    Abstract Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of scan paths on the accuracy (trueness and precision) of intra-oral scanning of an implant impression on an edentulous patient.
    Material and methods: An epoxy resin maxillary model was made with 6 bone level implants (NobelParallel Conical Connection RP, NobelBiocare®). The implants were placed at the spot of the first incisor, the canine and the first molar. The trans gingival component (Multi-unit, NobelBiocare®) was screwed onto the implants. The scanbodies (IO 2C-A, Elos Accurate®) were then screwed onto the multi-units. The model was run through a coordinate measurement machine to obtain a control cast. Then, five different scanning paths, respectively the zigzag technique (ZZT), the zigzag technique with palatal (ZZTP), the wrap technique (WT), the wrap technique with palatal (WTP), and the big zigzag technique (BZZT), were applied by a single operator. Finally, each scan was compared to the control model. Results were assessed by one-way ANOVA and linear mixed effects models at P<0.05.
    Results: The study showed that scan paths ZZT and ZZTP had significantly lower absolute positioning errors and residual mean square errors than the others (P<0.0001). For distances between consecutive implant axes and for absolute vertical errors, their superiority was borderline (P<0.10). Overall, techniques ZZT and ZZTP were equally performant and proved to be the most accurate.
    Conclusions: This in vitro experimental study demonstrates that the scan path can have an influence on the accuracy of the optical impression for full arch rehabilitation on implants.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study, conducted on women with pudendal neuropathy, was to evaluate the usefulness of quantitative thermal sensory testing (QTST) in the diagnosis, surgical management, and prognosis of the disease.
    Methods: The study was conducted on 90 women with pudendal neuropathy. QTST in pudendal nerve sensory innervation territory was realized before and more than 24 months after operative pudendoscopy on most patients. Cold and warm thresholds were evaluated together with a search for qualitative anomalies. The diagnostic value of QTST was assessed by comparing baseline data with normative values previously derived from 41 presumably healthy women. The effect of operative pudendoscopy on thermal sensitivity was tested by comparing preoperative and postoperative measurements. Assessment of the long-term prognostic value of QTST was based on "surgical success" defined as a VAS pain level less than 4 at least 2 years after surgery.
    Results: The existence of qualitative anomalies, like anesthesia, allodynia, dysesthesia, radiation, and dyslocalization, was clearly indicative of pudendal neuropathy. The presence of after sensation and "out of limit" values of skin temperature and cold detection threshold were also helpful for diagnosing the disease. Surgery reduced qualitative anomalies but had no positive effect on QTST thresholds. QTST measurements had no real prognostic value but other factors like constipation and abnormal perineal descent were predictive of surgical success.
    Conclusion: For women with pudendal neuropathy, QTST can be considered a useful, non-invasive tool in the diagnosis, and management of the disease, but it cannot predict satisfactorily long-term outcome of operative pudendoscopy.

    Abstract Smoking is considered as a risk factor for the poor outcomes after periodontitis non-surgical treatment (PNST). The aim of this short communication is to predict probing depth reduction after periodontal non-surgical treatment in smokers according to the nicotine dependence (FTND) and the number of cigarette consumed (NCC). This work is a post-hoc study of a prospective controlled study on the effect of oral hygiene instructions and PNST on periodontal outcomes. This short communication focused only on the current conventional smokers (N = 34), based on specific smoking indicators, and on probing depth (PD) parameter that were recorded at baseline (time 0), after oral hygiene instruction (time 1) and 3 months after PNST (time 2). The 34 smokers had a mean age 46.5 ± 11.5 years. The NCC- and FTND-based predictions allowed to show in a specific nomogram the PD values 3 months after PNST for each NCC and FTND category. Two nomograms are proposed for prognostic purposes and allow patients to understand the impact of smoking on periodontitis according to the number of cigarette consumed and the level of nicotine dependence. These nomograms might be also used for supporting smoking cessation. In smoker patients with periodontitis, there is a need to predict, for both patient and clinicians, the impact of the number of cigarettes consumed and the level of nicotine dependence on probing depth after oral hygiene instructions and debridement. Two nomograms are proposed for prognostic purposes.

    Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hand is a common painful musculoskeletal disorder with no cure. There is a need for an efficient and safe treatment to relieve OA pain. To investigate the effects of a Curcuma longa and Boswellia serrata food supplement in addition to standard care on hand pain. This open-label, non-controlled, post-observational study was based on 232 patients suffering from hand pain with or without joint deformity. Patients received a medical prescription for a three-month treatment with a food supplement containing 89 mg of C. longa dry extract, 120 mg of B. serrata resin, and 1.8 µg vitamin D. Pain was evaluated on a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS). The number of painful hand joints, patient satisfaction, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs intake, and side effects were also recorded. Baseline pain intensity (regression coefficient ± SE: −0.19 ± 0.01, p < 0.0001) and the number of painful joints (regression coefficient ± SE: −0.022 ± 0.0029, p < 0.0001) decreased significantly throughout the 3 months treatment period. NSAIDs intake and topical drug application were significantly decreased by 64% (p < 0.0001) and 79% (p < 0.0001) after 12 weeks, respectively. Only 3/239 (1.3%) patients reported side effects probably related to the product. 80.3% were satisfied with the treatment and 75.5% wished to continue treatment. This is the first clinical trial showing that C. longa and B. serrata resin can relieve symptoms in patients with hand osteoarthritis. The study provides useful information for the design of a clinical trial including a broader population.
