Article Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) exams, whether chewing side preference (CSP) affects the anatomical parameters of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) of articular origin.

Methods: A total of 106 CBCT exams were analyzed, divided into 56 exams of volunteers without a diagnosis of TMD (Control Group) and 50 exams from individuals diagnosed with TMD of joint origin (Experimental Group). The following parameters were analyzed: the axial and paracoronal shapes of the condyles, the degree of translation and rotation of the condyles, the volume of the condyles, and the height and inclination of the articular tubercles. Generalized estimation equations (GEE) were employed, and a significance level of 5% was set.

Results: Only one significant interaction was observed between the two groups related to the axial shape of the condyle (p value < 0.001).

Conclusion: CSP did not influence the dynamic parameters of the TMJ in patients with TMD of articular origin.

Computed Tomography (CT) to Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) image registration is crucial for image-guided radiotherapy and surgical procedures. However, achieving accurate CT-CBCT registration remains challenging due to various factors such as inconsistent intensities, low contrast resolution and imaging artifacts. In this study, we propose a Context-Aware Semantics-driven Hierarchical Network (referred to as CASHNet), which hierarchically integrates context-aware semantics-encoded features into a coarse-to-fine registration scheme, to explicitly enhance semantic structural perception during progressive alignment.

Department of Medical Imaging, Central Laboratory of Jinan Stomatological Hospital, Jinan Key Laboratory of Oral Tissue Regeneration, Jinan, Shandong Province, China.

Abstract Rationale: Nonossifying fibroma (NOF) is one of the benign bone tumors in adolescents, and it rarely occurs in the jawbone. According to the site of onset, it is divided into the cortical type and the medullary type. Currently, there is no case report of medullary NOF in the mandible of the elderly.

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.

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.
