With recent technological advancements, manufacturing methods in dentistry have undergone significant transformations. Digital methods are now preferred over traditional techniques. Subtractive manufacturing involves obtaining the desired form by milling the material from a block through computer programs. This process is time-consuming, and due to the generation of a considerable amount of waste material compared to the desired product, it is cost-intensive. On the other hand, additive manufact...

Three resins were tested: Evolux PMMA (milled resin), Cosmos Temp (3D-printed resin) and Structure 2 SC (bis-acrylic resin, as a control). Specimens were prepared in a disc shape (n = 9) and the Vickers hardness was measured under a load of 20 N for 10 s at two time points: 24h and 60 days after storage in distilled water at 37 ℃ in an incubator. The data were analysed using the Shapiro-Wilk test followed by the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test (p < 0.05)....

The 7 essential elements for successful single immediate implant placement with TERUPLUG®collagen include 1 treatment-planning, 4 surgical, and 2 prosthetic keys, aiming to minimize soft- and hard-tissue complications for an optimal implant restoration both in the anterior and the posterior zone. All those keys are summarized to aid clinicians in the treatment planning of immediate implant placement cases....
