The lower jaw of Devonian ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii): Anatomy, relationships, and functional morphology

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

New craniodental materials of Falcarius utahensis (Theropoda: Therizinosauria) reveal patterns of intraspecific variation and cranial evolution in early coelurosaurians

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

An ontological morphological phylogenetic framework for living and extinct ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

A rare mental foramen variation and the role of cone‐beam computed tomography in preventing nerve injury: A case report

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The interforaminal space is frequently used for dental implant placement due to its strategic location between the bilateral mental foramina. However, neurosensory disturbances following surgical intervention near the mental foramen (MF) can occur in up to 43% of cases.

Using E‐portfolios to Identify Threshold Concepts in Removable Prosthodontics

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Training in removable prosthodontics traditionally includes a preclinical laboratory component that precedes clinical exposure. Students struggle to relate the laboratory component to clinical work, because successful learning in removable prosthodontics involves many threshold concepts, some of which have been identified ...

Digital Workflows in Prosthodontics

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of scanning technologies, design software, and manufacturing techniques has led to the maturation of digital workflows in prosthodontics over the past few decades. Initially perceived as alternatives to analogue workflows, digital workflows now offer significant advantages in diagnosis, treatment planning, communication ...

Dynamic and Robotic Computer‐Assisted Implant Surgery—A Possible Workflow for the Future?

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital technologies are reshaping dental implantology, with dynamic navigation and robotic systems offering high implant placement accuracy within clinically acceptable error ranges, the latter often achieving slightly higher accuracy. These systems enhance surgical accuracy and minimise trauma; however, high costs, extended preparation time,

Are Conventional Impressions Obsolete? A Narrative Review on the Applicability of Intraoral Scanners

Australian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This narrative review examines the clinical indication, practical advantages and limitations of dental digital impressions as compared to conventional impression techniques. Digital impressions are scientifically approved for their high accuracy for single tooth restorations while enhancing workflow efficiency through seamless integration with

Clinical and Radiographic Performance of Two Distinct Sandblasted, Large‐Grit, Acid‐Etched Implant Surfaces: A Split‐Mouth Randomized Clinical Trial

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To compare the clinical performance of two sandblasted, large‐grit, acid‐etched implant surfaces regarding changes in radiographic marginal bone level (MBL) 12 months after loading. Materials and Methods In this randomized, split‐mouth, dual‐center clinical trial, each patient received one test (modified hydrophilic surface) implant and ...

Global Citizenship in Clinical Training: A Qualitative Study Evaluating a Co‐Creation Approach to Community Oral Health Interventions

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Oral health plays a crucial role in overall well‐being, impacting general health, psychological health and quality of life. Vulnerable groups often face higher rates of oral health problems, exacerbating inequalities. This study evaluates the effectiveness of student‐delivered oral health interventions with these groups using a co‐
