Comparison of trueness and repeatability of facial prosthesis design using a 3D morphable model approach, traditional computer-aided design methods, and conventional manual sculpting techniques
Manually sculpting a wax pattern of a facial prosthesis is a time-, skill-, and resource-intensive process. Computer-aided design (CAD) methods have been proposed as a substitute for manual sculpting, but these techniques can still require high technical or artistic abilities. Three-dimensional morphable models (3DMMs) could semi-automate facial prosthesis CAD. Systematic comparisons of different design approaches are needed. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

The 4D virtual patient: A proof of concept in digital dentistry
This dental technique article updates the 3-dimensional (3D) virtual patient digital workflow by introducing the space-time information acquired with jaw tracking motion. The direct digital procedure involved scanning the interim prostheses, creating virtual casts, and transferring the digital facebow, virtual articulation, and jaw-tracking motion. All 3D files and records from the intraoral scanner, cone beam computed tomography, extraoral scanner, and jaw tracking motion were superimposed using existing teeth as the connecting link in all data sets and adopting the best-fit alignment.

Need for orthognathic surgery in cleft patients from Northern Finland
CONCLUSIONS: The need for orthognathic surgery was greater in the cleft lip palate and cleft palate patient groups compared to cleft lip alveolus or cleft lip groups. This study also found that males from Northern Finland need surgery more often than females.PMID:38605577 | DOI:10.2340/aos.v83.40338 (Source: Acta Odontologica Scandinavica)

Dissociative identity disorder in the dental setting: An assessment of the literature and case report
AbstractThere is an ever-increasing chance that dentists are likely to experience patients who need additional management for psychiatric disorders. Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is characterised by the presence of two or more distinct personality states or identity fragments that control an individual's behaviour, thoughts and emotions. The aim is to offer additional insights into patients with DID and their management within a dental care setting. This will be demonstrated through the use of a case report as a practical illustration. In order to gain insight into the effects of DID on healthcare, particularly with...
