OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) on osseointegration of dental implants with low primary stability in a beagle dog model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Customized titanium implants that were designed to have low contact with the existing bone were installed into the edentulous mandible of beagle dogs. To degrade the primary stability...

The origin of analcite-bearing lavas and potassic volcanic rocks is controversial in the geological record. Two main hypotheses are either primary analcite or replacement pseudomorphous of leucite. Spectacular large (5 cm) euhedral trapezohedra occur as single crystals of analcite in tephriphonolite lavas from Nadik area. Based on the following evidences the large analcite trapezohedra from Nad...

voltage stability issues are growing challenges in many modern power systems. this paper proposes optimizing the size and location of static var compensator (svc) devices using a fuzzy weighted seeker optimization algorithm (fwsoa), as an effective solution to overcome such issues. although the primary purpose of svc is bus voltage regulation, it can also be useful for voltage stability enhance...

background: primary stability is an important factor for the clinical success of orthodontic mini-screws. the present study made an attempt to evaluate the effect of insertion angle changes on the maximum insertion and removal torque of orthodontic mini-screws. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 72 mini-screws (dual top anchor system, jeil, 1.6 mm diameter, 8 mm length) were use...

BACKGROUND The attainment of a good primary stability is a necessary condition to ensure the success of osseointegration in implantology. In type IV cancellous bone, however, it is possible that a reduced primary stability can lead to an increased rate of failure. The aim of this study was therefore to determine, with the help of the resonance frequency (Osstell mentor), which technique of impl...

An interaction form is an abstract model of interaction based on a description of power distribution among agents over alternatives. A solution known as the settlement set is defined at any preference profile. Necessary and sufficient conditions for stability, that is the existence of settlements, are established. A Stability Index that plays a role similar to that of the Nakamura Number is def...

OBJECTIVES To assess the predictability of implant stability assessment either clinically or by resonance frequency analysis (RFA). MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective case series study evaluated 4114 consecutive SLA Straumann implants in two private clinics. Primary stability was classified in four categories, depending on the degree of implant rotation when tightening the healing cap: A (...
