Objective: This study evaluated the accuracy of different intraoral scanners (IOS) for scanning of implant-supported full arch fixed prosthesis with different implant angulations with and without scanbodies splinting.
Materials And Methods: Two maxillary models were designed and fabricated to receive an all-on-four implant retained. The models were divided into two groups according to the angulation of the posterior implant (Group 1; 30 and Group 2; 45). Each group was then divided into three subgroups according to the type of IOS used: Subgroup C; Primescan, subgroup T; Trios4, and subgroup M; Medit i600. Then each subgroup was divided into two divisions according to scanning technique; division S: splinted and division N: nonsplinted. Ten scans were made by each scanner for every division. Trueness and precision were analyzed using Geomagic controlX analysis software.
Results: Angulation had no significant effect on both the trueness (p = 0.854) and precision (p = 0.347). Splinting had a significant effect on trueness and precision (p < 0.001). Scanner type had a significant effect on trueness (p < 0.001) and precision (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between trueness of Trios 4 (112.15 ± 12.85) and Primescan (106.75 ± 22.58). However, there was a significant difference when compared to trueness of Medit i600 (158.50 ± 27.65). For the precision results Cerec Primescan showed the highest precision (95.45 ± 33.21). There was a significant difference between the three scanners, precision of Trios4 (109.72 ± 19.24) and Medit i600 (121.21 ± 17.26).
Conclusion: Cerec Primescan has higher trueness and precision than Trios 4 and Medit i600 in full arch implants scanning. Splinting the scanbodies improve the accuracy of full arch implants scanning.
Clinical Significance: Cerec Primescan and 3Shape Trios 4 can be used for scanning of All-on-four implant supported prosthesis when scanbodies are splinted using a modular chain device.

Purpose: Crown preparation is a fundamental procedure in restorative dentistry. This study aimed to evaluate quantitative and color-coded assessment of tooth reduction using various 3D-printed tooth reduction guides in comparison to conventional guiding methods during crown preparation.
Methods: Twelve prosthodontic residents from a single prosthodontic graduate program (first year: n = 6; second year: n = 6) participated in this IRB-approved study (Yonsei University Dental Hospital IRB 2-2024-0026).

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of low-nicotine cigarette smoke (CS) inhalation on orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in rats.
Methods: Forty 4-week-old male Wistar rats, were randomly divided into four groups: three experimental and one control. Group 1 (control group) had dental impressions taken at week 9.

Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to assess whether the accuracy (trueness and precision) of full-arch implant digital impressions can be improved by replacing standard digital impressions (StDIs) with segmented digital impressions (SgDIs), obtained by superimposing short-span digital impressions using a geometric pattern.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted using a commercial edentulous maxillary model with four implants-positioned at the sites of the canines and second molars-and four commercial intraoral scan bodies (ISBs) screwed to them. Ten StDIs and SgDIs of the model were obtained, and their accuracy was evaluated and compared in terms of trueness and precision, based on measurements of three distances and three angles between the ISBs.

Purpose: Designing restorations remains challenging because the process is time-consuming and requires operator skill and experience. This clinical study evaluated the fit accuracy of polymerized complete crowns fabricated using a web-based 3D generative artificial intelligence design (GAID) method compared to crowns fabricated using a conventional computer-aided design (CCAD) method.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-two patients requiring complete crowns in maxillary and mandibular premolars and molars were enrolled.

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.
