Article Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the presence of adjacent teeth on the accuracy of intraoral scanning (IOS) systems for class II inlay preparation.

Materials And Methods: The mesio-occlusal inlay preparation was prepared in an anatomical model of the maxillary molar. The prepared tooth was secured to a typodont with the mesial adjacent tooth removed or in situ. Ten digital impressions of the inlay preparation were acquired using three IOS systems (CEREC Primescan, 3Shape TRIOS 3, and Medit i500). A laboratory scanner (3Shape E3) was used to obtain the reference scan data. The mean absolute deviation values were calculated to evaluate the accuracy of the digital models.

Results: The group with the adjacent teeth present showed lower trueness and precision compared to that without the adjacent tooth (p < .05). Significant differences were observed among the IOS systems (p < .05). Primescan showed the highest accuracy, irrespective of the presence of adjacent teeth.

Conclusions: The presence of the adjacent tooth negatively affected the accuracy of all the IOSs tested. Although the performance of Primescan was superior to that of TRIOS 3 and i500, each IOS system showed clinically acceptable levels of accuracy for class II inlay preparation.

Clinical Significance: The adjacent tooth can be a confounding factor for accurate digital impressions of class II inlay preparation.

Introduction: Pulse oximetry exhibits great potential for use in endodontic diagnosis as an effective method to assess pulp vitality. Cell phone-integrated oximeters represent an emerging alternative that may offer greater accessibility. This study aimed to investigate the relation between pulp oxygenation rates (%SpO) and clinical diagnosis of healthy pulp (HP), reversible pulpitis (RP), symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (IP), or pulp necrosis (PN), comparing two pulse oximeters (conventional and mobile-connected).

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the incidence, imaging characteristics, and clinical manifestations of the eruption failure of deciduous molars using panoramic radiographs to provide a foundation for diagnosis and treatment in this population.

Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed panoramic radiographs of children aged 4-8 years obtained from Stomatology Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between January 2021 and December 2023. A total of 31 331 subjects were included for the radiographic assessment of the tooth eruption failure of deciduous molars.

Supernumerary teeth are additional teeth that develop beyond the normal dentition and can appear in various forms and locations. While often asymptomatic, impacted supernumerary teeth may interfere with the eruption of permanent teeth or displace adjacent structures. This case report presents a rare occurrence of bilateral, morphologically dissimilar, impacted supernumerary teeth in a non-syndromic pediatric patient.
