Background: Transtibial prostheses are commonly classified as endoskeletal or exoskeletal and differ in weight, adaptability, and mechanical response, which may influence gait performance. This study examined whether prosthesis type affects overgroun...
In implant treatment in the aesthetic zone, high aesthetic quality is required in addition to functionality and long-term stability when reconstructing defects in peri-implant tissues. Post-traumatic cases often present with extensive loss of both ha...
Objective: This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate five opportunistic respiratory pathogens among individuals, with or without dentures, who have either healthy or diseased periodontal conditions. Methods: Saliva samples were obtained from 24 old...
Aim: To develop clear, evidence-based, and standardized guidelines for the design, selection, and clinical use of implant abutments and prosthetic components in order to optimize the biological, mechanical, and esthetic performance of the implant sup...
This case report describes the esthetic and functional rehabilitation of a 45-year-old male patient presenting with a missing maxillary right lateral incisor (#12). Due to persistent insufficiency of alveolar ridge width following multiple augmentati...
Background: Accurate evaluation of pressure distribution at the socket–limb interface is essential for improving prosthetic fit and comfort in transfemoral amputees. This study aimed to develop a proof-of-concept framework that integrates machi...
Background: Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is increasingly used to enhance prosthetic control and to reduce post-amputation pain. Its implementation across new centers raises questions about the reproducibility of outcomes and the impact of surg...
Background/Objectives: Bone grafting is fundamental in oral implantology in order to achieve appropriate esthetic and functional results. One of the options for bone grafting is the use of allografts, which can be produced using femoral heads removed...
Background/Objectives: Implant-supported rehabilitations using the All-on-4 concept represent a viable treatment option for completely edentulous patients. The guided surgery software allows for the performance of a flapless computer-guided surgery w...
