Objective: To study the stress distribution under dynamic loading in the presence or absence of an abutment buffer layer by using three-dimensional finite element analysis.

Methods: A three-dimensional solid geometric model of an implant in a human mandible was established on the basis of CT scan data. A buffer-free abutment prosthesis and a buffer-abutment abutment prosthesis were installed above the implant.

Purpose: To observe the effects of fluid shear stress on carbonic anhydrase II in rat osteoclasts.

Methods: Osteoclasts were subject to fluid shear stress for 0,15,30,60 and 120 minutes respectively, which was 2.9dyne/cm(2).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze how free calcium ions (Ca2+) are distributed in osteoclast-like cells grown on glass.
  • Researchers used laser scanning confocal microscopy and a fluorescent probe to visualize and measure free Ca2+ levels within the cells.
  • Results showed that free Ca2+ concentration was higher in the center of the cells compared to the edges, indicating that the uneven distribution of Ca2+ could play a role in how these cells regulate their functions.
