“…The printer has a resolution accuracy of 0.034mm and XY axis accuracy of 0.05mm, making it capable of providing high quality dies with high precision. 40 The material of choice for dental dies is Proshape model resin. It is a 3D resin with a ceramic basis which is characterized by its exceptional dimensional stability and distinctive texture.…”

Background: Limited data is present on the accuracy of algorithms present inside CAD/CAM software regarding its effect on reverse taper blocking and, furthermore, on its effect on the internal fit. Aim: To evaluate the effect of two blocking methods of reverse taper preparation (conventional wax blocking and digital software's algorithm) on the internal fit of CAD/CAM monolithic zirconia crowns, and to compare the internal fit between zirconia crowns constructed over blocked preparation, and 12º Total Occlusal Convergence (TOC). Material and methods: Thirty CAD/CAM monolithic zirconia crowns were constructed over 3D printed dies. They were divided into three groups, each (n=10) according to the degree of TOC ;12 º, -4 º and -8 º reverse taper.Group II and Group III will be further subdivided into 2 sub-groups (n=5) according to the method of reverse taper blocking: A, conventional wax blocking technique, and B, digital method. 3D models were created to simulate a reduced upper molar. All dies were scanned to create STL files.Internal fit was assessed with the silicone replica technique. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare between the groups. Dunn's test was used for pair-wise comparisons when Kruskal-Wallis or Friedman's test was significant. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between internal gap distance measurements of the five groups and between methods. Conclusion:Under the conditions of this study, the internal fit of the zirconia crowns constructed over reverse tapered preparations were within the clinically accepted values (300µ) except for -8 o digitally blocked specimen (315.6µ).

“…Despite the benefits of employing a diode laser during oral mucosa surgeries, it has been claimed that this technique results in delayed healing compared with traditional surgical scalpels. 13 Conventional surgical approaches, including cutting bone with drills, burs, and piezotomes, have been previously reported despite scarring, pain, and discomfort, followed by prolonged postoperative healing. 6,11,18 Erbium laser technology has succeeded over the past 20 years and is now quite capable of bone and tooth structure ablation with notable advantages.…”

“…12 The rehabilitation in prosthetic dentistry is significantly impacted by the rapid development of lasers and their wavelengths with a wide range of applications on soft and hard tissues. 12,13 The case report presented here illustrates the use of (Er,Cr:YSGG 2780 nm) laser for successful hard-and softtissue manipulation to recontour the mandibular ridge, removing a bony exostosis and a lower lip mucocele that precludes function as well as to facilitate prosthetic rehabilitation.…”

Lasers are a popular technology in many areas of dentistry due to their low invasiveness, quick tissue response, and rapid healing time. Mucoceles develop from minor salivary glands, whereas bony exostosis is a prosthodontic challenge that prevents optimal prosthetic management. Scarring, pain, and discomfort are common drawbacks of traditional surgical approaches, which are followed by prolonged postoperative healing. Laser-assisted mandibular rehabilitation is a promising approach with predictable results. The patient complained of severe pain during denture fabrication, as well as a small, painless swelling on the inner aspect of the lower lip. The patient was able to receive the planned complete dentures after undergoing atraumatic laser-assisted removal of mucocele and bone exostosis with an Er,Cr:YSGG (Erbium, chromium-doped, yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet) laser treatment at 2780 nm. Both procedures were completed quickly, and there were no postoperative complications to report. Blanching overlying both lesions quickly faded after healing and was replaced by a healthy pink mucosal color; both lesions were monitored until complete healing. The Er,Cr:YSGG effectively ablated and removed both soft and hard tissue lesions with minimal bleeding and pain.
