The mouthguard for sports is capable of protecting the implant/crown complex when there is a frontal impact? Responding with finite element analisys.

The present data contribute to the specialties of Sports Dentistry and Implantology, offering scientific evidence of the importance of a mouthguard to provide the best protection for athletes rehabilitated with dental implants.

Comparison of Locked Plates and Blade Plates for Varus Osteotomy of the Proximal Femur by the Finite Element Method.

 The present study compared the difference in load and pressure distribution behavior of the blade plate and locked plate for varus osteotomy of the proximal femur per the finite element method.  Modeling was performed by scanning a medium-sized left femur with medial valgus deformity made of polyurethane.  The stiffness of the locked plate is higher compared with that of the blade plate.
