Three-Dimensional Surgical Guides in Orthodontics: The Present and the Future

Dentistry Journal, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(2), P. 74 - 74

Published: Feb. 8, 2025

Surgical guides are integral tools in orthodontics, enhancing the precision and predictability of mini-implant placement. These facilitate accurate positioning, reduce risks to surrounding anatomical structures, ensure proper angulation depth during procedures. The aim present paper is a detailed review surgical used focusing on their classification, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, future developments. advantages, disadvantages, clinical steps, implications also described based data recent scientific literature. Future developments may incorporate artificial intelligence augmented reality, further optimizing treatment planning patient outcomes, thus solidifying role efficient orthodontic care.

The role of Artificial Intelligence in Intraoral Scanning for Complete-Arch Digital Impressions: An In Vitro Study

Journal of Dentistry, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 105717 - 105717

Published: March 1, 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into intraoral scanners (IOS) to improve the quality of digital impressions. However, information on accuracy AI-assisted virtual models limited. This study aimed evaluate effect AI, specifically its application in filling mesh defects, by evaluating impressions complete arches an vitro setting. Three types articulated maxillary and antagonist made from Type IV gypsum were used: intact model (Model 1), a with prepared teeth (FDI 13, 16) missing 14, 15) 2), 15, 17) 3). A total 120 scans obtained using IOS (3Shape Trios 5) 20 AI assistance (AI-ON) without (AI-OFF). The files compared reference generated desktop scanner E3) analyzed for reverse engineering metrology software (Geomagic Control X). While AI-OFF shows better trueness most relations, AI-ON improves precision demonstrates significant advantages accuracy, particularly arch distortion whole deviation measurements. that incorporating significantly scans, enhancing consistency reducing errors. Further studies are needed explore full potential across different clinical scenarios types. highlights role improving addressing contributing more precise workflows dentistry.

The Value of Mandibular Indices on Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Secondary Causes of Low Bone Mass

Journal of Clinical Medicine, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(16), P. 4854 - 4854

Published: Aug. 16, 2024

Background: As implant treatment cases increase, many of failure/side effects also occur. Generally, dental clinics determine the density jawbone using cone beam CT (CBCT). Considering known potential role this tool for bone assessment in primary osteoporosis, study evaluated patients with secondary endocrine causes low mass. Methods: The included 83 osteoporosis who were by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), trabecular score (TBS), and mental foramen (MF) region CBCT. following CBCT indices measured: anterior (A)—thickness inferior mandibular cortex 10 mm from MF; molar (M)—thickness posterior (P)—thickness 25 symphysis (S)—thickness equidistant centers right left MF. Results: highest correlation coefficient group was between A index lumbar BMD (r = 0.375, p 0.001) P femoral neck 0.38, 0.001). Hypercortisolism seems to be most predictable cause A, M, indices. showed predictive values micro-architecture that TBS score, statistically significant. does not significantly predict or impaired micro-architecture. Conclusions: These findings support usefulness CBCT-derived radiomorphometric underlining well-known these pathologies on rather than quantity.
