Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue entitled “Advancements in Dental Medicine, Oral Anesthesiology and Surgery, 2nd Edition” which will be published in the MDPI journal Medicina (Q1).

Background and Objectives: This study aimed to identify osseous and dental mandibular landmarks that consistently indicate the location of the mental foramen, the primary reference for the mental–incisive trunk block. Materials and Methods: Computed Tomography (CT) scans of the mandibles of 100 patients from a Romanian population (N = 100) were retrospectively analyzed to measure the following: distances from the mental foramen to the basal border of the mandible, alveolar process/crest, and midline, as well as the position of the foramen relative to the lower premolars. These measurements were correlated with patients’ age (divided into three groups: 18–30 years, 30–60 years, >60 years) and gender. Results: The mental foramen was found to be closer to the alveolar crest (13.3 mm with SD = 3.3 in males and 10.7 mm with SD = 4.4 in females, overall mean = 12.3 mm, SD = 4.0) (p = 0.001) than to the inferior border of the mandible (14.3 mm with SD = 1.8 in males and 12.9 mm with SD = 1.6 in females, overall mean = 13.7 mm, SD = 1.9) (p < 0.001). In addition, the foramen was most frequently located adjacent to the second premolar (27.0%) rather than between the premolars (20.0%) and at a distance of ≃2.5 cm lateral to the midline (overall mean = 25.2 mm, SD = 3.5) (p = 0.034). Conclusions: Following the measurements performed, the mental foramen was identified as being closer to the alveolar crest in the vertical direction, at a distance of approximately 2.5 cm lateral to the midline, and most frequently located at the level of the second lower premolar.

Background and Objectives: To evaluate and compare the accuracy (trueness and precision) and scanning speed of three intraoral scanners: Medit i700, Primescan 1, and COXO DL-300P, under standardized clinical conditions, using a digitized high-precision analog impression as the reference. Materials and Methods: A patient requiring fixed prosthetic treatment on natural abutments (2.5, 2.7, 3.5, 3.8) was selected. Ten sequential full-arch scans were performed with each scanner in rotating order. Scanning time was recorded for each full-arch acquisition. Accuracy analysis focused on regions of interest: the upper jaw included abutments with adjacent mucosa, the lower jaw included only abutment surfaces. A VPS impression was taken, poured in type IV stone, and digitized with a high-accuracy desktop scanner to serve as the reference. All datasets were analyzed in Geomagic Control X, and statistics were performed using MedCalc (α = 0.05). Results: Upper Jaw (Abutments and Mucosa): The Medit i700 achieved the highest trueness (100.3 ± 6.6 µm), outperforming Primescan and COXO (p = 0.008). COXO showed the best precision, while Primescan demonstrated the greatest variability (p < 0.0001). Primescan produced the fastest scans (72.5 ± 3.8 s) (p = 0.001). Lower Jaw: (Abutment Surface Only): Medit yielded superior trueness (193.1 ± 63.4 µm) compared with Primescan and COXO (p = 0.005). Precision varied significantly among devices, with COXO presenting the greatest inconsistency (p = 0.0004). Scan times did not differ significantly (p = 0.068). Conclusions: Medit i700 demonstrated the highest trueness, Primescan delivered the fastest scans but variable results, and COXO showed acceptable but inconsistent precision. Full article
