Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to investigate the accuracy of computer-guided surgery with a long drill key to place implants in the mandibular posterior regions. Material and methods: Computer-guided implant surgery was performed for 15 participants requiring implants in mandibular posterior region. This procedure involved using 6mm long drill key to guide the 2.0 mm diameter drill. The planned and placed implant position were scanned and superimposed to evaluate the accuracy of the guide. Results: A total of 15 implants were place where the mean linear deviation was 0.4 mm (range, 0.15 to 1.30 mm) for the implant shoulder and 0.45 mm (range, 0 to 1.48 mm) for the implant apex. The mean angular deviation was 1.4 degrees (0.38 to 4.89 degrees). The mean depth deviation was 0.61 mm (0.10 to 1.85 mm). The differences...

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) uses a variation of this x-ray imaging technique, but at a much lower radiation dosage than conventional medical CT’s. CBCT is a tomographic scanning technology that can scan and acquire a specified volume of the patient’s head and generate a 3D data set at much lower radiation doses than their medical CT counterparts. This article presents a review of the clinical applications of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in different dental disciplines. CBCT is used in different dental disciplines for numerous clinical applications. The results of this systematic review show the different applications of CBCT imaging in dental practice, which are summarized and categorized under different dental disciplines.

Shade selection is done intraorally with the help of shade tabs and thus contamination with saliva must be assumed. Therefore, shade tabs must be disinfected after each use. The procedure of subjecting the shade tabs in various disinfectants has been suggested to cause a change in the colour of individual shade tab, resulting in compromised shade matching procedures and contribute to the dissatisfaction of clinicians, technicians, and patients. Hence, this study aims at identifying the effect of four commercially available surface disinfectants: sodium hypochlorite (5.2%) and gluteraldehyde (2%), chlorhexidine gluconate (2%), isopropyl alcohol (70%).disinfectants on the colour of shade tabs of two different ceramic shade guides (Vitapan Classic and Ivoclar Chromascop).

Therefore, many studies lay emphasis on accurate marginal fit of the crowns. It has been the focus of various investigations in literature. However, there is limited literature comparing marginal accuracy CAD/CAM zirconia, Pressable Lithium Disilicate, CAD/CAM Cobalt-Chromium and Direct Metal Laser Sintered (DMLS) copings. Aim: Verification and comparative evaluation of the vertical marginal adaptation of CAD/CAM Zirconia, Pressable lithium Disilicate, CAD/CAM Cobalt-Chromium and DMLS copings. Materials and Methods: This invitro study was planned with an aim to evaluate the vertical marginal adaptation of CAD/CAM Zirconia, Pressable Lithium Disilicate, CAD/CAM Cobalt-Chromium and DMLS copings. A custom- made metal master model was prepared simulating the shape and dimension of tooth preparation resemb...

As implants are directly anchored into bones, they provide stability, a more natural appearance, and minimize the risk of bone resorption and atrophy. Diabetes mellitus is classified as a risk factor for implant treatment, and severe or poorly controlled diabetes mellitus has been suggested to be a contraindication for treatment with dental implants. Diabetic patients experience delayed wound healing, which affects the osseointegration process. Diabetes mellitus may impair bone healing after dental implant placement. As a result of that, failure rate of dental implant in diabetic patients is much higher than that in non-diabetic patients. Some studies show that individuals with well-controlled diabetes have implant survival rates similar to those of controls without diabetes. This article presents various aspects of diabetes and its effects on osseointegration and implant success.
