“…New optimized CAD/CAM software and faster milling procedures can make digital workflows more efficient and so the cost-benefit ratio increases. Another future perspective of the development in digital workflows is given by several studies that investigate the use of 3D printing in digital workflows [36][37][38][39]. Today, conventional workflows in collaboration with dental laboratory or digital workflows with milling machines are still the preferable workflow process [36,37].…”

“…Another future perspective of the development in digital workflows is given by several studies that investigate the use of 3D printing in digital workflows [36][37][38][39]. Today, conventional workflows in collaboration with dental laboratory or digital workflows with milling machines are still the preferable workflow process [36,37]. However, if 3D printing processes could increase in accuracy, aesthetic properties and time efficiency, it could be a more sustainable alternative than the milling process and the conventional methods since less waste is produced [36,37,39].…”

Time Efficiency of Digitally and Conventionally Produced Single-Unit Restorations

et al. 2021

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the time efficiency of digital chairside and labside workflows with a conventional workflow for single-unit restorations. The time efficiency in this specific sense was defined as the time, which has to be spent in a dental office by a dental professional performing the relevant steps. A model with interchangeable teeth on position 36 was created. These teeth were differently prepared, responding to several clinical situations to perform single-unit restorations. Different manufacturing techniques were used: For the digital workflows, CEREC Omnicam (CER) and Trios 3 (TN/TI) were used. The conventional workflow, using a dual-arch tray impression technique, served as the control group. For the labside workflow (_L) and the conventional impression procedure (CO), the time necessary for the impressions and temporary restorations was recorded and served as operating time. The chairside workflow time was divided by the time for the entire workflow (_C) including scan, design, milling and finishing the milled restoration, and in the actual working time (_CW) leaving out the chairside milling of the restoration. Labside workflow time ranged from 9 min 27 s (CER_L) to 12 min 41 s (TI_L). Entire chairside time ranged from 43 min 35 s (CER_C) to 58 min 43 s (TI_C). Pure chairside working time ranged from 15 min 21 s (CER_CW) to 23 min 17 s (TI_CW). Conventional workflow time was 10 min 39 s (CO) on average. The digital labside workflow and the conventional workflow require a similar amount of time. The digital chairside workflow is more time consuming.

“…Conservative materials present great variability and they present different mechanical properties in terms of hardness [15], roughness [16] and elasticity modulus [17]. Additionally, some recently introduced conservative materials such as fiber reinforced composites [18] or CAD/CAM restoratives [19] present different hardness and flexural properties if compared with conventional conservative materials, thus leading to different possibilities of correlation with TMJ. For this reason, the knowledge about this topic has to be constantly updated.…”

Background: The paper surveyed the knowledge of general practitioners to coronal restorations and temporomandibular dysfunction. The specific aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and therapeutic approaches of the general practitioners in terms of restoring occlusion, aesthetics and function after restorative treatments in other to make recommendations to prevent potential dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. Methodology: A cross sectional descriptive survey was used. It was carried out on 86 dentists out of the entire population size of 152 dentists practicing within Abidjan’s center municipality, randomly selected from the database provided by the National College of Dental Surgeons of Ivory Coast. A structured questionnaire was administered to collect data, which was subsequently collated and analysed. Results: The majority of the practitioners (95.4%) knew how to diagnose TMJ dysfunction. The etiological factors were stress for 55.2% of the practitioners and amalgam overhang for 49.4% of them. The precautions used to avoid TMJ disorders consisted of good control of the occlusion after having performed a restoration (55%) and taking into account the occlusal morphology (32%) at the time of shaping. Fifty-four percent of the practitioners systematically reevaluated the restorations undertaken. Conclusion: Impairment of occlusion results in improper muscular responses and leads to changes in pressure at the level of the temporomandibular joint. This study revealed that the general practitioners of the town of Abidjan have a good level of knowledge of the consequences of poorly carried out restorations on the initiation of masticatory apparatus disorders.

“…The application of innovative technological products such as CAD/CAM techniques (Ahlholm et al, 2019), combined with the use of integrated systems for virtual design and computerized production processes of public and corporate enterprises, have led entire industrial districts to increase their skills and services, achieving economies of scale through greater flexibility in working practices and a faster exchange of information between suppliers. Also the organizations operating within healthcare sector could have similar benefits.…”

The work examines the different healthcare contexts in which innovation has been applied, or could be applied, resulting in cost containment and increased quality and efficiency of medical care services. In addition, the different factors influencing the adoption of information technologies in the national healthcare systems of the European Union are discussed, in particular as regards the existence of structural barriers. Innovation is defined as the creation of something still not existing, to be uses for new products and services or for more efficient processes and is therefore linked to change, because innovation requires change. Information technology (IT) is described as the acquisition, processing and storage of data by a computing product. This work qualitatively analyses use cases, which are in turn based on quantitative research methodologies (i.e. performance indicators), commonly based on the manipulation of independent variables to generate statistically analyzable data, which guarantees objectivity and provides greater data reliability. Studies have been conducted to observe current trends in access to information technology across different age groups, to detect the existence of correlations between Internet users and online healthcare information searches. In this work, several Italian initiatives for the diffusion of IT applications in the healthcare sector have been analyzed. Some of the ongoing pilot projects include the collaboration of the Politecnico di Milano, through the establishment of the Laboratory of Biomedical Technologies (TBMLab), and the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa, to carry out research on eHealth activities and to promote the development of home automation systems for patients with disabilities. The HHC-MOTES model should also be noted, which aims to analyze the implementation of IT in the healthcare (HHC) sector from the point of view of sustainability in the management, organizational, technological, environmental and social fields (MOTES).
