Article Abstract
Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the learning of fixed prosthodontics course from the viewpoint of students and faculty members of Kermanshah Dentistry School.
Material And Methods: This research was a descriptive-analytical study conducted using the convenient sampling method. A total of 72 students and 5 faculty members were included in the study. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire containing two sections. The first section consists of demographic information, and the second section consists of 14 questions to evaluate the factors affecting the learning of the fixed prosthodontics course.
Results: From the students' point of view, there was a significant relationship between the effect of using clinical points during a teaching on the learning efficacy of the fixed prosthodontics course and gender (P = 0.028). There was a statistically significant relationship between the level of professor's knowledge regarding the modern educational methods on the learning of fixed prosthodontics course (P = 0.034). The factor of displaying and implementing practical work on the real patient was considered important by students, and having knowledge about modern educational methods was considered important by faculty members.
Conclusions: It is recommended that appropriate educational planning be implemented to enhance students' practical work on the real patient and increase professors' knowledge about modern educational methods.

Department of Reconstructive Dentistry and Gerodontology, School of Dental Medicine, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the inherent and after cyclic loading fracture strength of implant-supported cantilevered fixed prostheses fabricated from recently introduced additively manufactured (AM) and subtractively manufactured (SM) materials, considering variations in prosthesis height.
Materials And Methods: Three cylinder-shaped master files (20 mm long and 11 mm wide) with varying heights (7, 11, and 15 mm) and a titanium-base (Ti-base) abutment space were designed. These designs were used to fabricate a total of 144 specimens with two AM resins indicated for definitive use (Crowntec; AM-CT and Flexcera Smile Ultra+; AM-FS), one high-impact polymer composite (breCAM.

Purpose: This systematic review and meta- analysis aimed to evaluate the occlusion variations in single posterior implant supported fixed prostheses.
Materials And Methods: The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed and the study was registered in the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) platform (CRD42024501657). A systematic search of the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases published until December 2024 was done by 2 independent reviewers, without restriction of language or publication date.

Purpose: This study investigated how different data collection methods affect final restoration design and dynamic occlusal morphology.
Materials And Methods: Digital systems allow intraoral recording of functional occlusal paths through the digitally recorded functionally generated pathway (DRFGP) technique, using intraoral scanners and optical jaw tracking. Two substudies were conducted.

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.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of occlusion type and artificial intelligence-based computer-aided design (CAD) software on the geometric accuracy and clinical quality of auto-generated anterior and posterior crown designs.
Methods: Five typodont models representing various occlusion types (normal, Class I anterior diastema, Class II division 1, Class II division 2, and Class III anterior crossbite occlusion) underwent crown preparation for the maxillary right central incisor and first molar. Ten sets of intraoral scans were obtained from each prepared model, and crown designs were automatically generated using two software programs: deep learning-based (DL; Dentbird) and conventional automated (CA; Auto Workflow, 3Shape) (n = 10).
