Prosthesis, Volume 6, Issue 6

Background: Advances in prosthetic technology, especially microprocessor-controlled knees (MPKs), have helped enhance gait symmetry and reduce fall risks for individuals who have undergone transfemoral amputation. However, challenges remain in walkin...

Background: Ceramic may be an alternative bearing surface that could be used to deal with the negative sequalae associated with the use of metal-on-metal (MoM) hip resurfacing implants, keeping the benefits of hip resurfacing without the risks. The a...

The purpose of this study is to measure the positional accuracy of transfers during the splinting printing process using four biomaterials (two acrylic resins and two bis acrylic resins). Materials and Methods: A master model was constructed for the...

Objectives: This study was designed to assess the effectiveness of chitosan as a coupling agent for improving the tensile bond strength of fiber posts. Methods: A total of 91 single-rooted mandibular teeth were root canal-filled. Post spaces were cre...

Background: Complications such as periprosthetic fractures necessitate challenging revision surgeries. In particular, femoral stem revisions can be complicated by poor bone quality, making primary stability and leg length restoration difficult to ach...

Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) has undergone significant changes over the past five decades and is currently affecting an aging population, with an increasing prevalence in patients with transcatheter valve implants. The introduction of transcat...

Purpose: The effectiveness of the customised solutions compared to the conventional ones and the emergence of advanced production technologies, such as Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, strengthened the trend towards an enhanced individualizati...

Background: Flatfoot deformity is a common condition in children and teenagers that may increase the risk of knee, hip, and back pain. Most of the insoles suggested to treat flatfoot symptoms are not designed to adapt to foot temperature during walki...

Immediate loading implant surgery has emerged as a significant advancement in the rehabilitation of edentulous patients. This approach requires meticulous planning and precise execution to ensure successful outcomes. Transferring established intermax...

Background/Objectives: The potential application of electromyography (EMG) as a method for precise force control in prosthetic devices is investigated, expanding on its traditional use in gesture detection. Variability in EMG signals among individual...
