Article Abstract
The integration of 3D printing into dentistry has led to a revolution in the precision and personalization of dental care. This review examines the extensive applications of 3D printing technology in various branches of dentistry. With the capability to create highly detailed, patient-specific models, devices, and appliances, 3D printing is transforming clinical workflows, enhancing the accuracy of treatments, and reducing procedural time. Moreover, it supports a digital workflow that aligns with the growing trend of personalized healthcare. Innovations in printer resolution, biocompatible materials, and printing speed continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in dental care. However, limitations related to material properties, regulatory considerations, and the need for specialized training persist. The review also highlights ongoing advancements in 3D printing technology and materials, which promise to further revolutionize dental practice. In conclusion, 3D printing holds immense potential for enhancing dental care, although overcoming existing challenges will require ongoing research and innovation.

Survival outcomes of implants placed in the pterygoid region: A retrospective study of up to 9 years.
J Prosthodont
September 2025
Department of Community Medicine and Health Care, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, Connecticut, USA.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival outcomes of dental implants placed in the pterygoid region and assess the potential influence of multiple clinical variables on their survival.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on pterygoid implants placed over a 9-year period at the University of Connecticut Department of Prosthodontics. All pterygoid implants were placed by a single board-certified prosthodontist following a standardized surgical protocol.
Does it take more than a static pilot guide to match the accuracy of dynamic navigation? A preliminary randomised study.
Int J Oral Implantol (Berl)
September 2025
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.
A novel digital workflow for immediately loaded full-arch rehabilitations: The Columbus Digital Bridge Protocol.
Int J Oral Implantol (Berl)
September 2025
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.

Objectives: Dental trauma is a frequent injury in contact sports such as handball an basketball. This study aimed to evaluate preventive measures in dental traumatology and assess the knowledge of medical teams in elite German handball and basketball.
Material And Methods: From March to June 2024, supervisors of 1st and 2nd German Bundesliga handball (HB) and basketball (BB) teams were invited via email to complete an online questionnaire (Socey Survey).
The Effect of 6-Week Advanced Oral Care on Oral Microbiome and Mycobiome Composition in People With Dementia Living in Residential Aged Care.
Clin Exp Dent Res
October 2025
Tasmanian School of Medicine, College of Health and Medicine, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
Objectives: Oral health is an important aspect of quality of life for older people, especially those with dementia. The impact of an active oral hygiene program on the oral microbiome was explored in a group of older participants (average age 84 years old) with dementia against a separate control group whose oral hygiene followed the status quo.
Materials And Methods: The oral cavity bacteriomes and mycobiomes were assessed from swabs of cheek, gum, and tongue surfaces.
