Different techniques can be used to design and manufacture a full-arch, implant-supported prosthesis, different materials chosen for its production, each with advantages limitations. One of the possibilities provided by digital tools is their ability maintain low costs give more patients chance choose this commonly expensive treatment. The present work aims protocol realization implant-fixed co...

The purpose of this literature review was to screen the valuable published articles regarding to the impacts of mini-implants on orthodontic science, briefly. The searching category was performed on the Pubmed using MeSH words such as "dental (mini) implants, orthodontic anchorage procedures, and orthodontic appliances." After preliminary sketch, they were grouped as follow: Those evaluating (a...

conclusions apc referral for elevated hba1c reduces complication rate and the incidence of prolonged hospitalization during the first year after surgery in diabetics undergoing tja. results patients (197 men, 6 women) underwent 71, 131, and 1 total hip, knee, and shoulder replacements, respectively. patients undergoing tja with uncontrolled hba1c and those with hba1c < 10%, but not those with h...

The complex mechanisms of the bone cell-surface interactions are yet to be completely understood, and researchers continue to strive to uncover the fully optimized implant material for perfect osseointegration. A particularly fascinating area of research involves the study of nanostructured surfaces, which are believed to enhance osteogenic behavior, possibly due to the mimicry of components of...

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are the advanced materials with varing properties in dimensions. These are made of two or more constituent phases with continuous and smoothly varying composition in preferred directions. The properties of material depend on the spatial position in the structure of material. These materials are gaining attention for biomedical application as biomaterials owi...

Periprosthetic fractures of the femur after total hip replacement can present some unique challenges to the treating reconstructive orthopedic surgeon. Treatment may differ depending on fracture location, bone condition, implant stability, patient characteristics, and surgeon experience. It is imperative that adequate and sufficient mechanical fixation be achieved in the treatment of these pati...

Implant-associated infections (IAIs) caused by S. aureus can result in serious challenges after orthopedic surgery. Due to biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance, this refractory infection is highly prevalent, finding drugs attenuate bacterial virulence becoming a rational alternative strategy. In aureus, the SaeRS two-component system (TCS) plays key role production of over 20 factors pat...

Total Joint Replacements (TJR) have been extremely successful over the past 50 years, restoring mobility and function to millions of people each year. However, over time these implants need replacing for a number of reasons, such as infection or increasing immune reactivity to implant debris. All implant metals degrade in vivo, and the released products biologically interact locally and systemi...
