Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The special development of the materials and technologies used today in oral medicine creates a series of new challenges both for the researchers in this field, but also for the dental practitioners. One of the directions of these new challenges is to identify personalized solutions for the variety of the morphological substrate instead of trying to adapt the morphological substrate to one of the standard solutions. The emergence of digital technologies offers special opportunities to these challenges and also offers the technological support to obtain restorations with an increased level of customization. However, there still remains a number of questions and issues related to the evaluation and approval of personalized solutions before their actual use on the patient and the costs that may be involved.

This Special Issue seeks research articles but also review articles and theoretical approaches. They should highlight the individualization possibilities of the treatments used in oral medicine, to evaluate the clinical results observed, the benefits and disadvantages noticed on the directions where personalized treatments could be used so far, the identification of new directions of personalization for the oral medicine area, but also the challenges they can raise before their use in clinical activity.

Of particular interest are the interdisciplinary studies, which have the capacity to implement into oral medicine existing technological advances.

Recently, due to the high demand for dental implants, the use of dental implant stock abutments has increased significantly, especially dental custom CAD/CAM implant abutments milled by dental technicians in their laboratories. The purpose of this study is to analyze the surface quality of the emergence profile of dental custom CAD/CAM implant abutments made by a non-industrial milling machine, compared to original and compatible dental implant stock abutments made by industrial machines. Thirty dental implant abutments were divided into six study lots. Lot 1 (control group): original dental implant stock abutments—industrial machined; lot 2 (study group): compatible dental implant stock abutments—industrial machined; lots 3, 4, 5, and 6 (study groups): compatible custom CAD/CAM dental implant abutments—non-industrial milled with hyperDENT CAM software and Paragon Tools. The Nikon SMZ745T stereomicroscope was used to analyze the emergence profile surface of each dental implant abutment. The structure of the analyzed surfaces did not show significant differences between original and compatible abutments that were industrially machined. As for the customized dental implant abutments, the greatest similarity with the original was obtained for lot 6, and a significant statistical difference was obtained for lot 4. Stepover and Feed Rate parameters of the milling process influenced the surface roughness of the emergence profile for the customized dental implant abutments. The digital technology of non-industrial milling compatible custom CAD/CAM dental implant abutments is reliable and within the correct milling parameters. Full article
