Therefore, the aim of this prospective study was to compare cephalometric measurements obtained with manual tracing and artificial intelligence programs. An additional goal was to evaluate the difference in cephalometric tracing duration. Materials and methods: Fifty pretreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs with complete permanent dentition were included in this study. Poor quality radiographs, irregular shaped incisors roots, craniofacial deformity and/or impacted teeth were excluded. Each lateral cephalogram was traced and analysed using manual method, WebCephand Cephio programs. After completion of landmark plotting, linear and angular measurements of Steiner’sanalysis were calculated. Results: The results indicated the presence of no statistically significant differences between the three methods. SNA, SNB and ANB angles had a relatively higher values with WebCeph compared to Cephio and manual cephalometric analysis. On the other hand, mandibular plane angle and occlusal plane angle were higher withCephio when compared to WebCeph and manual methods. The duration taken for cephalometric measurements showed statistically significant difference between manual cephalometric analysis and AI based programs with WebCeph presenting the least duration and manual method showing highest duration. Conclusion: The cephalometric measurements obtained from both WebCeph and Cephio programs are highly accurate when compared to manual measurements. Cephalometric measurements done using WebCeph and Cephio are formulated in a significantly shorter time in comparison to manual method.","PeriodicalId":104867,"journal":{"name":"Ain Shams Dental Journal","volume":"484 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135532264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim : To investigate the morphological aspects of inversely altering energy level and exposure time of Er:YAG laser on exposed dentinal tubules (DTs) in-vitro. Methodology : Ten human freshly extracted sound third molars were collected. Their crowns were horizontally then vertically sectioned to expose transverse and longitudinal sections of DTs respectively. The obtained 20 specimens were divided into four groups (n=5) after exposure to 35% phosphoric acid: Group LI (irradiated with Er:YAG laser of 80 mJ energy and 60 seconds exposure time), group LII (irradiated with Er:YAG laser of 120 mJ energy and 30 seconds exposure time). Control groups (CI and CII) were not irradiated. Specimens were assessed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) provided with digitizer and the depth of laser impact was measured in irradiated groups for statistical analysis. Results : Increasing energy and decreasing exposure time of Er:YAG laser in group LII adequately occluded exposed DTs, but the depth of laser impact was significantly reduced compared to group LI. Moreover, in group LII, the morphology of pulpal end of the DTs was adversely affected Conclusion : Er:YAG laser parameters set of (80 mJ, 5 Hz, 60 s), under water spray was effective in occluding exposed dentinal tubules and harmless to deep dentin tissues which could provide a safe dentin hypersensitivity treatment that further needs to be assessed clinically.","PeriodicalId":104867,"journal":{"name":"Ain Shams Dental Journal","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127206339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, Computer aided design- Computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) fabricated bars are increasingly used providing high stability levels, a stress-free fit, and high precision level. Objective: to evaluate the crestal bone height surrounding the implants in implant-supported mandibular overdentures retained with CAD/CAM milled Co-Cr and PEEK bar attachments using CBCT. Materials and Methods: Twenty completely edentulous patients were selected from the outpatient clinic, Prosthodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University. They were classified into two groups: Group I: Ten patients received CAD/CAM milled Co-Cr bar supporting implant mandibular overdenture. Group II: Ten patients received CAD/CAM milled PEEK bar supporting implant mandibular overdenture. Radiographic evaluation using CBCT was carried out at insertion time, six months, and twelve months after loading to evaluate the marginal bone height changes around the implants in both groups. Results: Statistical analysis of the data revealed significant increase in the amount of bone loss around the implants for group I (Co-Cr) compared to group II (PEEK) during the one year follow-up period. Conclusion: The use of CAD/CAM milled Co-Cr and PEEK bar attachments to support implant mandibular overdenture meets the implant success criteria based on clinical and radiological findings after one year. However, CAD/CAM milled PEEK bar may be advantageous than CAD/CAM milled Co-Cr bar in terms of reduced bone loss.","PeriodicalId":104867,"journal":{"name":"Ain Shams Dental Journal","volume":"217 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115904429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the strain induced in lithium disilicate anterior bridges replacing maxillary lateral incisor, as influenced by bridge design; cantilever bridges (CB) versus fixed-fixed bridges (FFB), and direction of loading; vertical and lateral. Materials and methods: A total of 20 heat-pressed monolithic lithium disilicate bridges were constructed and divided according to bridge design into two main groups (n=10), 1. CB: Cantilever bridge design with full coverage retainer on the canine, and 2. FFB: Fixed-fixed bridge design with full-coverage retainers on the central incisor and canine. Main groups were subdivided according to the direction of loading into two equal subgroups (n=5). Subgroup (V): Vertical loading, and Subgroup (L): Lateral loading. Wax patterns were duplicated to achieve identical bridges of each group using a custom-made wax injection mold. Ten duplicate epoxy resin dies were produced for each bridge group to hold the bridges during the strain test. The samples were subjected to vertical and lateral loading until complete fracture using universal testing machine. The strain induced in the samples was measured by a KYOWA strain meter. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare between the two bridge designs. Results : The fixed-fixed bridge design Group (FFB) (control group) showed statistically significant higher mean strain value (678.90±34.40) than cantilever bridge group (CB) (411.80±35.13); while upon lateral loading, the CB showed a significantly higher mean strain value (399.40) than the FFB (262.60). Conclusion: The strain values induced in lithium disilicate anterior bridges have no catastrophic effect regardless of bridge design, indicating that cantilever bridge design could resist both vertical and lateral loading in a favorable and clinically acceptable mode.","PeriodicalId":104867,"journal":{"name":"Ain Shams Dental Journal","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122369868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
