Lunch Break
The problematic of certain article reviewers rejecting articles solely based on the technique used was discussed. For example, a reviewer that is against CBCT could reject all studies that are CBCT based.
Intra-oral scanning
Air force wants to identify people without getting close to them. They are interested in what clinicians are using, how accurate they are to be able to identify people quickly in extreme situations. UIC is testing a scanner by Ormco to see how it can be used for this project. Each scan takes about 7 minutes for both upper and lower arch, but when they tried, the first time it took them 1 hour but with practice 14-15 minutes for the entire mouth. Resolution is relatively high, chipping can be detected. This scanner does not require powdering. Can use scanner in wet environment, since it requires little time. It requires multiple scans off of multiple surfaces, so it can reconstruct thenetire surface in post-processing. UIC did some comparisons with iTero for rugae studies, but it's convenience is mostly based on color and size (portability).
