Sorrentino R, Ruggiero G, Leone R, Cagidiaco EF, Mauro MID, Ferrari M, Zarone F. Trueness and precision of an intraoral scanner on abutments with subgingival vertical margins: An in vitro study. J Dent 2024; 144:104943. [PMID: 38494043 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.104943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of an intraoral scanner (IOS - Medit i700) on tooth abutments with vertical preparations at 2 depths below the free gingival margin, and to determine if the IOS can reproduce the area beyond the finish surface of the tested preparation geometry. METHODS Two abutments for a maxillary first molar were designed by means of CAD software, with vertical preparations set at 1 and 2 mm below the gingiva. These abutments were subsequently printed in resin and placed on a reference model. The reference files consisted of scans made using a metrological machine on these abutments. Ten scans were made with the tested IOS on each sample, resulting in two study groups. The scans from the experimental groups were labeled "V-1″ for vertical preparation at 1 mm below the gingival margin and "V-2″ for 2 mm below. The analysis of these scans was performed using Geomagic Control X (3D SYSTEMS) to assess their trueness and precision in µm. Descriptive statistics with a 95 % confidence interval were employed, alongside independent sample tests, to ascertain any differences between the groups (α=0.05). RESULTS Statistically significant differences were not found both for trueness (p=.104) and precision (p=.409), between the tested geometries. The mean values for trueness were V-1 = 37.5[31.4-43.6]; V-2 = 32.6[30.6-34.6]. About the precision, the mean values were V-1 = 20.5[8.4-32.5]; V-2 = 18.4[8.2-28.5]. In both the study groups, it was possible to detect the surface beyond the finish area. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, vertical preparation design allows for registration of the tooth anatomy beyond the finish area with IOS. Moreover, the mean accuracy values were clinically acceptable at both 1 and 2 mm below the gingival margin.

Influence of Trabecular Geometry on Scaffold Mechanical Behavior and MG-63 Cell Viability. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:2342. [PMID: 36984222 PMCID: PMC10056383 DOI: 10.3390/ma16062342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
In a scaffold-based approach for bone tissue regeneration, the control over morphometry allows for balancing scaffold biomechanical performances. In this experimental work, trabecular geometry was obtained by a generative design process, and scaffolds were manufactured by vat photopolymerization with 60% (P60), 70% (P70) and 80% (P80) total porosity. The mechanical and biological performances of the produced scaffolds were investigated, and the results were correlated with morphometric parameters, aiming to investigate the influence of trabecular geometry on the elastic modulus, the ultimate compressive strength of scaffolds and MG-63 human osteosarcoma cell viability. The results showed that P60 trabecular geometry allows for matching the mechanical requirements of human mandibular trabecular bone. From the statistical analysis, a general trend can be inferred, suggesting strut thickness, the degree of anisotropy, connectivity density and specific surface as the main morphometric parameters influencing the biomechanical behavior of trabecular scaffolds, in the perspective of tissue engineering applications.

Valenti M, Valenti A, Cortellini D, Schmitz JH, Canale A. A modified scan technique for multiple abutment teeth using the trim and lock function. J Dent 2023; 129:104406. [PMID: 36566830 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2022.104406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe a new protocol for digital scanning of multiple abutment teeth using the trim and lock software tools. METHODS A reverse workflow technique was used. Scanning was performed with the interim restoration in position. The abutment teeth were then trimmed from the scan. The retraction cord or interim restoration from either the first mesial or distal abutment tooth was removed and only that tooth was scanned, allowing the dentist to easily manage gingival displacement and keep the tooth dry from crevicular fluid and saliva. Consequently, the preparation margin remained visible and uncontaminated during the scan. The adjacent abutment teeth detected in the scan were deleted from it, and the scan was then locked using a tool of the scanning software. Next, the retraction cord or interim restoration of the next abutment tooth was removed, and only that tooth was scanned. The procedure was repeated until all prepared teeth were individually scanned. RESULTS The technique presented here facilitated the scanning of multiple abutment teeth in a simple and predictable way by utilizing the trim and lock surface tools of the scanning software and helped in avoiding closure of the gingival crevice. CONCLUSIONS Splitting the scan for a complex case with multiple abutment teeth allows reliable 3D acquisition of the finish line of each abutment tooth. Therefore, this technique simplifies the full-arch intraoral scanning process and can improve treatment efficiency. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The trim and lock tool allows scanning of each prepared abutment tooth separately, transforming a full-arch impression into multiple single scans. This technique helps to easily manage gingival displacement and maintain an uncontaminated and dry preparation margin during the scan.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 13:E1982. [PMID: 32340384 PMCID: PMC7215909 DOI: 10.3390/ma13081982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2020] [Revised: 04/14/2020] [Accepted: 04/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The advent of new technologies in the field of medicine and dentistry is giving improvements that lead the clinicians to have materials and procedures able to improve patients' quality of life. In dentistry, the last digital techniques offer a fully digital computerized workflow that does not include the standard multiple traditional phases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate all clinical trials and clinical randomized trials related to the digital or dental impression technique in prosthetic dentistry trying to give the readers global information about advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. Data collection was conducted in the main scientific search engines, including articles from the last 10 years, in order to obtain results that do not concern obsolete impression techniques. Elsevier, Pubmed and Embase have been screened as sources for performing the research. The results data demonstrated how the working time appears to be improved with digital workflow, but without a significant result (P = 0.72596). The papers have been selected following the Population Intervention Comparison Outcome (PICO) question, which is related to the progress on dental impression materials and technique. The comparison between dentists or practitioners with respect to classic impression procedures, and students open to new device and digital techniques seem to be the key factor on the final impression technique choice. Surely, digital techniques will end up supplanting the analogical ones altogether, improving the quality of oral rehabilitations, the economics of dental practice and also the perception by our patients.
