Article Abstract

The technique described herein uses a single wand that includes both intraoral scanning and intraoral photogrammetry to accurately capture abutment positions as well as soft tissue. This method minimizes the risk of malalignment because the abutment and soft tissue images are combined within one platform. At surgery, implants and multiunit abutments are placed and the abutments are scanned with an intraoral photogrammetry wand. These files are uploaded to the lab technician merges the files with a preoperative digital plan. A prosthesis is then fabricated and placed with no chairside conversion. This method is time-efficient and cost-efficient with no need for the lab technician or restorative dentist to be at implant placement surgery.

Faculty of Dental Medicine, Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Estrada da Circunvalação, 3504-505, Viseu, Portugal.

The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review to comprehensively explore the factors contributing to the resin-matrix composites' toxicity in patients. A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. The bibliographic review was performed in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Central and Web of Science.

Full-arch implant therapy with immediate provisionalization is a popular procedure. Conventionally, chairside conversion of a prefabricated prosthesis or an abutment-level impression is usually required. This case report describes a novel approach to picking up a prefabricated full-arch prosthesis utilizing various digital techniques.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated how the thickness of CAD-CAM manufactured resin-matrix composite blocks affects light transmittance through different types of cements and flowable composites.
  • Sixty specimens were created with varying thicknesses, and light transmittance was measured before and after curing, along with mechanical evaluations.
  • Results showed traditional flowable composites allowed for greater light transmittance compared to dual-cured cements, and thickness, along with filler content, influenced the light transmission and mechanical properties of the materials.
