A dental technique to reseat an angled nonhexagon multiunit abutment in a complete arch fixed prosthesis
When an angled abutment lacking an antirotation structure within a complete arch implant- supported fixed prosthesis becomes loose, the conventional approach typically involves replacing the entire prosthesis because of the difficulty of reseating the abutment at its original angle. To address this predicament, this technique article describes a novel solution in the form of a resin verification guide that replicates the maxillary prosthesis. The modified cylinder enables tightening of the abutment screw of the reseated multiunit abutment in place, eliminating the need for replacing the prosthesis and reducing treatment co...

Implementing an optical jaw tracking system to locate centric occlusion: A dental technique
Optical jaw tracking systems are designed to record the static maxillomandibular relationship and the mandibular motion of a patient, including excursive movements and mastication pattern. This digital data acquisition technology can be integrated into diagnostic and treatment planning procedures, as well as into designing dental prostheses. A step-by-step protocol to record a patient ’s digital data, including the repeatable reference position of the jaw or centric relation, by using an intraoral scanner, Kois deprogrammer, and optical jaw tracking system is described.

Computer guided root tip extraction and implant placement: A clinical report
Extraction of a residual root tip and implant placement can be challenging because of the complexity and invasiveness of the procedure. Improvised application of a guided implant surgery may avoid such challenges. This clinical report presents an innovative technique combining a 3-dimensionally printed surgical guide with conventional instrumentation for a residual root tip extraction in a minimally invasive and predictable way.

Letter to the Editor regarding “Semiautomated fabrication of a custom orbital prosthesis with 3-dimensional printing technology” by Kim S-H et al.
The article "Semiautomated fabrication of a custom orbital prosthesis with 3-dimensional printing technology" by So-Hyun Kim et al1 was an engaging read. It is remarkable to have developed a fully digital technique for custom orbital prosthesis fabrication. We are grateful for the authors' exceptional work in developing such a technique. However, I have a few concerns regarding this technique. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Effect of in vivo aging on the surface and electrochemical properties of magnetic attachments used in facial prostheses: A retrieval analysis study
Reasons associated with the failure of facial prosthesis are of major concern and may be associated with deterioration of both elastomeric materials and magnetic attachments. However, the extent of deterioration of these components is unclear. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Retrieval of cement-retained zirconia implant-supported crowns with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser
Cement-retained implant-supported crowns can be challenging to retrieve from the abutment once technical or biological issues arise. Removal traditionally requires sectioning the crown with rotary instruments, which causes irreversible damage to the crown and potential damage to the periodontal apparatus stabilizing the implant.

Effect of surface finish and resin cement on the bond strength to CAD-CAM ceramics for interim resin-bonded prostheses
Resin-bonded prostheses, including interim resin-bonded prostheses, are effective in preserving tooth structure compared with other types of fixed dental prostheses for the replacement of missing teeth. However, loss of retention remains a notable concern with these types of prostheses. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

In vitro comparative study between complete arch conventional implant impressions and digital implant scans with scannable pick-up impression copings
Intraoral digital scan techniques have been widely used and sufficient evidence supports this technique in partially edentulous patients. However, the evidence supporting the use of intraoral scanners (IOSs) for edentulous patients is limited. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Evaluation of accuracy of deep learning and conventional neural network algorithms in detection of dental implant type using intraoral radiographic images: A systematic review and meta-analysis
With the growing importance of implant brand detection in clinical practice, the accuracy of machine learning algorithms in implant brand detection has become a subject of research interest. Recent studies have shown promising results for the use of machine learning in implant brand detection. However, despite these promising findings, a comprehensive evaluation of the accuracy of machine learning in implant brand detection is needed. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)
