Article Abstract
The purpose of impression-taking is to attain the accurate transfer of intraoral information for extraoral use. It is a crucial step in performing a successful dental implant restorative procedure. To accurately replicate the implant position for adaptation of an abutment that will completely engage with the implant, a pick-up impression is taken with an impression coping. Several factors can affect seating of the impression coping, including soft-tissue interference, the size of the impression coping, angulation, proximity or contact with adjacent teeth, damage to the coping, misfit caused by use of other manufacturers' parts, and differences between seating in an external- versus internal-connection implant. This article presents use of a novel verification guide that is intended to ensure complete seating of the impression coping with the implant.

In South Africa, sexual minority men (SMM) face high HIV rates and challenges with antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence, hindering viral suppression. Factors, such as non-disclosure, stigma, and partner dynamics, complicate adherence. Long-acting ART options, like injectables, could help address these challenges; however, their acceptability among SMM in South Africa remains unclear.

Purpose: To investigate a novel method that uses a single impression, facilitated by additive technologies, to fabricate a metal post and core and metal coping.
Methods: Twenty-four human single-rooted teeth were divided into two groups-one for use with a conventional two-appointment method (CT group) and the other for a novel, one-appointment method (OA group). The CT group required separate impressions and cast models for the metal post and core and coping.
