Objectives: To evaluate published evidence related to bone reactions to varying loading regimens and the impact of implant design on bone tissue differentiation.
Data And Sources: The literature was searched for original research articles relating effect of mechanical environment on bone tissue and effects of implant design on bone biomechanics and marginal bone reactions using MEDLINE and manual tracing of references cited in key papers otherwise not elicited.
Study Selection: Current literature on biomechanics of bone and dental implants as main focus and pertinent to key aspects of the review.
Conclusions: Implant design influences force transmission characteristics in peri-implant bone, but not the time-dependent marginal bone reactions. Mechanical signals affect bone tissue differentiation. Therefore, it is essential to control biomechanical loads on implants to maintain osseointegration and/or to promote early bone-implant interface healing.

Objective: This study aimed to determine if routine dual-stage nonunion repair (DSR) surgery lead to better outcomes than single-stage nonunion (SSR) repair surgery in fracture nonunions without evident clinical or laboratory signs of infection.
Methods: Design: Retrospective comparison study.
Setting: Level One Trauma Center affiliated with an academic teaching hospital.

Functional and esthetic results require accurate implant placement. We aimed to develop a predictive method for assessing dental implant accuracy, and to evaluate the cumulative system influence of surgical guides. A mathematical model was constructed to determine the influence of surface changes on a specific point, using Jacobian matrix expressions.

Purpose: Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents are considered as safe, with a very low rate of intraocular inflammations (IOI). Faricimab is a novel intravitreal bispecific antibody targeting both VEGF-A and angiopoietin-Tie2 independently. Despite a safe profile in randomized clinical trials, several real-life studies have reported cases of IOI.

Purpose: Bone expansion is one of the quickest, simplest, and most reliable methods of alveolar ridge augmentation for implant placement. This systematic review is designed to investigate the outcomes of the bone expansion technique for horizontal ridge augmentation.
Methods: The protocol of study has been prospectively registered into PROSPERO (CRD42023414686).

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of trial versus standard clinical practice (SCP) patients following cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA).
Background: CDA is hypothesized to reduce the shear strain and related complications resulting from fusion procedures.
