FEM Analysis of Mandibular Prosthetic Overdenture Supported by Dental Implants: Evaluation of Different Retention Methods.

Prosthetic rehabilitation of total edentulous jaws patients is today a common technique that clinicians approach in their daily practice. The use of dental implants for replacing missing teeth is going to be a safe technique and the implant-prosthetic materials give the possibility of having long-term clinical success. Aim of this work is to evaluate the mechanical features of three different prosthetic retention systems.

A 2009 cross-sectional survey of procedures for post-mortem management of highly infectious disease patients in 48 isolation facilities in 16 countries: data from EuroNHID.

Purpose: The handling of human remains may pose a risk for transmission of highly infectious agents. The use of appropriate biosafety measures is very important in case of management of patients deceased from highly infectious diseases (HIDs), such as Ebola virus disease. This paper presents the capabilities and resources in this field in 16 European countries, and suggests indications for the safe post-mortem management of HID patients.

FEM and Von Mises analyses of different dental implant shapes for masticatory loading distribution.

The rehabilitation of edentulous patients is today a challenge for the clinicians. The healthy of the hard and soft issue may be considered a fundamental element for having long-term results. The dental implant progresses about the predictable and safe results made this technique chosen from a large group of practitioners.

[Communicating the benefits and risks of vaccination: a focus on the PFCC (Patient and Family Centered Care) approach].

In recent years an important reduction in the access to vaccination was noticed in Italy. Health care workers involved in health promotion must necessarily find new strategies to overcome the mistrust of the population. The application of some instruments of counselling in the vaccination field can improve the therapeutic alliance, making users to take the best decisions for their own wellness.
