Abstract Background This study aimed to assess the accuracy of digital workflow for guided insertion miniscrews in anterior palate using restorative implant dentistry software and licensed orthodontic applications. Methods Twenty subjects (8 males, 12 females, mean age = 16.7 ± 2.1 years) were prospectively selected receive bicortical palatal miniscrews. Virtual planning was performed (Blue Sky Plan*, version 4.7) (group 1 10 subjects) (Dolphin Imaging Software, 11.0) 2 subjects). A specific...
Purpose: To describe a technique intended to transfer of the intermaxillary and occlusal relationships in fully digital environment from complete denture an implant-supported 3D-printed hybrid prosthesis (an acrylic resin fixed dental supported by implants). Methods: In edentulous cases, physiological mandibular position should be determined before immediate loading procedures. some use interim removable prostheses for few weeks could useful test new occlusion centric relation verify...
Background: Reverse engineering (RE) or back is a process that analyzes physical object to obtain the primary data of same project. RE technologies have different applications in industrial settings and productive chains; however, with advent digital dentistry orthodontic fields, they are involved new diagnostic clinical workflow. For example, 3D model scanning, facial models superimposition, setup, anatomical volumetric assessment, soft tissue analysis, guided systems, prototyped appliances...
To analyze implant and prosthetic survival rates, complications, patient satisfaction, biological parameters of patients rehabilitated with overdentures (IOV) on splinted nonsplinted implants different attachment systems, in function for one to 17 years.
Aim Digital technology has greatly improved its accuracy and precision in the last decade allowed for a complete digital workflow several dental applications. The present paper describes technique used by authors manufacturing of intraoral occlusal splints featuring workflow. Materials methods procedure includes an scan maxillary mandibular arches, registration vertical relationship, computer-assisted design (CAD) splint fabrication with multi-jet 3D printer. Conclusion presented allows...
The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate effectiveness elastodontic appliance (EAs) in treatment subjects presenting Class II sagittal discrepancy mixed dentition, and palatal morphological development during treatment.The group, composed 19 subjects, received with EA for 1 year. control group consisted 17 untreated subjects.age between 6 11 years, deciduous dentition skeletal and/or dental malocclusion.previous orthodontic therapy, systemic diseases signs temporal...
This case report describes the treatment of an adult female patient with a history periodontitis (Stage 3 -Grade B) and presenting significant crowding in both maxillary mandibular arches. After periodontal stabilization, underwent orthodontic clear aligners (CAT) for less than one year. CAT provided effective quantitative qualitative control forces applied to resolve malocclusion. provides detailed description clinical strategy features associated system which were considered ideal tools...
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) associated odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) show more aggressive behavior and it has a higher frequency of relapse than non-syndromic OKCs. Stromal myofibroblasts (MFs), characterized by α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA), desmin caldesmon expression, metalloproteinases (MMPs) have an essential role in the remodeling extracellular matrix (ECM). The aim study is to analyze immunohistochemical expression MMP-7, MMP-9, αSMA other new markers OKCs MFs such as...
Conformative rehabilitation generally involves the treatment of partial dentate or application veneers. In this regard, conformative aims to generate an aesthetic prosthetic solution minimizing amount tissue removal without generating occlusal input interfering with equilibrium neuro-muscular function. fact, pre-prosthetic orthodontics re-establishing correct position/inclination neighboring antagonist teeth, providing appropriate space for crown. Clear aligners therapy (CAT) represents a...
Background: Using three-dimensional (3D) images, this study evaluated the impact of Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) on changes in Nasal Septal Deviation (NSD). Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan 40 children with transverse maxillary deficiency, who received tooth-borne (TB) RME or bone-borne (BB) RME, were included investigation. Two CBCT scans performed: one before to appliance installation (T0) and after a 6-month retention period (T1). The analysis was performed by...
