Article Synopsis
- Research shows that short dental implants with platform matching are useful for restoring atrophic jaws when standard implants can't be used without bone work.
- This study evaluates the risk of technical failures using finite element analysis for an all-on-4 configuration with different types of short dental implants in patients with atrophic mandibles.
- Results indicate that the straight standard implant configuration had the lowest stress values, while the tilted and shorter implants showed higher stress levels on various components and the surrounding bone.
In this work, α-AgCuWO (0 ≤ ≤ 0.16) solid solutions with enhanced antibacterial (against methicillin-resistant ) and antifungal (against ) activities are reported. A plethora of techniques (X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinements, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, micro-Raman spectroscopy, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence emissions, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) were employed to characterize the as-synthetized samples and determine the local coordination geometry of Cu cations at the orthorhombic lattice.

Materials And Methods: The All-on-4 configurations were performed in atrophic mandible models and consisted of anterior straight standard and posterior tilted standard implants (H1 model), anterior straight standard and posterior straight short implants (H2 model), and anterior and posterior straight standard implants (H3 model). Three oblique forces of 100 N were simulated in the posterior region of the prosthetic bar.
Article Synopsis
- Silver tungstate (AgWO) exists in three crystalline forms: orthorhombic (α), hexagonal (β), and cubic (γ), which were successfully synthesized using a simple ambient temperature precipitation method.
- The synthesis method relied on manipulating the volumetric ratios of silver nitrate and tungstate sodium dehydrate, while various analytical techniques were used to investigate the structural and electronic properties of the AgWO polymorphs.
- First-principles calculations provided insights into the atomic-level characteristics, and the study linked the local coordination of elements to the photocatalytic and antibacterial properties of the polymorphs against specific compounds under UV light.
Bacterial and organic pollutants are major problems with potential adverse impacts on human health and the environment. A promising strategy to alleviate these impacts consists in designing innovative photocatalysts with a wider spectrum of application. In this paper, we report the improved photocatalytic and antibacterial activities of chemically precipitated AgPO microcrystals by the incorporation of W at doping levels 0.
