- Results of the 'German S2k guideline on intraoral scan in dental medicine' - Part I: Prerequisites, Scan Acquisition, Data Processing and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) AND Results of the 'German S2k guideline on intraoral scan in dental medicine'. [Journal Article]Int J Comput Dent. 2026 Oct 01; 0(0):0. [Online ahead of print]IJ
- CONCLUSIONS: Besides accurate data acquisition, reliable intraoral scanning requires a well-integrated digital workflow with validated interfaces and processing pathways. Clinical success depends on the interaction between system performance, indication-specific application, and standardized handling. Consensus-based recommendations should provide practical guidance to ensure consistent, high-quality outcomes in daily practice.

- Evaluation of 18-Month Clinical Performance of CAD/CAM Hybrid Onlay Restorations Using FDI Criteria and QLF Imaging. [Journal Article]Int J Comput Dent. 2026 Sep 29; 0(0):0. [Online ahead of print]IJ
- CONCLUSIONS: CAD/CAM onlay restorations demonstrate favourable 18-month clinical performance. QLF-based fluorescence analysis using Qraypen C® provides objective insight into early marginal deterioration, correlating well with clinical findings. Integrating fluorescence diagnostics provided additional information on marginal interface beyond conventional clinical inspection, supporting its potential value as an adjunctive tool in the routine monitoring of restorations.

- Effect of Scanner Tip Size and Edentulous Arch Length on Intraoral Scan Accuracy in Kennedy Class I Cases. [Journal Article]Int J Comput Dent. 2026 Jul 16; 0(0):0. [Online ahead of print]IJ
- CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, both Medit i900 and Dexis IS 3800W provided clinically acceptable accuracy for Kennedy Class I mandibular arches. Accuracy was influenced by scanner type, tip size, and scanned area. Larger tips improved accuracy in edentulous regions, whereas smaller tips provided advantages in narrow areas.

- Preferences for Digital Versus Conventional Prosthodontic Procedures After Standardized Pre-treatment Information: A Cross-Sectional Survey in Germany. [Journal Article]Int J Comput Dent. 2026 Jul 08; 0(0):0. [Online ahead of print]IJ
- CONCLUSIONS: In this convenience sample, respondents showed a clear preference for digitally supported procedures after receiving standardized pre-treatment information. However, these findings must be interpreted in light of potential framing effects of the survey materials and the limited representativeness of the sample. Socioeconomic disparities may also influence acceptance and access. Future studies should examine additional determinants of these preferences and evaluate how pre-treatment communication shapes decision-making in more diverse populations.

- The effect of multiple firings on the dimensional accuracy of monolithic multilayered zirconia crowns manufactured with different shades: An in vitro study. [Journal Article]Int J Comput Dent. 2026 Jul 03; 0(0):0. [Online ahead of print]IJ
- CONCLUSIONS: Repeated firings and darker shades increase the material's sensitivity to thermal treatments, causing statistically significant dimensional changes. However, these dimensional fluctuations remain clinically negligible. Clinicians can safely perform multiple corrective firings on these restorations, regardless of shade, without compromising their final fit.
