3D printed coping for intraoral evaluation: a clinical report
Quintessence International (Berlin, Germany : 1985)
|June 13, 2019
Summary
Three-dimensional (3D) printed copings offer a cost-effective method for evaluating complex anterior restorations intraorally. This technique allows for thorough testing before final milling, reducing delays in the fabrication process.
Area of Science:
- Dental materials science
- Digital dentistry
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Esthetic anterior restorations require precise fit and form.
- Traditional fabrication workflows can be time-consuming and costly.
- Intraoral try-in of definitive restorations can lead to delays if adjustments are needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the clinical application of three-dimensional (3D) printed copings.
- To evaluate the utility of 3D printed copings for intraoral assessment of anterior restorations.
- To assess the cost-effectiveness and time efficiency of using 3D printed copings.
Main Methods:
- Fabrication of provisional copings using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology.
- Intraoral evaluation of the 3D printed copings for fit, esthetics, and function.
- Comparison with traditional methods for evaluating restoration frameworks.
Main Results:
- 3D printed copings provided a viable means for intraoral evaluation.
- The method proved cost-effective for complex and esthetic cases.
- Significant reduction in fabrication delays was observed compared to conventional methods.
Conclusions:
- Three-dimensional (3D) printed copings are a valuable tool for pre-milling evaluation of anterior restorations.
- This approach enhances the predictability of esthetic outcomes.
- It offers a practical and efficient solution for dental laboratories and clinicians.

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused
449
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused
458
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation
379
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Data Reporting and Recording
5.4K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...
