Article Abstract
Background: Intraoral scanners (IOS) offer advantages in implant dentistry, but accuracy depends on factors including implant scan body (ISB) material and implant angulation. Conflicting evidence exists on the performance of Titanium (Ti) versus PEEK ISBs, especially with angulated implants. This study aimed to evaluate the combined effect of ISB material (PEEK vs. Ti) and implant angulation (0° vs. 30°) on the trueness and precision of digital impressions obtained from four different IOSs.
Methods: A 3D-printed edentulous maxillary model with four implants (two parallel 0°, two angled 30°). Four ISB configurations (Ti 0°, Ti 30°, PEEK 0°, PEEK 30°) were screwed to the implants and scanned (n = 10 per group) using four IOSs: Primescan, Trios 3, Aoralscan 3, and Fussen S6000. A high-resolution desktop scanner provided the reference. Trueness (RMS error vs. reference model) and precision (RMS error from intra-group comparisons) were calculated using Geomagic software. Data were analyzed using Friedman and Kruskal-Wallis tests (α = 0.05).
Results: ISB configuration significantly affected trueness (P < 0.001) and precision (P < 0.001). PEEK ISBs demonstrated significantly higher trueness and precision than Ti ISBs (P < 0.001). PEEK 30° showed the highest trueness, while PEEK 0° showed the highest precision. Angulation did not significantly affect trueness for Ti ISBs. IOS type significantly influenced trueness and precision across all ISB configurations (P < 0.001). Primescan and Trios 3 generally exhibited higher trueness and precision compared to Aoralscan 3 and Fussen S6000 (specific pairwise differences varied by condition, P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Both ISB material and implant angulation significantly influence the trueness and precision of full-arch digital implant impressions. PEEK ISBs consistently outperformed Titanium ISBs. Choice of IOS is also critical, with significant performance differences observed among the tested IOSs. Clinicians should consider these interactions when selecting materials and IOSs for optimal accuracy.

Enhancing the accuracy of full-arch digital implant impressions via segmentation: An in vitro study.

Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to assess whether the accuracy (trueness and precision) of full-arch implant digital impressions can be improved by replacing standard digital impressions (StDIs) with segmented digital impressions (SgDIs), obtained by superimposing short-span digital impressions using a geometric pattern.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted using a commercial edentulous maxillary model with four implants-positioned at the sites of the canines and second molars-and four commercial intraoral scan bodies (ISBs) screwed to them. Ten StDIs and SgDIs of the model were obtained, and their accuracy was evaluated and compared in terms of trueness and precision, based on measurements of three distances and three angles between the ISBs.

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.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of clinically practical auxiliary geometric devices (AGD) on measurement trueness and scan time in full-arch implant-supported prostheses, focusing on different intraoral scanners (IOS) and implant angulations.
Materials And Methods: Four implants were planned in an edentulous maxillary arch and divided into two groups based on posterior implant angulation: Model A (Parallel) and Model B (30°). Each model was evaluated under three auxiliary geometric devices (AGD) application types (std, agd1, agd2), and scanned using three different intraoral scanners (IOSs) [3Shape Trios 3 (T), Medit i700 (M), and Cerec Primescan (PS)], resulting in nine groups per model (n = 10).

An 8-year-old girl fell onto her outstretched arm, sustaining proximal ulna and radial neck fractures. After closed reduction and casting in the emergency department, radiographs showed improved alignment but limited bony detail. A CT scan performed 3 days later demonstrated 18° apex-medial angulation of the radial neck, slight radiocapitellar subluxation, and subtle calcification near the trochlear notch, concerning intra-articular injury.

Introduction And Importance: Chest wall tumors are common and predominantly benign. Exceptionally, long-standing evolution over decades can lead to the development of giant tumors, posing substantial technical and strategic challenges in determining the optimal surgical approach.
Presentation Of Case: We report a rare case of a giant pedunculated chest wall lipoma that had been growing for over 40 years in a 73-year-old man.
