Article Abstract
Background: Failure to restore missing teeth in time can easily lead to the mesial tilting of the distal abutment teeth. However, a fixed partial denture (FPD) can improve stress conduction and distribution and prevent periodontal injuries. In these more complex cases, it is necessary to consider various factors comprehensively to improve conventional treatment planning and achieve better results.
Methods: We selected a patient with a missing first molar and a mesial inclination of the second molar, leaving inadequate space or bone mass for implant denture restoration, necessitating an FPD for restoration. Three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA) combined with photoelastic analysis were used to explore how the inclination angle (0 ‒ 30°) and different dental restoration materials (zirconia, lithium disilicate, polymer-infiltrated ceramic network, and resin composite) affect the biomechanical behaviour of FPD‒abutments‒periodontal tissue complex.
Results: The stress was easily concentrated in the FPD connectors, enamel shoulder collar, periapical area, and root bifurcation. The stress on FPD and the periodontal ligament (PDL) of the second premolar increased with an increase in the elastic modulus of FPD, with an opposite trend in the abutments, the alveolar bone, and the PDL of the second molar. The stress on the FPD and alveolar bone increased with increased inclination angle of the distal abutment. The stress on two abutments and their PDL were positively correlated with the inclination angle in two stages; however, when the inclination angle > 12°, the second premolar and its PDL showed a negative correlation.
Conclusions: FPDs can be used for restoration within 24° of distal abutment inclination, but protecting the abutments (< 12° especially) and the periodontal tissue (> 12° especially) must be taken seriously. For this purpose, an FPD material with higher strength is recommended.

Benchmarking deep learning-designed inlay restorations across operator experience: An in vitro comparison of time efficiency, contact intensity, and contour quality.
J Dent
September 2025
Department of Reconstructive Dentistry and Gerodontology, School of Dental Medicine, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the performance of a deep learning (DL)-based workflow for designing inlays, in terms of time efficiency, contact intensity, and contour quality, by comparing it with human-based workflows. The impact of operator experience was also assessed to examine whether the DL-based workflow could reduce experience-related variability.
Methods: A total of 25 digital scans of maxillary and mandibular arches, including posterior abutments prepared for mesial-occlusal (MO) or distal-occlusal (DO) cavities, were used to design inlays using five different workflows.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the clinical and radiographic findings of definitive two-piece abutments placed at secondary surgery following submerged healing and definitive abutments used in standard prosthetic treatments.
Materials And Methods: The study was designed as a prospective, split-mouth, randomised, parallel-design, blinded clinical trial. The study comprised two groups: a test group and a control group.
The Effect of Restorative Emergence Angle on Soft and Hard Tissue Around Splinted Implants: A Preclinical Study.

Objective: To investigate the impact of the restorative emergence angle and splinting configurations on peri-implant soft and hard tissues.
Materials And Methods: Thirty implants were placed in the mandibular premolars (P2, P3, P4) of five beagle dogs. In a split-mouth design, each animal received both narrow (NE) (emergence angle = 30°) and wide (WE) (emergence angle = 60°) abutments on each side of the mandible.

Aim: To evaluate bone level changes in implants with 1-mm- or 3-mm-high abutments over a 7-year period and to investigate the role of abutment height upon peri-implant status.
Materials And Methods: Two-piece implants were placed 1.5 mm subcrestally with either 1-mm (control) or 3-mm (test) high definitive abutments.

Introduction: Dynamic navigation (DN), a computer-assisted technique integrating CBCT data and real-time video, has emerged as a promising approach to place implants in the recent years. This study aims to evaluate the consistency and ease of use of a dynamic navigation system for implant placement by comparing the accuracy in single and adjacent implant placements and workability achieved by three different operators.
Methods: This study included Forty-eight patients requiring dental implants, total of sixty implants were randomly assigned to 3 operators of varying experiences, the implants were planned and placed under DN.
