Background/Objectives: Bone-anchored prostheses provide an alternative to socket prostheses, directly connecting the prosthesis to the residual limb via osseointegration. However, limited evidence exists on how spatiotemporal gait parameters and gait...
Heart valve prostheses play a key role in regulating the normal cardiac function for patients with valvular diseases, yet even slight alterations in their flow dynamics can result in serious physiological consequences. This paper provides an overview...
Background/Objectives: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is often associated with extensive bleeding and the need for intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusions. Due to concern about the risks associated with them, a push has been made in surger...
Background: 3D-printed resin composite and hybrid ceramic materials are widely used in prosthetic dentistry for their esthetic, mechanical advantages, and digital compatibility, though their surface properties may be affected by drinking habits. This...
Background/Objectives: Hand loss or severe impairment significantly reduces quality of life by restricting essential daily activities and professional tasks. Despite advances in prosthetics, challenges remain in affordability, accessibility, and usab...
Background: Bone tissue engineering has emerged as a promising technique for treating bone defects in large bones. Recent methods have enabled scaffold designs based on predefined microstructures or mechanical behavior patterns, including porosity-gr...
Background/Objectives: Interbody fusion cages provide both structural support and a biologically favorable environment for osseointegration. Through recent decades, cage design and biomaterial selection have evolved to more adapted implants in differ...
Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the laser removal of implant-supported ceramic single crowns, focusing on their efficiency and the potential reusability of the removed restorations. Methods: Sixty single crowns mad...
Background: The purpose of this systematic review is to understand the epidemiology, risk factors, reporting symptoms, and clinical presentation of denture-induced epulis fissuratum and the various management strategies reported in the literature. Me...
Background/Objectives: Dental implants are an established modality for oral rehabilitation, but their biomechanical success depends on controlling peri-implant strain, which is influenced by implant angulation, splinting, and length. This in vitro st...
Background/Objectives: Choosing the best prosthetic foot for a patient is complicated by the many available options and limited evidence to distinguish them. This work aimed to clarify performance differences in the level-ground walking of K3-functio...
Background/Objectives: The prevalence of joint replacement surgeries has significantly increased over the last century, leading to a corresponding rise in complications, particularly periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The management of a PJI invol...
