Article Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of different preparation designs and scan patterns on the accuracy of intraoral scans for complete-arch maxillary laminate veneers.
Materials And Methods: Three maxillary typodonts were used to obtain reference models with three different laminate veneer preparation designs: windows (W), beveled (B), and incisal overlap (IO). Reference scans were obtained with a desktop scanner. A total of 90 complete arch intraoral scans were made with an intraoral scanner (Medit i700) following three different scan patterns: straight motion (SM), zigzag motion (ZM), and combined motion (CM). Ten scans were made in each subgroup and exported as standard tessellation language (STL) files. Assessment of accuracy was conducted with a 3D software analysis program (Geomagic Control X). Each STL file was individually aligned with the reference scan using the best fit algorithm tool, and 3D differences were calculated using the root mean square (RMS) value. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by post hoc comparison tests were applied to analyze precision and trueness data (α = 0.05).
Results: Two-way ANOVA and post hoc comparison tests revealed significant differences among different preparation designs and scan patterns (p < 0.05). Regarding trueness, the IO when scanned with SM presented higher mean RMS than the other preparation designs (W and B) scanned with the same scanning pattern (p < 0.05). Regarding precision, the groups of W and IO presented significantly higher mean RMS than the group of B when scanned with ZM (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Accuracy of intraoral scans for complete-arch laminate veneers was affected by different laminate veneer preparation designs and scan patterns.
Clinical Significance: Modifying scan pattern according to preparation design helps to improve scan accuracy for complete-arch laminate veneers.

A digital workflow merging root submergence, immediate dental implant and definitive intermediate abutment placements, and custom healing abutment fabrication to enhance esthetic and biological outcomes in immediate implant procedures is described. The procedure involves a prosthetically driven plan on intraoral and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, digital planning using a specialized software program, the creation of a surgical guide, and the digital design of custom components. A 3-dimensionally (3D) printed healing abutment was produced by following specific protocols.

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).

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of static guided surgery using a pilot drill guide and dynamic guided surgery for dental implant placement.
Materials And Methods: Partially edentulous adult patients requiring implant placement were randomly assigned to either the static guided surgery group using a pilot drill guide or the dynamic guided surgery group. Digital implant planning was conducted using intraoral scans and CBCT with planning software to determine the optimal prosthetic position.
