Summary
This study presents a novel digital bite registration technique for edentulous patients receiving dental implants. This method accurately captures occlusal vertical dimension for precise full-arch implant restorations.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Digital Dentistry
- Implantology
Background:
- Digital bite registration for fully edentulous patients with dental implants is not widely documented.
- Accurate occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) is crucial for successful implant rehabilitation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a technique for intraoral digital registration of OVD in a fully edentulous maxilla.
- To facilitate the rehabilitation of the maxilla with a fixed implant prosthesis.
Main Methods:
- A novel technique using a modified surgical stent for digital bite registration was employed.
- Intraoral scanning captured digital impressions of the maxilla and mandible.
- Occlusal vertical dimension was registered bilaterally using the surgical stent and scanbodies.
Main Results:
- The described technique enabled precise digital mounting of the scanned jaws.
- This facilitated the fabrication of a full-arch implant-supported prosthesis for the maxilla.
Conclusions:
- This digital registration technique offers a precise method for OVD capture in fully edentulous patients undergoing implant rehabilitation.
- The technique aids in the accurate restoration of the maxilla with implant-supported prostheses.

First impressions play a crucial role in social perception, shaping how individuals assess others in professional, academic, and interpersonal contexts. Psychological research highlights the significance of cognitive biases, such as the primacy and recency effects, which influence how people interpret and recall information.The Primacy Effect and Cognitive AnchoringThe primacy effect describes the tendency for initial information to impact judgment disproportionately.

01:19Managing Impressions
165
Impression management encompasses individuals' deliberate efforts to shape how others perceive them during social interactions. This behavior is often employed to conform to social norms, secure approval, or pursue specific goals. While it involves selective self-presentation, it is not necessarily deceptive; individuals frequently present authentic aspects of themselves that align with situational demands.Common strategies include:Ingratiation: where individuals use flattery or agreeableness...

175
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...

155
Ingratiation refers to deliberate behaviors aimed at increasing one’s attractiveness or likability to a target person, often for strategic interpersonal or social gain. This set of impression management tactics is especially prevalent in hierarchical contexts, where influencing someone with greater power or authority can yield significant benefits. Several distinct ingratiation strategies have been identified, each leveraging psychological cues to foster favor and affiliation.Opinion...

01:29Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances
207
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...
