STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The choice of single-molar implant design is difficult because of a lack of controlled, quantitative biomechanical analyses. PURPOSE This study determined the effect of 3 single-molar implant designs on implant strains under a variety of homologous loading conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS On each implant abutment, 4 strain gauges were placed axially at 90 degrees to eac...

Dental implants are widely used now-a-days for rehabilitation of partial & complete edentulous. Although many literatures regarding dental implant reported to have long term success rate, failure of dental implant is not uncommon.Peri-implant disease is characterized by an inflammatory reaction in the tissues surrounding an implant. Peri-implant disease should be diagnosed & treated as soon as ...

o bjective : increased levels of oxidative stress markers in periodontitis have been reported by recent studies. malondialdehyde (mda) and superoxide dismutase (sod) are both in- creased during oxidative stress. the aim of this study was to detect and measure the level of oxidative stress markers in peri-implant crevicular fluid (picf). their correlation with peri-implant clinical parameters wa...

cochlear implantation has become an increasingly common procedure in the rehabilitation of selected cases of profound deafness.' patients should have profound total bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. sound is transformed into small electric currents which stimulate the auditory nerves in the cochlea and generate the hearing sensation. the nucleus cochlear implant is the result of more t...

a forty two years old woman with a history of bilateral breast augmentation for cosmetic reasons was presented for poor healing of the surgical site. tissue and periprosthetic fluid were removed from the wound site revealing an atypical lymphoid infiltrate. subsequently the patient developed axillary lymph adenopathy. excisional biopsy was performed. flow cytometry was non-diagnostic. she conti...

background and aim: this article carries out a literature review of the quality and limitations of the narrative-based language intervention (nbli) for preschool and school-age hearing aided and cochlear implanted children. recent findings: the authors conducted a comprehensive search of electronic databases such as web of science, scopus, pubmed, google scholar, cochrane, and proquest from 198...

Implant-related infection is a difficult problem in orthopaedics as it not only leads to failure internal fixation, but also increases the financial burden and perioperative risk on patients. In past, orthopaedic implants were designed mechanical fixation devices simply maintain biological properties, regulate surrounding microenvironment. More recently, antimicrobial biocoatings have been inco...
