  • recent advances in dental optics part i 3d intraoral scanners for Restorative Dentistry
    Optics and Lasers in Engineering, 2014
    Co-Authors: Silvia Logozzo, Ari Kilpela, Elisabetta M Zanetti, Giordano Franceschini, Anssi J. Mäkynen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Intra-oral scanning technology is a very fast-growing field in Dentistry since it responds to the need of an accurate three-dimensional mapping of the mouth, as required in a large number of procedures such as Restorative Dentistry and orthodontics. Nowadays, more than 10 intra-oral scanning devices for Restorative Dentistry have been developed all over the world even if only some of those devices are currently available on the market. All the existing intraoral scanners try to face with problems and disadvantages of traditional impression fabrication process and are based on different non-contact optical technologies and principles. The aim of this publication is to provide an extensive review of existing intraoral scanners for Restorative Dentistry evaluating their working principles, features and performances.

  • a comparative analysis of intraoral 3d digital scanners for Restorative Dentistry
    Journal of medical technology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Silvia Logozzo, Ari Kilpela, Michele Caponi, Lapo Governi, Giordano Franceschini, Luciano Blois
    Abstract:

    Today, intra-oral mapping technology is one of the most exciting new areas in Dentistry since three-dimensional scanning of the mouth is required in a large number of procedures in Dentistry such as Restorative Dentistry and orthodontics. Nowadays, ten intra-oral scanning devices for Restorative Dentistry have been developed all over the world. Only some of those devices are currently available on the market; the others are still passing the clinical testing stages. All the existing intraoral scanners try to face with problems and disadvantages of traditional impression fabrication process and are driven by several non-contact optical technologies and principles. The aim of the present publication is to provide an extensive review of the existing intraoral scanners for Restorative Dentistry with particular attention to the evaluation of working principles, features and performances.

  • Current and Emerging Applications of 3D Printing in Restorative Dentistry
    Current Oral Health Reports, 2018
    Co-Authors: Evanthia Anadioti, Brittany Kane, Elizabeth M. Soulas
    Abstract:

    Purpose of Review 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is an emerging technology in the dental field. As it continues to advance beyond diagnostic purposes, it shifts towards the fabrication of permanent prostheses utilizing existing and novel biomaterials. A review and comparison of the current research on materials, techniques, and applications of 3D printing available for Restorative use was conducted. Recent Findings Currently, 3D printing used across the field of Restorative Dentistry, includes laboratory models and casting patterns, interim full and partial coverage restorations, surgical guides, occlusal splints, maxillofacial prosthetics, removable prostheses, and implants. Resins are most often used while ceramic and hybrid materials are currently under investigation and development. Summary While the current research available highlights 3D printing’s potential in the dental field, more research is needed on the existing and developing materials and printers, thus allowing for an exponential increase of this technology’s applications in Restorative Dentistry.

  • Periodontal considerations in Restorative Dentistry. Part 2: Prosthodontic considerations.
    Dental update, 1995
    Co-Authors: U J Yap, G Ong
    Abstract:

    This is the second of two articles to examine the periodontal considerations necessary in Restorative Dentistry. In it, the authors look closely at the considerations specific to fixed and removable prosthodontics.

  • Periodontal considerations in Restorative Dentistry. 1: Operative considerations.
    Dental update, 1994
    Co-Authors: U J Yap, G Ong
    Abstract:

    Restorative Dentistry may be defined as the branch of Dentistry that deals with the restoration or replacement of lost tooth structure, teeth or oral tissues. The practice of Restorative Dentistry has a reciprocal relationship with the maintenance of periodontal health. Untreated periodontal disease will compromise the success of Restorative Dentistry, and poor Restorative treatment may have adverse effects on the periodontium by increasing accumulation of plaque and inducing changes in the composition of the plaque flora. Excessive occlusal stress and direct physical injury to the gingiva produced by the various dental procedures may also affect periodontal health. This is the first of two articles to look in depth at the periodontal considerations necessary in Restorative Dentistry, and covers the factors important in operative Dentistry. The second article, which will be published in a later issue, will look at the situation with regard to prosthodontics.
