BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful therapy for functional improvement and pain relief in advanced symptomatic degeneration of the knee joint. But it can be associated with many complications, one of which is instability. CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of right knee dislocation after TKA was performed on her right knee due to se...

The aim of this study was to compare the 10-year survival rate, pelvic osteolysis frequency and linear head penetration rate of the Hexloc and Ringloc liners used together with a partially threaded porous and hydroxyapatite coated cup and the Bi-Metric uncemented femoral stem. The 15-year results for the cup with the Hexloc liner are also reported. We included 332 consecutive hips (166 Hexloc a...

PURPOSE This study was aimed to determine the effect of two chemically distinct denture cleansers and water on the surface hardness of acrylic and silicone based soft denture liners at various time intervals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two commonly used commercial resilient liner material were selected based on their chemical composition (silicone- and acrylic-based soft liners) for this investiga...

We report a complication during total hip arthroplasty using an uncemented press-fit acetabular shell and ceramic liner for a woman with osteoarthritis. Fracture of the ceramic liner occurred during its insertion owing to non-concentric reduction. The main body of the ceramic liner became wedged in the acetabular shell and was resistant to removal. The shell itself was immovable owing to the pr...

Objective: This case report aims to introduce the black triangle therapy in Miller’s Class IV gingival recession. Methods: The patient complained of spacing between upper and lower teeth causing food accumulation, “long teeth”, receding gums which were unaesthetic during speaking. Clinical examination maxillary mandibular anterior revealed Miller recession, large triangles, no tooth mobility no...

Introduction Bolus is a soft and resilient material which is used for increasing skin dose or to even out the irregular patient contour. The main property of various materials used presently as bolus is the water-equivalent electron density. Ethyl methacrylate is used as a soft-liner in dentistry and its physical and chemical properties are proved to be nontoxic for human body. The goal of this...

due to availability of proper materials in landfills (at most parts of iran especially in kahrizak) and also less expenditure of this liner in comparison with other liners it can be count as an acceptable choice. different studies imply that one of the most important factors for soil liner selection is local conditions and also liner compatibility with generated leachate in studied site. hydrau...

In the dairy industry world wide, several hundred types of liners are used to milk dairy cows. The enormous amount of liner types with different characteristics in size, form, consistency and other design and manufacturing characteristics indicate that no ‘best’ liner has been identified in the last 60 or so years since machine milking has become the common method for milk harvesting. Mechanica...

Elastomeric liners are commonly worn between the prosthetic socket and limb. A number of improvements to state art liner technology required address outstanding problems. that conforms residuum more accurately, may improve skin health at stump-socket interface. Previous work has shown for effective thermal management environment, an active heat removal system is required, yet this not available...

We reviewed the initial post-operative radiographs of the Trident acetabulum and identified a problem with seating of the metal-backed ceramic liner. We identified 117 hips in 113 patients who had undergone primary total hip replacement using the Trident shell with a metal-backed alumina liner. Of these, 19 (16.4%) were noted to have incomplete seating of the liner, as judged by plain anteropos...
