A digital approach to fabricating a custom holder for the attachment of a mandibular sensor of an optical jaw motion tracking system: A dental technique
A digital approach to fabricating a custom holder to attach a mandibular sensor of an optical jaw motion tracking system is described. Typically, jaw motion tracking systems come with standard holders. However, additional chairside time is still required to adapt the holder's arm to the individual arch and securely attach the holder to the mandibular teeth. Moreover, the placement of the standard holder is problematic in patients with a deep vertical overlap or with short clinical crowns. This technique offers a digital approach to designing and fabricating a custom holder in situations where standard holders cannot be eff...

Fully digital workflow of an occlusal device including digital facebow record: A clinical report
In many current digital workflows for the production of occlusal devices and dentures, the traditional facebow record for the individual determination of the hinge axis has been omitted. A novel digital facebow record procedure including a scannable occlusal fork is described as a straightforward to use, cost-effective, and less time-consuming alternative to close this gap in fully digital prosthetic workflows.

Effect of phosphoric acid containing polyvinylpyrrolidone as protective etchant for dentin bonding
Phosphoric acid is commonly used in dentistry as an etchant but can result in excessive demineralization of dentin, a major contributor to the instability of dentin-bonded restorations. Nevertheless, research on the development of etchants that can reduce acid damage is sparse. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Evaluation of two printing techniques for maxillary removable partial denture frameworks
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has gained popularity in producing removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks, including direct 3D printing of the metal framework and framework printing using castable resin, subsequently cast and processed. However, whether the technology is sufficiently accurate and precise to supersede traditional methods is unclear. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)
