Diabetes mellitus (DM), is a metabolic disorder occurring when there is decreased production of insulin hormone or if there is poor body response to it. Type 1 DM is most common in children and adolescents and has a strong impact on their lifestyle. Conflicting evidence is available in the scientific literature on caries prevalence in children with diabetes and healthy children. Many studies have also reported higher plaque accumulation with greater gingival index scores in children with diabetes. Diabetes Mellitus plays a very noteworthy role in oral complications and therefore it becomes important for health practitioners to take good care of these children’s general and oral hygiene.

The following is a clinical case of a screw-retained prosthesis on two implants with different designs and manufacturers. A 73-year-old man visited the dentist in January 2023 to rehabilitate the edentulous right area of the mandible. In December 2018 another dentist placed implants (Biohorizons, Madrid. Spain) in positions 45 and 46 with a metal-porcelain bridge over both. In 2022 he lost implant 45 (Biohorizons tapered internal 3.8 x 9) and with it also the bridge, although he still had implant 46 (Biohorizons tapered short 4.6 x 7.5). On the day of surgery, a simple opening flap was performed and drills were used sequentially until a 4 x 8 mm Galimplant IPX implant (Sarria, Spain) was placed in position 45. After a period of four months, the impression abutments of implants 46 and 45 were attached with dental floss and flowable composite, and an open-tray impression was taken. One week later, the screwed metal-porcelain fixed prosthesis was placed on both implants. It is difficult to find bibliographic information about fixed prostheses on implants manufactured by different companies and placed in the same patient. The placement of a prosthesis on two implants from different manufacturers is not a complication, but rather an unscheduled inconvenience. The clinical case presented allows us to point out that a fixed prosthesis on implants from different manufacturers can give excellent results.

Dentistry incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a reality and not just a myth. By using machines to mimic intelligent human behaviour, AI has significantly changed the medical and dental fields. This contemporary and information-driven innovative technology is gaining worldwide popularity due to its significant impact on intelligence innovation. AI is a lifesaver in dentistry, specifically in prosthodontics, which involves the restoration and reconstruction of missing teeth using implants for permanent and removable prostheses. The technology aids in designing prostheses, fabricating functional maxillofacial appliances, patient documentation, diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient management, allowing oral healthcare professionals to work more efficiently. AI cannot, however, take the position of a dental surgeon because their work requires more than just diagnosing diseases; it also entails treating patients and correlating findings with other clinical data. A new paradigm in dentistry has emerged because of the integration of AI and digitization, with potential futures. Dental surgeons should concentrate on gathering and entering accurate data into their database for AI usage in dentistry shortly to get beyond the only obstacle to the deployment of AI, which is the availability of insufficient and inaccurate data. To diagnose problems and develop patient-specific prostheses, the present narrative review article examines numerous uses of AI in prosthodontics and oral implantology, as well as its current limitations and potential future applications.
