In this paper, we propose an extension for a model of unsaturated soils developed by Van Genuchten (1980) and obtain thermos-hydric to study the influence temperature on water retention curve. A brief presentation is described using independent parameter modeling method. The proposed hydrometric makes it possible predict, from experimental measurements carried out drainage-humidification paths ...

PURPOSE To evaluate CAD/CAM conic crowns to obtain a reversible and predictable retention in implant-supported prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five 1- to 8-degree CAD/CAM abutments and their respective copings (n = 40) were designed and manufactured to measure the retention strength (in N) on a Zwick/Roell testing frame. RESULTS The mean retention strength values found, in descending orde...
