The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy surgical guides manufactured with four different 3D printers..
Background/Objectives: Rectangular collimation (RC) reduces patient radiation exposure but is uncommonly used due to cone-cut concerns. An audit at a dental practice was conducted analyze impact of RC on the quality intraoral radiographs. Methods: Four X-ray tubes with were used. 360 X-rays collected, blinded and scored pre-set qualitative criteria: maximum 14 points for bitewing radiographs (BWs), 13 periapical (PAs). Quality assessed. Results: We found that 48.1% acceptable, 32.5%...
To evaluate the effectiveness of intraoral scanning with identical multiple implant scan bodies (ISB) using customized over body rings (COR) as an auxiliary system.Six printed different diameters and shapes were attached at levels to each ISB edentulous mandibular master model. The model was scanned scanner (Primescan CEREC) until valid digital models for COR group (n=10) unmodified (UN) obtained. total times number rescans required registered. assess differences between efficiency Student...
The present paper presents clinical guidelines for the selection of abutment material and level customization single-implant reconstructions. A systematic literature search was conducted previous to a Consensus Conference, resulting in two reviews. One review focused on esthetic outcomes, including indices linear measurements, second peri-implant soft tissue color evaluated with spectrophotometry. outcomes indexes measurement were highly heterogenic, hence, meta-analysis not feasible....
To evaluate whether abutment surface and bio-activation have an effect on soft tissue morphogenesis.36 patients (36 implants) were included. Abutments randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 9): Smooth Surface-MAChined (MAC), Ultrathin Threaded Microsurface (UTM), MAC Plasma of Argon activated (Plasma-MAC), UTM (Plasma-UTM). After 2 months healing, samples collected prepared for histological analysis. The margin the peri-implant mucosa (PM), apical extension barrier epithelium (aJE), location...
To evaluate the effect of age and intra-oral scanner (IOS) on learning curve inexperienced operators.Thirty-four operators pertaining to 1 3 groups: (G1) students ≤ 25 years (y), (G2) dentists ≥ 40y, (G3) a control group experienced IOS (no limitation), were included. All participants performed baseline final quadrant scans volunteer subject, before after training program sessions, with two different IOS: TRIOS (S1) True Definition (S2). Baseline scanning times registered in seconds. A...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effect of operator age on scan accuracy (trueness and precision) inexperienced operators when compared with experienced operators, how training, intraoral scanner (IOS), software version affect accuracy. Material Methods Thirty‐four were sorted into groups: G1 (operators <25 years old, no experience), G2 >40 G3 (experienced IOS operators). They conducted partial‐arch scans before after a 4‐session training two IOSs (Trios 3 True Definition) versions....
Abstract Aim This study aimed to investigate the influence of titanium base (ti‐base) abutment macro‐ and micro‐geometry on mechanical stability polymer‐infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) screw‐retained implant‐supported single crowns (iSCs). Materials Methods Twelve specimens per group were used, comprising six different implant/ti‐base combinations restored with PICN iSCs: Nb‐T (gingival height [GH]: 1.5 mm, prosthetic [PH]: 4.3 mm), CC (GH: 0.8 PH: CC‐P 7 Nb‐V 6 St 5.5 Th 0.5 9 mm). The...
To investigate the influence of a novel scanning strategy-using two new intraoral scanner devices with different operators-on full-arch accuracy for dentate maxilla.Two strategies, test and control strategy, were used to produce impressions maxilla study patient. Two (IOS) used. Five expert operators performed total 40 scans. The scan time was recorded each. A reference model obtained from patient's maxillary arch an analog impression. later scanned high-precision laboratory create digital...
