The objective of the present study was to determine the 3-year clinical and dimensional soft tissue change following implant placement in healed sites before and after loading with either customized or conventional healing abutments. Premolar/molar implants were immediately loaded with either provisional and customized abutments without finishing l...

The objective of the present article is to demonstrate the digital workflow used to manufacture an adjusted oral splint in a patient case. A 25-year-old female patient presented for management of her bruxism. Therefore, an adjusted oral splint was manufactured. A computer-aided motion analysis of the patient was conducted (JMA Optic). Full-arch sca...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of using different materials for the fabrication of implant abutments and crowns on the mechanical behavior of implant-supported single crowns after artificial aging. The materials were tested in different combinations to reveal whether using stiff or resilient materials as an abutmen...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the segmentation accuracy of the dentition by testing four open-source semi-automatic software programs. Twenty CBCT scans were selected to perform semi-automatic segmentation of the maxillary and mandibular dentition. The software programs tested were InVesalius, ITK-SNAP, 3D Slicer, and Seg3D. In addit...

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems are used in dentistry to ensure a more accurate and efficient diagnostic process. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance of a deep learning (DL) program for the detection and classification of dental structures and treatments on panoramic radiographs of pediatric patients. In to...

Condylar hyperplasia (CH) is a progressive and deforming disease that modifies anatomy of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) structures. This study aims to correlate the metabolic bone activity of the condyle measured by SPECT with the volumetry anatomic information from the condyle, fossa and joint space provided by CT images, in patients with CH i...

The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of automated detection of preparation finish lines in teeth with defective margins. An extracted first molar was prepared for a full veneer crown, and marginal defects were created and scanned (discontinuity of finish line: 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm; additional line angle: connected, partially connected, ...

Pronounced defects of the dental hard tissue can be caused by different etiologic factors. Most frequently, they are associated with changes in the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), which may also influence the condylar positions. These defects can lead to irreversible loss of tooth structure and have dramatic functional and esthetic consequen...

To develop a deep learning (DL) artificial intelligence (AI) model for instance segmentation and tooth numbering on orthopantomograms (OPGs). Forty OPGs were manually annotated to lay down the ground truth for training two convolutional neural networks (CNNs): U-net and Faster RCNN. These algorithms were concurrently trained and validated on a data...
