The effect of short implants placed in the posterior region on tilted implants in the 'All-On-Four' treatment concept: a three-dimensional finite element stress analysis.

This study aims to investigate the impact of a short implant placed behind the mental foramen with the all-on-four treatment concept using the three-dimensional (3D) finite element stress analysis (FEA). Six different finite element analysis models were designed according to tilted implant angle (17° and 30°), presence of short implants, and short implant diameter (4.1 mm and 4.

Effects of Combining Plasma Rich in Growth Factors with Different Bone Grafts on Early Bone Healing: An Experimental Study.

Purpose: To histologically and radiographically investigate the effect of plasma rich in growth factor (PRGF) mixed with bone grafts on ossification in the early period.

Materials And Methods: A total of 12 New Zealand male rabbits (weighing between approximately 2.5 to 3 kg) were included in this study.

Is induced membrane technique effective in reconstruction of mandibular segmental bone defects? An experimental study.

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different graft materials using induced membrane technique for reconstruction of mandibular segmental bone defects. New Zealand rabbits were used as the experimental animal. As first-stage surgical procedure, segmental bone defects were created at the lower border of the mandibula in all groups.

Efficacy of Extracorporeal Shockwaves Therapy on Peripheral Nerve Regeneration.

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effects of different doses and methods of extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT) on the sciatic nerve regeneration of rat model using unbiased quantitative stereological techniques and to know which method and dose were effective.

Methods: Twenty-five Wistar albino rats were used in the experiment. All animals were randomly divided into 5 groups.
