STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Unlike screw-retention type, fixture-abutment retention in Locking taper connection depends on frictional force so it has possibility of abutment to sink. PURPOSE In this study, Bicon® Implant System, one of the conical internal connection implant system, was used with applying loading force to the abutments connected to the fixture. Then the amount of sinking was measure...

objectives : this finite element method study aimed to compare the amount of stress on an isolated mandibular second premolar in two conventional reciprocal parallel interface designs of removable partial dentures (rpds) and the same rpd abutment tooth (not isolated). materials and methods: a kennedy class 1, modification 1 rpd framework was simulated on a 3d model of mandible with three differ...

Scour around hydraulic structures is an inevitable phenomenon . Recognition of this phenomenon and dealing with it is an issue considering which will ensure the project success . Local scour at piers has been reported as the most important factor in the destruction of the bridges . The use of submerged and non-submerged piles is one of the scour control methods . Submerged piles have been rarel...

The 1-piece, implant-supported abutment and crown, colloquially described as the UCLA abutment, commonly is used to fabricate single, screw-retained crowns. This abutment was designed to allow attachment of the crown directly to the implant and requires a waxing and casting procedure by a laboratory technician. A new prefabricated abutment has been developed that uses a similar approach but doe...

The aim of this study was to investigate the marginal fit of posterior fixed partial dentures (FPDs) made with 2 computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture systems--Procera Bridge Zirconia (Nobel Biocare) and Lava AllCeramic System (3M ESPE)--and to analyze the differences between abutments and between buccal and lingual surfaces. Twenty standardized specimens were prepared to receive ...

본 연구는 신축이음장치를 설치하지 않고 상부구조와 교대를 일체화하는 무조인트 교량의 거동해석에 대한 것이다. 선행연구에서는 민감도 해석을 통해 최적 수치해석 모들은 상대오차에 의한 변위 형상의 유사성과 정밀도를 유지하면서 실용적인 shell 요소 기반 모델이 가장 적합한 것으로 판단하였다. 따라서 연구에서는 모델과 solid 모델간의 벽체 깊이별 거동 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 MIDAS Civil과 ABAQUS를 사용하여 해석 프로그램간 비교를 하였다. 반일체식 교대 교량인 A 교와 B 교의 경우 선형 스프링 조건인 Case 1, +30°C의 지반반력으로 인해 깊이가 깊어질수록 변위가 감소하였다. -30°C의 경우는 지반반력이 작용하지 않으므로 변화가 미소하였다. 완전일체식 C 흉벽일체식 D 말뚝의 저...

This paper investigates the effect of different geometries approach embankments and guides banks on flow pattern bed shear stress values in skewed bridges compound channel using three-dimensional numerical modelling. First, model was evaluated based results existing laboratory studies. After ensuring its proper performance, elliptical guide bank three types abutments: vertical-wall, spill-throu...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to observe and compare any loosening of screws attaching several interchangeable abutments to internally connected implants after cyclic loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four different abutment groups mated with Straumann single-stage transmucosal implants (n = 7 each group) were assessed: Straumann solid abutment, Restore COC abutment, Neoplant solid abutm...
