This clinical report presents a comprehensive digital workflow for rehabilitating a patient with maxillary terminal dentition using a full-arch, implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (FP-1). It highlights the integration of a 3D-printed polychromatic flangeless trial denture and a customized anatomic bone reduction template, enabling prosthetically driven implant planning and optimal bone architecture modification. The workflow incorporated fully guided implant surgery using sequential templates and immediate loading with a closed-mouth pickup system.

Mouthguards are recommended for all sports that may cause injuries to the head and oral cavity. Custom mouthguards, made conventionally in the thermoforming process from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), face challenges with thinning at the incisor area during the process. In contrast, additive manufacturing (AM) processes enable the precise reproduction of the dimensions specified in a computer-aided design (CAD) model.

Accurate full-arch impressions are crucial for predictable prosthodontic outcomes. While intraoral scanners (IOSs) are increasingly adopted, evidence comparing their accuracy with conventional analog impressions across full mandibular arches-particularly under both laboratory and clinical conditions using an objective intraoral reference-is limited. Our study aims to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo accuracy of digital impressions compared to conventional methods in full-arch scans using an intraoral reference tool.

This article presents a step-by-step digital technique for fabricating a 3D-printed surgical guide to assist in alveoloplasty for immediate denture placement. The workflow integrates intraoral scanning, virtual tooth extraction, digital soft tissue modeling, and additive manufacturing to produce a customized guide with an occlusal window and buccal slot, along with a verification stent. This method ensures precise ridge recontouring and verification, enhancing surgical predictability and prosthetic fit.

Exploratory study of nanoparticle interaction with intraorally formed dental biofilms.

BMC Oral Health

August 2025

Clinic of Operative Dentistry, Periodontology and Preventive Dentistry, University Hospital, Saarland University, Building 73, 66421, Homburg/Saar, Germany.

Background: The development of nanoparticles offers promising potential for improving biofilm management; however, the biofilm itself acts as a diffusion barrier, limiting effective treatment. This study aimed to investigate the adsorption and diffusion of nanoparticles in an intraorally formed biofilm.

Methods: Bovine enamel specimens (n = 24) were mounted on customized maxillary splints and worn intraorally by two subjects for 24 h to allow biofilm formation.
