Prosthesis, Volume 6, Issue 4

Purpose: This study evaluates and compares the effect of printing layer thickness (LT) and post-polymerization time (PPT) on the flexural strength and hardness of three 3D-printed resins after thermal aging. Methods: A bar shape (64 × 10 ×...

Purpose: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the physical and antimicrobial properties of provisional resin modified with two different nanoparticles, namely, silicon dioxide (nano-SiO₂) and titanium dioxide (nano-TiO₂). Methods: A comm...

Photogrammetry (PG) appeared as an alternative for multiple implant impressions. Stereo-photogrammetry is a more sophisticated alternative to PG, which estimates the 3D coordinates of the points of an object, making the process quicker and more preci...

After tooth loss, particularly in the posterior maxilla, the alveolar ridges undergo bone resorption. Therefore, ensuring the appropriate quantity and quality of alveolar bone is crucial for accurate implant positioning and achieving optimal esthetic...

Robotic-assisted hip and knee arthroplasty represents significant advancements in orthopedic surgery. Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven chatbots, such as ChatGPT, could play a significant role in healthcare education. This study aims to evaluate th...

This study aims to assess the impact of occlusal loadings on peri-implant bone loss by measuring the cantilever of each implant and evaluating the occlusal pattern using PRESCALE^® and to examine the relationship between occlusal overload and peri...

This study compares the clinical performances of two lithium disilicate (Initial LiSi press vs. Initial LiSi Block, GC Corp.) and a 3D printed resin (Temp Print, GC Corp.) partial crown using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) evalu...

Background: Dental implant rehabilitation has significantly advanced prosthodontics by providing a reliable, long-lasting solution for missing teeth. This systematic review compares the clinical, technical, and biological outcomes of cemented versus...

Contemporary dental treatments have to evaluate not only the biological and functional needs of each single case but also the increasing esthetic demand of patients [...]

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for poliomyelitis patients is controversial due to its higher complication rate compared with that of TKA for osteoarthritis. In this study we evaluated the results, at a minimum of 10 years, of a consecutive...

Despite their emerging use, the in vivo behaviour of dual-mobility (DM) total hip replacements (THRs) is not well understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the articulating surfaces of 20 early-retrieved DM polyethylene liners (m...

Dental rehabilitation with implants is a clinical reality in clinical practice. The Interproximal Contact Loss (ICL) between implant-supported prostheses adjacent to natural teeth is a relatively common occurrence. This systematic review and meta-ana...

Hip replacement surgery is increasingly being performed on older patients, raising the risk of periprosthetic proximal femur fractures (PPFFs). While the impact of surgery timing on mortality in proximal femoral fractures is established, its effect o...

The main objectives of the present prospective clinical study were to evaluate the survival and success rates of implant-supported zirconia single crowns fabricated with a full digital workflow for the rehabilitation of mono- and bilateral agenesis o...

In June 2024, at the European Congress of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology (ECDMFR) in Germany, the first-ever magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system dedicated to dentistry was introduced [...]

Background: Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as three-dimensional (3D) printing, use digital models from computer-aided design to produce 3D objects. They are frequently employed in different areas of dentistry, such as orthodontics, oral impl...

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in reconstructive implant dentistry [...]

Background: Complete dentures should withstand occlusal forces and wear. However, over time, dentures can suffer fatigue and develop cracks, chipping, and fractures. Conventional methods for the fabrication of complete dentures involve injection mold...

Registries have significant roles in assessing the comparative performance of devices. Ideally, early identification of outliers should use a time-to-event outcome while reducing the confounding effects of other components in the device and patient c...

The ankle joint is pivotal in prosthetic feet, especially in Energy-Storing-and-Releasing feet, favoured by individuals with moderate to high mobility (K3/K4) due to their energy efficiency and simple construction. ESR feet, mainly designed for sagit...
