Article Abstract

A multi-layer feature optimization Transformer-based tooth position prediction method is proposed to address the problems of difficult access to high-precision medical data and the difficulty of capturing and representing hierarchical features and spatial relationships among teeth by current methods. First, a geometric adaptive optimization strategy and a physiological adaptive reconstruction strategy are designed for real-time adaptation to the complexity of different clinical environments and enhanced pose invariance by integrating the physiological characteristics and anatomical structure of teeth. Then, a hierarchical feature tooth position prediction network was designed to solve the problems of weak ability of MLPs to process high-dimensional data and low accuracy of prediction transformation matrix by extracting hierarchical geometric features of teeth. Finally, a jointly supervised loss function is constructed, which can simultaneously capture the intrinsic differences, spatial relationships and uncertainties of the tooth position prediction disorder distribution, and can effectively supervise the tooth spatial structure relationships and prevent tooth collisions and misalignments. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed method is improved by 2.87% and the rotation and translation errors are reduced by 28.28% and 37.53%, respectively, compared with the current method.

Purpose: To present a novel digital workflow (the Columbus Digital Bridge Protocol) for immediately loaded full-arch rehabilitations, integrating digital technologies throughout diagnostic, surgical and prosthetic phases, with a focus on the application of intraoral photogrammetry scanning.

Materials And Methods: The workflow presented in this article, successfully implemented in 14 patients, includes standardised clinical steps: digital diagnostic planning through matching of facial scans and CBCT data, surgical placement of four implants following tooth extraction, immediate post-surgical intraoral photogrammetry scanning using a three-step procedure (i.e.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the inflammatory responses of two cordless gingival retraction systems by assessing the levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). The objectives were to measure IL-1β and TNF-α levels before and after retraction using kaolin-based and polyvinyl acetate-based cordless gingival retraction materials at baseline, 1 h, and 24 h, and to compare the inflammatory profiles of these materials.

Materials And Methods: This in-vivo comparative study used a split-mouth design, with each of the 10 enrolled patients serving as their own control by receiving both kaolin-based paste (Traxodent®, Premier Dental Products, Plymouth Meeting, PA, USA) and polyvinyl acetate-based strip (Merocel®, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) on different endodontically treated teeth requiring full-coverage crowns, thereby minimizing interindividual variability.

The presence of a fourth supernumerary molar in the mandible represents a rare anomaly of dentofacial development. Here, we describe an exceptional, previously unreported case of a 33-year-old man with a solitary ectopic supernumerary fourth molar located in the sigmoid notch, which was associated with a dentigerous cyst. In addition, a review of the literature related to this uncommon and atypical clinical presentation is provided.
