The objective of this retrospective clinical study was to investigate the survival rates and complications of implant (I)-retained or tooth-implant (TI)-retained prostheses and abutments (teeth, impla...
We reviewed the clinical data of 110 nonsmokers (mean age = 53.9 years) who received DC-RDPs in maxillary or mandibular arches. 153 teeth and 508 implants were used to restore partially edentulous (PE...
The 10-year survival rates were 99.3% (95% CI: 95.4-99.9%) for teeth and 99.3% (95% CI: 97.5-99.7%) for implants. The cumulative rates of TI- and I-RDPs free of technical complications were 77% and 86...
I- and TI-DC-RDPs seem to be recommendable for restoration of CE or PE arches. The technical and biological complication rates were lower for I-DC-RDPs in the CE arches than for TI-DC-RDPs in the PE a...
This study aims to explore the biomechanical performance of implant-retained finger prostheses of different lengths and diameters designed specifically for Asians under external loads from different d...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the fatigue behavior of strength-graded zirconia polycrystals used as monolithic three-unit implant-supported prosthesis; complementarily, crystalline phase and m...
Maxillofacial prostheses provide effective rehabilitation of complex facial defects as alternatives to surgical reconstruction. Although facial prostheses provide aesthetically pleasing reconstruction...
A literature review was completed using PubMed and Embase databases, with search phrases including face and maxillofacial prostheses. Patient cases are included to illustrate the use of facial prosthe...
The clinical use of facial prostheses requires a multidisciplinary team including a reconstructive surgeon, a maxillofacial prosthodontist, and an anaplastologist, if available, to provide patients wi...
Facial prostheses can be used to reconstruct complex facial defects, and bone-anchored prostheses are associated with high patient satisfaction. Multiple barriers prevent prostheses from being used fo...
Mechanical testing machines are used to evaluate kinematics, kinetics, wear, and efficacy of spinal implants. The simulation of "physiological" spinal loading conditions necessitates the simultaneous ...
This paper presents the development of an intelligent soft-sensor system to add haptic perception to the underactuated hand prosthesis PrHand. Two sensors based on optical fiber were constructed, one ...
A descriptive qualitative study was conducted among 30 EDPs attending dental prosthetic clinics (DPCs) at the four centres in Fiji and 28 DPs at the four DPCs under purposive sampling. Semi-structured...
Five themes were identified as perceptions of EDPs towards care and maintenance of CDP in Fiji: patient perceptions towards CDP, CDP care and maintenance, communication between DPs and EDPs, challenge...
Patients' perception towards care and maintenance of CDP was low. It is highly recommended for EDPs to adhere to CDP advice given by DPs whilst for DPs, it had been recommended to provide written, ora...
This study proposes a new hybrid multi-modal sensory feedback system for prosthetic hands that can provide not only haptic and proprioceptive feedback but also facilitate object recognition without th...
Endoprosthetic reconstruction of the pelvic bone using 3D-printed, custom-made implants has delivered early load-bearing ability and good functional outcomes in the short term to individuals with pelv...
Previous investigators have noted an increased risk of crestal bone loss and failure of the middle implant of 3-implant-splinted (3-IS) fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). Possible causes have included il...
We identified four cases in which the middle implant of a 3-IS multiunit FDP suffered advanced bone loss, ultimately leading to implant removal. While more than one possible risk for implant failure e...
Splinting three adjacent implants into one prosthesis may add risk for a variety of reasons possibly including small differences in the heights of the three prosthetic tables....
Why are these cases new information? Our observations suggest that discrepancies between implant prosthetic platforms supporting 3-implant splinted, multiunit FDPs may be an added risk factor for midd...
