Implant-Supported Prostheses in the Edentulous Mandible: Biomechanical Analysis of Different Implant Configurations via Finite Element Analysis.

This study explores the implant-supported prosthetic treatment alternatives of the edentulous mandible from a biomechanical point of view by means of a Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Finite element (FE) models were used to simulate cases treated with six, five, and four, implants and a fixed prosthesis with a cantilever. In the four implant treatments, three cases were analyzed; the posterior implants were placed in axial positions, angled at 30° and 45°.

Influence of Implant Tilting and Length on the Biomechanics of Single-Tooth Restoration: A Finite Element Analysis in Atrophic Mandible.

The aim of the present study is to assess by means of finite element models the effect on bone stresses of implant length and tilting in single-unit implant restorations. The factors that were analyzed in this study were implant length (4.5, 5.

Influence of Dental Implant Diameter and Bone Quality on the Biomechanics of Single-Crown Restoration. A Finite Element Analysis.

Background: Success of an implant-supported prosthesis is highly dependent on implant diameter and bone quality. The objective of this study is to assess these two variables under axial or 30° angulated loading.

Methods: The study was conducted using finite element model simulations of dental implants with an unchanging length of 6.

Validation of a new domiciliary diagnosis device for automatic diagnosis of patients with clinical suspicion of OSA.

Background And Objective: Obstructive sleep apnoea is a prevalent and considerably underdiagnosed disease. The development of cost-effective, home-based, automatic diagnostic devices to improve the diagnosis accessibility is therefore essential.

Methods: In this study, a new portable polygraph (BTI-APNiA) was used to validate automatic scoring.
