Scientific Highlights No. 06/2025

In the current issue of the Straumann® Scientific Highlights newsletter, we would like to draw your attention to the latest research articles published between October and November 2025.


Editor’s choice

The editor’s choice of this issue is the article “Reverse scan body: A retrospective clinical study with 30 edentulous jaws” authored by Panos Papaspyridakos, published in Journal of Prosthodontics. The authors evaluated the accuracy of fit of full-arch zirconia prostheses fabricated using a fully digital workflow with extraoral scanning with the reverse scan body protocol. They report that all the prostheses showed accurate clinical and radiographic fit, confirming that full-arch zirconia prostheses can be reliably fabricated using extraoral scanning with the reverse scan-body protocol.

Studies presented in this edition:

  • Reverse scan body: A retrospective clinical study with 30 edentulous
  • Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization Without Guided Bone Regeneration or Connective Tissue Grafting: A Case Report
  • Full Mouth Rehabilitation of a Rare Case of Hypodontia: A Case
