Candida parapsilosis in Late Prosthetic Joint Infections Among Immunocompetent Patients: A Case Series.

Introduction: Fungal prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are very rare in immunocompetent patients. PJI can present either early, delayed, or as late chronic infections. Diagnosis of fungal PJI presenting late is challenging due to the difficulty in isolation as well as the clinical presentation very similar to an aseptic loosening.

Cruciate-retaining Arthroplasty in Patients with Severe Varus Deformity: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

Introduction: There has been debate regarding the advantages of cruciate-retaining over posterior stabilized (PS) knee arthroplasty and vice versa. Many authors consider any coronal plane deformity > 15° as a contraindication for cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. We aimed to compare whether functional outcome, deformity correction, and survivorship of cruciate retaining knee arthroplasty (CR) for severe varus deformity are equivalent to that ofposterior cruciate ligament substituting (PS) for 6 years.

Evaluation of accuracy of various impression techniques and impression materials in recording multiple implants placed unilaterally in a partially edentulous mandible- An study.

Background: Various factors like implant angulation, type of impression material and tray type affects the implant impression accuracy. To date limited studies were carried out on the implant impression accuracy of unilateral partially edentulous arches. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of 0o, 15o and 25o implant angulations on impression accuracy in simulated master casts of unilateral partially edentulous situation using different impression materials and tray selections.

A finite element study of teeth restored with post and core: Effect of design, material, and ferrule.

Background: Different postdesigns and materials are available; however, no consensus exists regarding superiority for stress distribution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of design and material of post with or without ferrule on stress distribution using finite element analysis.

Materials And Methods: A total of 12 three-dimensional (3D) axisymmetric models of postretained central incisors were made: Six with ferrule design and six without it.
