A single procedure for the registration of maxillo-mandibular relationships and alignment of intraoral scans of edentulous maxillary and mandibular arches
ConclusionsMaking and aligning, in a single procedure, intraoral scans of the edentulous arches and occlusion rims incorporating maxillo-mandibular relationships and information for tooth arrangement, allow to proceed directly with the denture design, thus, being sensible from the treatment time efficiency point of view. The technique is applicable to both partial and complete edentulous maxillary and mandibular arches. Nonetheless, care should be taken in stabilizing occlusion rims, whose shape is characterized by a reduction in size of the baseplates. In addition, its accuracy in comparison with the current clinical best...

Wear of resin denture teeth in partial removable dental prostheses
ConclusionsResin denture teeth in partial removable and complete dental prostheses are subjected to clinically important occlusal wear that might destabilize occlusion and cause further problems. Patient-related factors and dental status affect wear behavior and should be taken into consideration when treating patients with removable dentures. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Validity of single-channel masseteric electromyography by using an ultraminiature wearable electromyographic device for diagnosis of sleep bruxism
ConclusionsThe results suggested that single-channel EMG is valid for diagnosis of SB if a cut-off value that is appropriate for single-channel EMG is used. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Full arch digital scanning systems performances for implant-supported fixed dental prostheses: a comparative study of 8 intraoral scanners
ConclusionsNot all scanners are suitable for digital impression in full-arch implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis and the weight of the output files is independent from the accuracy of the Ios. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Reproducibility of intraoral photography for pink and white tissue assessment — Is it worth the hassle?
ConclusionsDeviations in the shooting angle ≤10° from the baseline shot cause clinically negligible distortions in linear and planimetric measurements. Highly comparable intraoral photographs of the anterior maxillary teeth can be captured “free-hand” in slightly varying perspective, and then selecting the “best-match-to-baseline”.

Masticatory function in complete denture wearers varying degree of mandibular bone resorption and occlusion concept: canine-guided occlusion versus bilateral balanced occlusion in a cross-over trial
ConclusionsCG represents a viable alternative to the BBO in complete dentures with satisfactory clinical results related to the self-perception of chewing and occlusal force. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)

Periodontal and prosthetic outcomes on teeth prepared with biologically oriented preparation technique: a 4-year follow-up prospective clinical study
ConclusionsRestorations placed on teeth prepared using BOPT present good periodontal behavior, increase of gingival thickening, and marginal stability over a 4-year follow-up. High survival rates after 4 years show that the technique produces predictable outcomes.Clinical significanceThe BOPT technique is a good treatment option in cases where replacement of an old restoration is required; presenting good periodontal behavior, gingival thickening, and marginal stability.

Evaluation of the trueness and precision of eight extraoral laboratory scanners with a complete-arch model: a three-dimensional analysis
ConclusionsThe systems that had the best combination of trueness and precision for complete-arch scanning were D2000 and NeWay. Scanners using blue-light showed more accurate results than the white-light and laser scanners. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontic Research)
