TL;DR: It can be concluded that the OHRQoL of the patients of the study was generally not optimal and found to be strongly associated with oral health.
Abstract: This study aims to investigate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a group of removable partial denture (RPD) wearers in Shiraz (Iran), using the Persian version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Two hundred removable partial denture wearers had completed a questionnaire regarding patients' demographic characteristics and denture-related factors. In addition, the OHIP-14 questionnaire was filled out by interviewing the patients. Two measures of interpreting the OHIP-14 scales were utilised: OHIP-14 sum and OHIP-14 prevalence. The relationship of the patients' demographic characteristics and denture-related factors, with their OHRQoL was investigated. The mean OHIP-14 sum and OHIP-14 prevalence of RPD wearers were 13·80 (±10·08) and 44·5%, respectively. The most problematic aspects of OHIP-14 were physical disability and physical pain. Twenty-seven percentage and 24% of participants had reported meal interruption and eating discomfort, respectively. OHIP-14 prevalence and OHIP-14 sum were found to be significantly associated with factors representing RPD wearer's oral health such as self-reported oral health and frequency of denture cleaning. Furthermore, OHIP-14 prevalence and OHIP-14 sum were significantly associated with factors related to frequency of denture use such as hours of wearing the denture during the day and wearing the denture while eating and sleeping. Therefore, it can be concluded that the OHRQoL of the patients of the study was generally not optimal and found to be strongly associated with oral health.

TL;DR: Although there are immediate differences between the different lateral occlusion schemes, patients have the capability to successfully adapt to CGO or GFO, and there is no difference between the 2 schemes in patient comfort and restoration longevity.
Abstract: Statement of problem Although several lateral occlusion philosophies have been proposed in the literature, there is a lack of compelling evidence supporting any scheme. Purpose The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the clinical implications of different lateral occlusion schemes. Material and methods A literature search was completed through PubMed (MEDLINE), Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library, up to January 2014. The literature search aimed to retrieve 2 study categories: group 1: comparative studies; group 2: clinical outcome studies. The inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed human clinical studies published in English. The search was further supplemented by manual searching through the reference lists of the selected studies. Results The initial search revealed a total of 680 studies; however, after applying the inclusion criteria, 26 studies were found suitable for the analysis (13 for group 1 and 13 for group 2). The most commonly evaluated lateral occlusion schemes were canine-guided occlusion (CGO) and group function occlusion (GFO). Group 1 studies evaluated the impact of lateral occlusion schemes on muscular electromyographic (EMG) activity, condylar displacement, mastication, and mandibular movement. Group 2 studies evaluated the impact of restored occlusion on longevity, patient comfort, and pathologic consequences. CGO was associated with narrower mastication and less EMG activity of the masticatory muscles during clenching. GFO was associated with wider mandibular movement and quicker mastication. During mastication, there was no difference in EMG activity between the 2 lateral occlusion schemes. Furthermore, the long-term studies indicated that there is no difference between the 2 schemes in patient comfort and restoration longevity. Conclusion Although there are immediate differences between the different lateral occlusion schemes, patients have the capability to successfully adapt to CGO or GFO.

TL;DR: The lateral occlusion scheme of the two wax-up models was subjected to alterations following excursion and there was no difference between the conventional and digital prosthodontic planning.
Abstract: Recently, digital wax-up is proposed as a tool to aid prosthodontic planning. However, there are no data about the effect of prosthodontic planning on lateral occlusion scheme. Objective : This study aims to evaluate the impact of conventional and digital prosthodontic planning on lateral occlusion scheme. Material and Methods : Dental models of 10 patients were collected. All models had Angle Class I occlusion and were undergoing prosthodontic treatment that would influence the lateral occlusion scheme. Each set of models had received both conventional wax-up and digital wax-up. In relation to the lateral occlusion scheme, the following variables were evaluated: the prevalence of the different lateral occlusion scheme, number of contacting teeth and percentage of each contacting tooth. Four excursive positions on the working side were included: 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mm from the maximal intercuspation position. Results : The lateral occlusion scheme of the two wax-up models was subjected to alterations following excursion. There was a tendency for the prevalence of canine-guided occlusion to increase and for the prevalence of group function occlusion to decrease with increasing excursion. The number of contacting teeth was decreasing with the increasing magnitude of excursion. For the 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm positions, the two wax-ups had significantly greater contacts than the pre-treatment models, while at the 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm positions, all the models were similar. For all models, canines were the most commonly contacting teeth, followed by the teeth adjacent to them. No difference was observed between the two wax-ups in relation to the number of contacting teeth. Conclusion : Although the prosthodontic planning had influenced the pattern of the lateral occlusion scheme and contacts, there was no difference between the conventional and digital prosthodontic planning.

TL;DR: The two wax-ups improved the contact number and area and showed greater discrepancies than the pre-treatment casts, however, the magnitude of discrepancy was greater for the digital wax-up.

TL;DR: There is a clear tendency for the digital wax-up to cause a greater contour increase than the conventional wax- up, and the anterior teeth were associated with a greater tooth contours increase than posterior teeth and the contour of the molars was the least affected.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of conventional and digital diagnostic wax-up on the axial tooth contour. Dental models of 15 patients were collected. Each model received conventional wax-up and digital wax-up. The conventional wax-up was based on tooth modification with dental wax on actual models. The digital wax-up involved fitting an average tooth form on virtual pretreatment models. Each wax-up model was digitally superimposed on the corresponding pretreatment model. For each modified tooth, analysis planes were extracted at three locations: mesial line angle, midtooth, and distal line angle. The impact of the following variables was evaluated: interarch location (maxilla vs mandible), intra-arch location (anterior vs posterior), tooth category (incisors, canines, premolars, and molars), and tooth location (midtooth vs line angle). The axial contour of the modified teeth increased after each wax-up, and this increase was directly proportional to the distance from the gingival margin. There is a clear tendency for the digital wax-up to cause a greater contour increase than the conventional wax-up. The anterior teeth were associated with a greater tooth contour increase than posterior teeth and the contour of the molars was the least affected. Although the conventional wax-up contour alteration was significantly less than for the digital wax-up, the actual difference was minimal.
