Survival Rate, Biomechanical Complications, and Patient Satisfaction of Implant-Supported FRC Full-Arch Prostheses: A Retrospective Study with Follow up of 5 Years.

Statement Of The Problem: The satisfaction of patients with dentures on implants has different points of view that become fundamental aspects for the development of research on the quality of life of these patients, the eventual biomechanical complications to which these prostheses and implants can be subjected, and design considerations for cantilever extensions.

Purpose: The objective of research was to assess the implants and prosthesis survival rates, biomechanical complications relative to the length of the distal extensions (cantilevers), and the satisfaction of the patients with a fixed implant-supported full-arch fiber-reinforced composites prosthesis.

Materials And Method: A retrospective clinical and radiographic cohort study was developed.

Potential of combined red and near-infrared photobiomodulation to mitigate pro-osteoclastic and inflammatory gene expression in human mandibular osteogenic cells.

Appropriate regeneration of jawbone after dental or surgical procedures relies on the recruitment of osteoprogenitor cells able to differentiate into matrix-producing osteoblasts. In this context, photobiomodulation (PBM) has emerged as promising therapy to improve tissue regeneration and to facilitate wound healing processes. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of PBM on human osteoprogenitor cells isolated from mandibular trabecular bone.

Giant submandibular sialolith: a case report.

Introduction: Salivary glands lithiasis (Sialolithiasis) is defined as calcified concretions in the salivary glands. Most common localization is in submandibular gland. Usually, submandibular stones are mainly located in Wharton's duct, whereas parotid stones are more often located in the gland parenchyma.

Mechanical Characteristics, Testing, and Future Perspective of Nickel-Titanium Rotary Instruments.

The main drawback of several studies is the limited analysis performed for the comparison of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems. Most often, research articles in this area are focalized on the static characteristics such as static cyclic fatigue, torsional loads, and flexibility, not considering their reciprocal interaction and all dynamic factors. Recent evidence in the literature defines the reciprocal interaction between these parameters as a fundamental element in the study of their mechanical characteristics.
