Statement of problem
The absence of a tooth in the esthetic zone can cause emotional and social distress. The use of minimally invasive and visually pleasing lithium disilicate resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) may be a suitable option for replacing a missing maxillary incisor. However, the available literature on lithium disilicate cantilever RBFDPs is limited.
Purpose
This retrospective multicenter study assessed the survival and success rates of lithium disilicate anterior cantilever RBFDPs with an average follow-up period of 3 years up to 9 years.
Material and methods
RBFDPs delivered by 3 operators were clinically assessed for survival using a modified United States Public Health Service criteria list. The incidence density was determined for each criterion and operator. The standard error and 95% confidence interval were calculated for each incidence density difference (α=.05 for all analyses).
Results
A total of 108 RBFDPs were evaluated after a mean period of 32.45 months, ranging from 14 days to 111 months. None of the restorations exhibited failure, carious lesions, or fractures during the follow-up period. The primary reasons for reduced success rates were inflammation of the surrounding soft tissues and discoloration, with incidence densities of 0.074 and 0.057 per year, respectively. Significant differences were observed among RBFDPs from different operators for criteria that included adaptation, color match, marginal adaptation, polishability, surface staining, gingival health, and antagonist wear.
Conclusions
Cantilever lithium disilicate RBFDPs appear to be suitable for short-term restoration. RBFDPs exhibited visible changes after short-term follow-up. However, these changes did not result in failure.

Zirconia abutments have become popular as they provide favorable esthetic outcomes. However, studies investigating how abutment material affects abutment screw torque performance and implant conical surface morphological changes in internal conical connection systems are scarce.
Purpose
The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of abutment material on abutment removal torque and implant conical surface morphological changes in internal conical connection implant–abutment assemblies of 2 diameters after simulated long-term oral use.
Material and methods
Thirty abutments of 3 materials (1-piece titanium, 1-piece zirconia, zirconia with alloy base) and 2 diameters (regular, narrow) made by the original manufacturer were connected to internal conical connection implants and subjected to a standardized artificial aging process consisting of thermal cycling and mechanical cyclic loading with parameters corresponding to anterior and posterior mastication scenarios simulating long-term oral use. An abutment removal torque test was done before and after aging. Morphological changes in the implant conical contact surface were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Initial and after-aging torque loss values were calculated and analyzed separately with 1-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post hoc tests (α=.05).
Results
All specimens survived artificial aging. For initial and after-aging torque loss, the 1-piece zirconia groups showed significantly greater values (P<.001) for both diameters. In the SEM observation, the 1-piece zirconia groups showed distinct widespread surface damage while the other groups exhibited only minor damages.
Conclusions
Regardless of diameter, 1-piece zirconia abutments tend to induce more abutment removal torque loss and implant conical surface morphological changes than those with metal connections, both initially and after simulated long-term oral use. Zirconia abutments with an alloy base performed similarly to 1-piece titanium abutments.

Statement of problem
Prosthetic rehabilitation with an obturator can help to restore or improve the intelligibility of speech in patients after maxillectomy. The frequency of formants 1 and 2 as well as their ranges were initially reported in patients with maxillary defects in 2002, and the evaluation method that was used is now applied in clinical evaluation. However, the details of formant 3 are not known and warrant investigation because, according to speech science, formant 3 is related to the pharyngeal volume. Clarifying the formant frequency values of formant 3 in patients after maxillectomy would enable prosthodontists to refer to these data when planning treatment and when assessing the outcome of an obturator.
Purpose
The purpose of this clinical study was to determine the acoustic characteristics of formant 3, together with those of formants 1 and 2, by using a digital acoustic analysis during maxillofacial prosthetic treatment. The utility of determining formant 3 in the evaluation of speech in patients after maxillectomy was also evaluated.
Material and methods
Twenty-six male participants after a maxillectomy (mean age, 63 years; range, 20 to 93 years) were included, and the 5 Japanese vowels /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/ produced with and without a definitive obturator prosthesis were recorded. The frequencies of the 3 formants were determined, and their ranges were calculated by using a speech analysis system (Computerized Speech Lab CSL 4400). The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare the formants between the 2 use conditions (α=0.05).
Results
Significant differences were found in the frequencies and ranges of all 3 formants between the use conditions. The ranges of all 3 formants produced with the prosthesis were significantly greater than those produced without it.
Conclusions
Based on the findings, both the first 2 formants and the third formant were changed by wearing an obturator prosthesis. Because formant 3 is related to the volume of the pharynx, evaluation of this formant and its range can reflect the effectiveness of the prosthesis to seal the oronasal communication and help reduce hypernasality, suggesting the utility of formant 3 analysis in prosthodontic rehabilitation.

When surgery is performed to remove aggressive cancer, the extent of the lesion commands the amount of tissue removed. The removal of extensive tissue such as crucial landmarks complicates prosthesis design. This clinical report describes the prosthetic reconstruction of a patient who underwent tumor resection of the upper lip, anterior portion of the nasal cavity, and cartilaginous portion of the nasal septum, as well as subsequent radiation therapy. The prosthetic rehabilitation consisted of magnetic attachments, eyeglasses, and silicone adhesives. The applied technique effectively covered the site of squamous cell carcinoma removal providing natural color and form.

Statement of problem
Digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) files together with surface scans must be accurately registered in virtual implant planning software programs to match real-life dimensions and ensure correct plan transfer through computer-aided manufactured surgical guides.
Purpose
The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of 3 different registration methods of DICOM data with and without metal restorations and a metal artifact reduction (MAR) tool for surface scans.
Material and methods
Thirteen dentate mandibles were assigned to each group of this study (n=39). Baseplate wax was adapted to the bone surfaces of each mandible, and 5 radiopaque markers were attached. A desktop scanner was used to obtain control scans. The groups of metal-free mandibles (MFM) and mandibles with metal restorations (MRM) were scanned to obtain DICOM data without a MAR tool. Additional DICOM data for the MRM were obtained with the MAR tool (MRM-MAR). Point-based registration (PBR), best-fit registration (BFR), and automatic registration (AR) were used to align standard tessellation language (STL) and DICOM data, and 3 data sets were exported. Radiographic markers on each data set were compared with those on the control scan, and positional deviations were calculated and statistically evaluated with 1-way ANOVA followed by multiple pairwise comparisons, independent samples t test, and 2-way ANOVA (α=.05).
Results
Within each group, PBR had the lowest deviation values with statistical significance in the MFM and the MRM-MAR groups (P<.001). AR showed failure in the MRM and the MRM-MAR groups. Statistically significant differences were found on comparing the average deviations among the 3 groups for PBR only (P<.001). No association was found between deviation values and the presence or absence of metal restoration, while a positive association was found with the type of registration method (P<.001).
Conclusions
PBR had the highest accuracy level compared with AR and BFR methods. An increase in the number of calculations resulted in more deviation values. The MAR tool had a positive effect on PBR in mandibles with metal restorations.
