Prosthesis, Volume 6, Issue 2

(1) Background: Since new intraoral scanner (IOS) versions are introduced to the market and software continues to advance, there is an ongoing need to assess the accuracy of newer IOS models. (2) Methods: Four types of IOSs and one laboratory scanner...

The use of 3D-printed highly porous titanium acetabular cups in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasing. The porosity and mechanical properties of such highly porous titanium structures mimic those of natural cancellous bone, possibly allowing bio...

Dental implant utilization has emerged as a contemporary strategy for rectifying dental arch anomalies. However, the effective management of potential complications is paramount. Peri-implantitis, characterized by inflammation and bone resorption aro...

Background: With the growing use of dental implants, there is an urgent need to determine a prosthetic placement protocol by assessing implant stability and monitoring healing. Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) values are produced using dental non-inv...

The number of people with diabetes is rising day-by-day, which also raises the incidence of diabetic ulcers, sensation loss in the foot’s plantar area, and in extreme instances, amputations. Using customized shoes, unloading orthoses, insoles,...

Pressed lithium disilicate is largely used for veneer manufacturing, but a new block formulation has recently been released on the market. This study evaluated the clinical performance of milled lithium disilicate veneers (LiSi Block, GC Co., Tokyo,...

Restorative dentistry is the repairing of damaged teeth and restoring oral health and function. Dental implants are typically placed within the cortical bone of the jaw to provide stability and support for prosthetic restorations. The successful rest...

In dental implant insertion, an artificial foundation is prepared for the prosthetic device, which involves the surgical positioning of the implant in the jaw bone. The success of dental implants relies on the osseointegration process. The biomechani...

This review article aims to provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the latest trends in adult upper limb prostheses, specifically targeting various amputation levels such as transradial, transmetacarpal, transcarpal, and transhumeral. A sys...

The literature shows evidence of the mechanical investigation of numerous polymeric dental biomaterials using a static approach. A more representative mechanical analysis of such materials must take into account the dynamic masticatory load of the or...

Background: Patients with edentulism often have an impaired functional, phonetic, and esthetic status, resulting in poor quality of life; hence, the mandibular overdenture has been considered the standard implant treatment for such patients. Therefor...

Objective: To train a machine-learning (ML) algorithm to classify stumbling in transfemoral amputee gait. Methods: Three subjects completed gait trials in which they were induced to stumble via three different means. Several iterations of ML algorith...

The arrangement of a stress breaker in the pier abutment of a fixed-mobile bridge affects the deformations that may occur in its supports. This article aims to study the most appropriate position and arrangement of a stress breaker. To verify the est...
