    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the suitability, accuracy, and reliability of a non-invasive 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging technique (3 T-MRI) for the visualization of maxillary sinus grafts in comparison to conventional, X-ray-based, established standard imaging techniques.
    Methods: A total of eight patients with alveolar bone atrophy who required surgical sinus floor augmentation in the course of dental implantation were included in this pilot study. Alongside pre-operative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), 3 T-MRI was performed before and 6 months after sinus floor augmentation. Two investigators measured the maxillary sinus volume preoperatively and after bone augmentation.
    Results: In all cases, MRI demonstrated accurately the volumes of the maxillary sinus grafts. Following surgery, the bony structures suitable for an implant placement increased at an average of 4.89 cm
    Conclusion: In this preliminary study, we could demonstrate the feasibility of MRI bone volume measurement as a radiation-free alternative with comparable accuracy to CT/CBCT before procedures like sinus floor augmentation. Nevertheless, costs and artifacts, also present in MRI, have to be taken into account. Larger studies will be necessary to justify the practicability of MRI bone volume evaluation.

    Abstract A preliminary clinical report of implant placements with 2 immersive reality technologies is described: augmented reality with head mounted display and mixed reality with a tablet PC. Both immersive realities are promising and could facilitate innovative dental applications. However, mixed reality requires further development for clinical optimization.

    Abstract Purpose: To explore relevant parameters and investigate their test-retest reliability within the scope of the push button task of the Task-oriented Arm-hAnd Capacity (TAAC) measured in children with unilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP).
    Methods: 118 children diagnosed with unilateral CP, aged between 6 and 18 years, participated in this study. Thetest-retest reliability of the force generated during the push button task of the TAAC was investigated using an intraclass correlation (ICC) two-way random model with absolute agreement. The ICCs were calculated across the whole age group and for two separate age subgroups (6-12 and 13-18 years).
    Results: Test-retest reliability of the parameters "mean peak force of all attempts", "overshoot of force", "number of successful attempts" and "time to complete four successful attempts" were moderate to good (ICC range 0.667-0.865; 0.721-0.908; 0.733-0.817, respectively).
    Conclusions: The results showed moderate to good test-retest reliability for all parameters. The parameters "mean peak force" and "number of successful attempts" are the most relevant parameters, as these parameters are task-specific and the most functional for clinical practice.Implications for RehabilitationClinical relevant information about the use of task-oriented strength during the performance of daily activity has been added to strength measurements in children with Cerebral Palsy.The Task-oriented Arm-hAnd Capacity instrument is a reliable, objective and simple instrument to measure task-oriented strength during daily activity and is ready for use in a clinical setting.The Task-oriented Arm-hAnd Capacity instrument is both a capacity and performance-based test.The measurement with the push button task showed moderate to good test-retest reliability.

    Abstract Purpose: Analog and digital impressions are established procedures for restoration of single-tooth implants. In this study, single-tooth implants were restored with definitive restorations during second-stage surgery. Analog and digital workflows were compared.
    Material and methods: Eighty single-tooth implants were examined in total. In 40 implants, an index was taken immediately after implant placement using composite resin to fabricate the final crowns (analog workflow). For the other 40 single-tooth implants, intraoral intraoperative scans were performed (digital workflow) during primary surgery. The custom-fabricated screw-retained crowns were placed during second-stage surgery. Photographs and examinations for the scores were taken at the time of the follow-up visit, 1-4 years after placement of the crowns. The number of treatment appointments required was recorded and the modified pink esthetic score (PES) was determined. Additionally, the functional implant prosthetic score (FIPS) was measured.
    Results: The mean PES was 12.15/14 for the digital workflow and 11.95/14 for the analog workflow. The most common deficit was incomplete papillae for both workflows. Three treatment appointments were required for both workflows: (1) Scan and/or impressions making and patient consent, (2) implant placement, and (3) second-stage surgery with crown insertion. The FIPS was 9.1/10 for the digital workflow group and 9.2/10 for the analog workflow group. Common deficits presented as missing papillae as well as open approximal contacts. The FIPS was not significantly different between workflows (p = 0.679). The PES also did not show a statistically significant difference for both workflows (p = 0.654), however, the analog workflow showed better values for the papillae (p < 0.05). A significant difference was also found in the other PES values, with the digital workflow showing better results here (p < 0.05). A chronological analysis of the results of the digital technique showed that the cases treated last had significantly better values than the cases treated first.
    Conclusions: According to the results of this study, both workflows allowed placement of the definitive crowns on single-tooth implants during second-stage surgery. Both workflows were found to be equivalent in terms of esthetic results in this study, although the digital workflow demonstrated a learning curve.

    Abstract Although systematic reviews are considered as central components in evidence-based practice, they currently face an important challenge to keep up with the exponential publication rate of clinical trials. After initial publication, only a minority of the systematic reviews are updated, and it often takes multiple years before these results become accessible. Consequently, many systematic reviews are not up to date, thereby increasing the time-gap between research findings and clinical practice. A potential solution is offered by a living systematic reviews approach. These types of studies are characterized by a workflow of continuous updates which decreases the time it takes to disseminate new findings. Although living systematic reviews are specifically designed to continuously synthesize new evidence in rapidly emerging topics, they have also considerable potential in slower developing domains, such as rehabilitation science. In this commentary, we outline the rationale and required steps to transition a regular systematic review into a living systematic review. We also propose a workflow that is designed for rehabilitation science.
