Introduction: Some clinicians use a handheld screw driver instead of a torque wrench to definitively tighten abutment screws. The aim of this study was to compare the removal torque of one-piece and two-piece abutments tightened with a handheld driver and a torque control ratchet. Methods: 40 ITI implants were placed in acrylic blocks and divided into 4 groups. In groups one and two, 10 ITI one...

BACKGROUND/AIM Acrylic lens size and shape may influence the rate of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and need for Nd:YAG capsulotomy. The aim of this study is to compare the Nd:YAG capsulotomy rate of the three piece acrylic/PMMA AcrySof MA series lens with the one piece acrylic AcrySof SA series lens. METHODS 434 eyes of 329 patients who had cataract extraction and implantation of one ...

BACKGROUND The extent of the decentration and tilt was prospectively compared between one piece polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and three piece PMMA intraocular lenses (IOLs) which were implanted in the capsular bag after performing continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. METHODS 91 patients underwent a one piece PMMA IOL implantation in one eye as well as the implantation of the three piece PMM...

statement of problem: thermal injury during dental implant placement and restoration is a clinical concern as it may cause bone damage and compromise osseointegration. the threshold level for heat-induced cortical bone necrosis is 47°c for 60 seconds. objectives: to measure the amount of heat transferred to the implant-bone interface when a two-piece or one-piece abutment was prepared in vertic...

Different optimal designs of bogie bolster for model 18-100 freight car are examined in the article. There is an analysis existing designs. Full-fledged fatigue tests by method specified GOST 32400-2013 carried out on stand designed dynamic strength tests. The values experimental studies were compared with calculated ones, maximum loads from 735 to 755 kN. best results observed at a load 745 kN...
