Background: Nylon-based removable partial dentures, such as Valplast® (Valplast International Corp, Westbury NY, USA), have been proposed as a valuable alternative to acrylic resin prostheses, particularly following oral surgical extractions and...
Background: Despite advances in myoelectric control of hand prostheses, their dropout rate remains high. Methods: We analyzed 37 features extracted from surface electromyography (sEMG) recordings from 15 participants, distributed into three groups: n...
The loss of a limb is an event that significantly affects an individual’s quality of life, with implications not only for autonomy in daily activities but also for their ability to interact with others. At the same time, current prostheses ofte...
Background: Advancements in low-cost additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence have enabled new avenues for developing accessible myoelectric prostheses. However, achieving reliable real-time control and ensuring mechanical durability remain...
Background: This scoping review systematically maps and synthesises contemporary literature on the biomechanics of active below-knee prosthetic devices, focusing on gait kinematics, kinetics, energy expenditure, and muscle activation. It further eval...
Objectives: Burn being a major traumatic issue worldwide impacts millions of lives annually. Herein, a novel xanthan dialdehyde/sodium alginate/copper-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticle (XDA/Na-ALG/Cu-MBGN) hydrogel is presented in this st...
Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of intraoral impressions obtained using the Trios 3Shape® (3Shape Trios, Copenaghen, Denmark) and Carestream CS 3600™ (Carestream Dental, Stuttgart, Germany) scanners,...
Background: The need to improve gait emulation in people with amputation has driven the development of customized prosthetic mechanisms. This study focuses on the design and validation of a mechanism for external knee joint prostheses, based on the t...
Background: Screw loosening is considered a leading mechanical complication in implant-supported restorations. Hybrid abutments, combining a titanium base with a ceramic mesostructured, were proposed to enhance stability and esthetics. Objective: We...
Background/Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in CAD/CAM workflows to address persistent challenges in restorative dentistry, including unpredictable color outcomes and time-intensive crown design steps. Yet, evidence o...
