tissue-level implants (Straumann TLC, TLX) in healed premol...

Comparison of Artificial Intelligence-Generated and Technician- Designed Maxillary Central Incisor Crowns: An In Vitro Study.

STL Triangle Count and Trueness in Prepared Tooth Regions: Effects of Scanner System and Scanning Mode Across Intraoral, Laboratory, and Industrial Scanners.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of different scanning modes of intraoral scanners (scan-only versus restoration type selected) on STL triangle counts and to assess the influence of STL triangle counts on trueness across different scanner systems. METHODS A typodont model with 3 prepared teeth was scanned with 15 s...

Influence of resin type and new-generation post-processing cleaning solutions on the fabrication trueness and adaptation of additively manufactured denture bases.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the fabrication trueness and adaptation of additively manufactured denture bases made from different resins and postprocessed with different cleaning solutions. METHODS An edentulous maxillary model was scanned to design a reference denture base file. This reference file was used to fabricate 9...

Polymerization behavior, filler weight, mechanical properties, and Weibull parameters of additively manufactured resins for definitive short-span fixed dental prostheses.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the polymerization behavior among commercially available and experimental additively manufactured (AM) resins intended for definitive short-span fixed dental prostheses, while comparing their inorganic filler weight, mechanical properties, and reliability with a subtractively manufactured resin....

Artificial intelligence in radiographic quantification and severity assessment of peri-implant marginal bone loss: A systematic review.

PURPOSE To critically assess artificial intelligence (AI)-based radiographic models for quantitative measurement, localization/detection, segmentation/keypoints, diagnostic classification, and severity or morphology assessment of peri-implant marginal bone loss (MBL) and peri-implantitis-related bone defects. METHODS...

Influence of post-printing cleaning solutions on the occlusal wear and fracture resistance of 3D printed resin-based crowns after thermomechanical aging.

The SR resin demonstrated superior wear resistance compared with the TR resin, and the effect of cleaning solutions on fracture resistance was dependent on both resin type and aging condition, with significant differences observed only in aged SR specimens.

Digital era in oral rehabilitation: a scoping review of trends and implications for clinical practice

Abstract This scoping review mapped the evidence on the clinical applicability and implications of digital workflows for fixed and removable full-arch rehabilitation in completely edentulous patients, focusing on workflow-related operational parameters and clinician-reported outcomes. This review was conducted in accor...

Accuracy of Pterygoid Implant Placement With Augmented and Mixed Reality Navigation: An In Vitro Study.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR)-assisted technologies for pterygoid implant trajectory guidance under anatomically challenging posterior maxillary conditions in the in vitro experimental model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cone beam computed tomography datasets from eight...

Effect of polymerization unit and support bar design on the trueness and fit of additively manufactured implant-supported complete-arch fixed frameworks: An in vitro study.

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the influence of polymerization units and support bar design on the trueness and fit of complete-arch implant-supported frameworks fabricated using digital light processing (DLP) additive manufacturing (AM) and compared their performance with a subtractively manufactured (SM) control. M...

Adjustment Efficiency and Internal Fit of Screw-Retained Zirconia Crowns on Additively Manufactured Dental Casts: An In Vitro Study on the Effect of Printing Layer Thickness and Digital Implant Analog Design.

PURPOSE To evaluate how the layer thickness of additively manufactured casts and implant analog design influence the adjustment efficiency and internal fit of screw-retained zirconia crowns, compared with those adjusted on conventional stone casts. MATERIALS AND METHODS A master mandibular model with an implant and i...

The effect of build angle and intraarch connector design on the accuracy and fit of additively manufactured complete-arch implant-supported interim fixed prostheses.

Within the limitations of this single-system in vitro study, AM complete-arch implant-supported interim fixed prostheses in a 0° no-bar configuration demonstrated accuracy comparable to SM HIPC, but the marginal gaps found in some groups were beyond clinical acceptability.
