Time efficiency and cost analysis between digital and conventional workflows for the fabrication of fixed dental prostheses: A systematic review
Time and cost are factors that influence a patient ’s decision on dental prosthetic treatment. Evidence is needed to demonstrate that restoration using digital systems is more rapid and less costly than the conventional process. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Oral implant rehabilitation under general anesthesia for patients with cognitive and physical disabilities: A 14-year cohort study
Oral rehabilitation with implants is an alternative to the provision of removable dentures in all patients for whom missing teeth require replacement. However, individuals with cognitive, mental health issues, and/or physical disabilities are often excluded from implant-supported prostheses because of the high perceived risk of failure linked to poor oral health, presence of parafunction, or systemic conditions.

Convolutional neural network-based measurement of crown-implant ratio for implant-supported prostheses
Research has revealed that the crown-implant ratio (CIR) is a critical variable influencing the long-term stability of implant-supported prostheses in the oral cavity. Nevertheless, inefficient manual measurement and varied measurement methods have caused significant inconvenience in both clinical and scientific work. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

A combined 3D printed metal and resin digital denture: 5-year follow-up data and a creative design concept
Many denture frameworks are currently manufactured using metal 3-dimensional (3D) printing technology. However, this advanced technology is still limited to conventional denture designs. A metal 3D printing-based denture design concept was developed and is presented based on a nonwear occlusal surface, a nonfracture denture base, and a novel connection between metal and resin.

Influence of implant reference on the scanning accuracy of complete arch implant scans captured by using a photogrammetry system
Photogrammetry has been reported to be a reliable digital alternative for recording implant positions; however, the factors that may impact the accuracy of photogrammetry techniques remain unknown. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Trueness of artificial teeth for CAD-CAM complete dentures fabricated with additive manufacturing implementing different denture base-tooth offset values: An in vitro study
Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) removable dentures have become popular. However, evaluations of the effect of denture base-tooth offset (DTO) values on the trueness of artificial teeth are lacking. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Staining and bleaching susceptibility of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramics with different thicknesses, translucencies, and fabrication methods
The influence of different thicknesses, translucencies, and fabrication methods on the spectrophotometric and topographical properties of zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramics (ZLSs) for dental restorations remains unclear. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Digital workflow to measure the mandibular range of motion using different jaw tracking technologies
The analysis of the mandibular range of motion (ROM) includes the evaluation of maximum opening, deviation upon opening, and amplitude of the left and right excursive movements and protrusion. Conventionally, ROM assessment has been directly measured in the patient ’s mouth by using a ROM ruler. The development of jaw tracking systems, such as magnetometry and photometric devices, allows the digital assessment of the mandibular ROM. The present manuscript describes the clinical protocols for recording and measuring the mandibular ROM by using different jaw t racking systems. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Photography or videography? A paradigm shift in dental clinical documentation
Clinical documentation is critical in dental practices. Its influence reaches beyond diagnosis and treatment planning to patient education and evidence-based research. Historically, this documentation has relied mainly on photographic recordings. However, in the present era of rapid technical breakthroughs, a paradigm shift has occurred from photography to videography, driven by the transition from digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras to mirrorless systems, which provide improved video capabilities.

Integrating the repeatable reference position and excursive movements of the mandible acquired using a jaw tracker into the design procedures of an occlusal device: A technique
Jaw tracking systems can record mandibular movement such as the repeatable reference position and excursive movements of the mandible. A technique for integrating the recorded repeatable reference position of the mandible and excursive movements captured using an optical jaw tracking system into the design procedures of an occlusal device is described. The mandibular motion of the patient is directly used to design the occlusal device, replacing the virtual articulator. The described technique aims to reduce the delivery time by incorporating the recorded motion of the patient into the virtual design of the occlusal device...

Positioning appliance for an implant-retained prosthesis for a patient with surgically and radiation-induced microstomia: A clinical report
When treating a patient with microstomia, prosthesis design can become challenging and often requires modifications. The patient ’s ability to insert and remove the appliance may also be a problem. This clinical report describes the fabrication of a positioning appliance for a patient with microstomia. The appliance used the maxillary teeth as a guide to orient the prosthesis appropriately and engage the mandibular LOCATOR abutments. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)
