The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry

Check out the #youpickJPD #mostvoted article, "Comparison of the weight of conventionally heat-processed hollow and solid obturators and 3D printed hollow obturator" (https://lnkd.in/gJT5k8eX). #obturators close and seal open palatal defects to restore function, but their bulb design can be heavy and compromise prosthesis retention. Learn more from this study that compares the weight of hollow obturators manufactured by conventional heat processing vs. #3dprinting. The article is FREE to access for 1 month (no subscription needed).

#dentures produced by #digitaldentistry means like #CADCAM and #intraoralscanning have become an accepted alternative method for fabricating #removableprostheses. This #systematicreview from the latest issue of #theJPD examines the number of clinical and laboratory procedures alongside prosthetic complications when making #digitaldentures: https://lnkd.in/gPkX5w8Q

This #retrospectivestudy featured on the latest issue of #theJPD evaluates the survival of pressed #lithiumdisilicate – based, cantilever style, resin-bonded #fixeddentalprostheses replacing a missing anterior #tooth. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gJvYAABP

The latest issue of #theJPD highlights this article that assesses clinical outcomes like marginal adaptation, #gingivalhealth, #caries, and fracture when restoring #teeth that have undergone #rootcanaltherapy with different types of #tooth preparations for placement of monolithic #zirconia crowns.

Different types of #3dprinting additively build an object through different processing mechanisms that can affect the accuracy of the print. The latest issue of #theJPD features this study that compares the accuracy of the #3dprint, #surgicalguide seating, and guided osteotomy when a #3dprinted surgical guide is built by continuous liquid interface printing, #stereolithography, and #digitallightprocessing: https://lnkd.in/evMDD5bK

#maxillofacialprosthetics includes the rehabilitation of missing extraoral structures including ears. This article from the latest issue of #theJPD shows a series of cases showing how #digitaltechnology is incorporated to predictably fabricate #auricularprostheses as an alternative to surgical reconstruction: https://lnkd.in/gU5Y2j6u

#articulators that are interchangeable maintain the same positioning and orientation of casts even when mounted on different but calibrated articulators of the same system. This article from the latest issue of #theJPD evaluates the repositioning accuracy of new and used interchangeable articulators: https://lnkd.in/euZbyyD7

#intraoralscanning is an alternative way to record oral cavity structures like #tooth preparations. The latest issue of #theJPD features this #invitrostudy that compares the accuracy and precision of different #intraoralscanners when scanning at different distances and angulations. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eKT6jWVF

#dentalimplant #surgicalguide planning software requires #conebeamCT imaging to be merged with intraoral surface scans. This article from the latest issue of #theJPD compares the accuracy of aligning scans and #CBCTs with and without metallic artifacts when using point-based registration vs. best-fit registration vs. automatic registration methods: https://lnkd.in/gZZ5Sbp2
