Digital protocol for creating a virtual gingiva adjacent to teeth with subgingival dental preparations.
Abstract Purpose This article describes a digital technique used to record gingival emergence profiles modeled for the prosthetic restoration of teeth prepared using biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT). Materials and methods The description of the technique of intraoral recording, manipulation of digital files, and chairside protocol of prosthetic restorations is developed in the present manuscript on two anterior teeth treated with vertical and subgingival dental preparations for restoration with ceramic crowns. The manipulation of the digital files registered with an intraoral scanner with software that allows its alignment (best-fit) and the performance boolean of operatio…
Influence of Drilling Technique on the Radiographic, Thermographic, and Geomorphometric Effects of Dental Implant Drills and Osteotomy Site Preparations
The aim of this comparative study is to analyze the influence of drilling technique on the radiographic, thermographic, and geomorphometric effects of dental implant drills and osteotomy site preparations. One hundred and twenty osteotomy site preparations were performed on sixty epoxy resin samples using three unused dental implant drill systems and four drilling techniques performed with a random distribution into the following study groups: Group A: drilling technique performed at 800 rpm with irrigation (n = 30)
Facial scanning accuracy depending on the alignment algorithm and digitized surface area location: An in vitro study.
To measure the accuracy (trueness and precision) of a facial scanner depending on the alignment method and the digitized surface area location.Fourteen markers were adhered on a head mannequin and digitized using an industrial scanner (GOM Atos Q 3D 12 M; Carl Zeiss Industrielle Messtechnik GmbH). A control mesh was acquired. Subsequently, the mannequin was digitized using a facial scanner (Arc4; Bellus3D) (n = 30). The control mesh was delineated into 10 areas. Based on the alignment procedures, two groups were created: reference best fit (RBF group) and landmark-based best fit (LA group). The root mean square was used to calculate the discrepancy between the control mesh and each facial s…
A novel, fully digital approach to quantifying volume gain after soft tissue graft surgery. A pilot study
Objective Measuring soft tissue thickness after mucogingival surgery has traditionally been performed by means of a calibrated transgingival probe. The main aim of this study was to apply a non-invasive technique based on digital images formatted as Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files to quantify soft tissue volume after connective tissue grafting. Clinical innovation report Ten patients who presented Cairo Class I gingival recession were selected for connective tissue grafting using the tunnel technique. In all patients, the initial position of the gingiva and quantity of keratinized tissue were recorded, and gingival recession was scanned with an intra-oral scanner. Six months afte…
Novel Digital Technique to Quantify the Area and Volume of Cement Remaining and Enamel Removed after Fixed Multibracket Appliance Therapy Debonding: An In Vitro Study
The aim of this study was to construct a novel, repeatable, reproducible, and accurate measurement protocol for the area and volume of the remaining cement after removal of fixed multibracket appliances, the area and volume of remaining cement after cement removal, the area and volume of enamel removed after cement removal, and the volume of cement used to adhere fixed multibracket appliances. A total of 30 brackets were cemented and removed with over 30 extracted teeth embedded into three experimental models of epoxy resin. The models were scanned before and after bracket placement, bracket debonding, and polishing the remaining cement. The brackets were submitted to micro-computed tomogra…
Influencia de la superficie de alineado del cuerpo de escaneado en la determinación de la posición tridimensional del implante. Estudio in vitro
INTRODUCCIÓN Para la correcta captación digital de la posición del implante se utilizan unos aditamentos denominados cuerpos de escaneado. Estos tienen morfologías diversas. Los cuerpos de escaneado deben codificar el eje axial del implante, la posición del plano de conexión, así como la presencia y localización del plano anti rotatorio del implante. La cantidad de cuerpo de escaneado visible y que por tanto influye en el alineado tridimensional no ha sido suficientemente estudiada. OBJETIVOS 1.Analizar la influencia de la superficie de alineado del cuerpo de escaneado en la determinación del eje y del centro del implante para muestras diseñadas con fines de posicionamiento rotatorio y anti…
