Prosthesis, Volume 7, Issue 1

Introduction: Generally, after an oral oncological therapeutic process in which, unfortunately, surgery plays a fundamental role, a reconstructive and rehabilitative procedure should be initiated, seeking as far as possible to recover the patient&rsq...

Background/Objectives: The increasing demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA), due to aging populations and active lifestyles, necessitates advancements in implant materials and design. This review evaluates the role of surface coatings in enhancing...

Objectives: The study’s objective was to evaluate the accuracy of dynamic computer-assisted surgical implant placement systems during practical training on fresh defrozen cephali. Methods: Three defrozen cephali with terminal dentition received...

Objectives: This study evaluates the effectiveness of laser surface texturing (LST) using a Surface Transition Machine (STM) on pre-sintered zirconia, comparing its impact on surface characteristics and shear bond strength (SBS) with resin cement to...

Background: The optimum bond strength of glass fiber posts can be compromised; it has not yet been established which final irrigant, when used in combination with luting cement, can improve this bond strength. Objectives: This study assessed the effe...

Introduction: Upper limb deficiencies pose a series of challenges, and current traditional prosthetic solutions often come with limitations and high costs. This is particularly true for sports applications, leading to a high percentage of people with...

This scoping review aims to provide comprehensive evidence on methods used to assess the accuracy and acceptance of three-dimensional (3D)-printed removable partial dentures (RPDs). An electronic search of English language literature from January 201...

The present study describes the case of a severe surgical complication in a 42-year-old female patient undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery for the correction of skeletal class III, where a detachment of the surgical plates and fibrous healing...

Background/Objectives: A cam-driven hydraulic prosthetic ankle was designed to overcome the weaknesses of commercial prostheses and research prototypes, which largely fail to mimic the energy-recycling behaviour of an intact ankle, resulting in poor...

Background/Objectives: International guidelines recommend the use of orthoses in subjects with cerebral palsy (CP), even though there is limited evidence of their effectiveness. Little is known about their effectiveness in children and adolescents wi...

Background/Objectives: “Hermes” is an ankle–foot orthosis (AFO) with negative stiffness designed to mechanically compensate the symptomatic increase in plantarflexion (PF) torque (i.e., ankle joint torque resistance to dorsiflexion,...

Background/Objectives: Integrated design and simulation solutions enable the manufacturing of advanced personalized orthotics that improve patients gait characteristics and balance. The success of such a rehabilitation approach is highly dependent on...

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical performance of BioHPP^® (Biocompatible High-Performance Polymer) superstructures in full-arch implant-prosthetic rehabilitations following the Toronto-Branemark protocol, focusing on biomechanical and biologica...

Background/Objectives: Primary stability is an important factor for dental implant success, and a high insertion torque (IT) is recommended in cases where an immediate load is required or desired. At the same time, some authors have claimed that it c...

Background/Objectives: This study investigates stress distribution in cancellous bone during pilot drilling for dental implants using the Cowper–Symonds model. Understanding the biomechanical effects of drilling parameters on bone health is ess...

Background: With the growing demand for sustainable dental practices, chitosan has evolved as an eco-friendly disinfectant for polyether impressions. Objectives: The present study investigated the disinfectant efficacy of chitosan on the dimensional...

Background: Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology is becoming a more significant means of providing prosthodontic treatment due to its impact on clinical performance and patient outcomes. It has been integrated into...

This study aims to analyze the precision and amount of dental tissue removed during overlay preparation by experienced and less experienced operators, with and without magnification systems. Methods: Sixty-four first upper molar Frasaco Typodonts wer...

Background: Chronic lumbopelvic pain is often linked to sacroiliac joint dysfunction, where the joint’s complex structure and biomechanics complicate diagnosis and treatment. Variability in load distribution and ligament stabilization within th...

Background: Prostheses are becoming more advanced and biomimetic with time, providing additional capabilities to their users. However, prosthetic sensation lags far behind its natural limb counterpart, limiting the use of sensory feedback in prosthet...

(1) Background: The use of tumor megaprostheses faces challenges, but the published series are typically small and offer limited solutions. Our aim was to compile a large series; describe patient profiles and surgical techniques; analyze prosthetic s...

Objectives: Among modern metal-free materials, zirconia, a high-performance ceramic material that can only be manufactured through CAM procedures, has certainly exponentially gained popularity thanks to its mechanical strength, biocompatibility, esth...
