Article Abstract

In the esthetic zone, the placement of an interim prosthesis is an important stage in implant treatment for gingival contouring. This article presents a simple procedure for making an intraoperative implant position transfer to construct an interim prosthesis with optimal shape and emergence profile. This prosthesis, inserted at stage II surgery, guides soft tissue healing and aids in the fabrication of a definitive prosthesis with optimal gingival contours.

Background: The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is an alternative to traditional ICDs. The PRAETORIAN score, based on chest radiographs, has been validated to predict the probability of successful S-ICD defibrillation testing by assessing factors like fat thickness between the coil and sternum and generator placement.

Objective: This study evaluated the correlation between the PRAETORIAN score and clinical characteristics, as well as implantation variables.

Objectives: To assess the effect of occlusion and implant number/position on stress distribution in Kennedy Class II implant-assisted removable partial denture (IARPD).

Materials And Methods: IARPDs were designed in six models: with one implant (bone level with a platform of 4 mm and length of 10 mm) at the site of (I) canine, (II) between first and second premolars, (III) first molar, (IV) second molar, or two implants at the sites of (V) canine-first molar, and (VI) canine-second molar. A conventional RPD served as control.

Background: Ozurdex® (Allergan®, AbbVie Company, North Chicago, Illinois, EUA), is composed of 0.7 mg of dexamethasone, fused in a solid biodegradable PLGA polymer, whose degradation occurs naturally in the vitreous cavity, usually in six months after its application.

Methods: In this study, we included patients aged ≥ 18 years with one or two eyes who had an indication for Ozurdex implants.

Background: In medial mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MB-UKA), the position of the bearing does not correspond to the planned position which will increasing the risk of bearing dislocation. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the malposition of the femoral and tibial components and the phenomenon of bearing deviation using postoperative radiological measurements.

Methods: One hundred twenty patients who underwent mobile-bearing uni-compartmental knee arthroplasty (MB-UKA) at our hospital between January and August 2023 were enrolled in this retrospective study.

People with paralysis express unmet needs for peer support, leisure activities and sporting activities. Many within the general population rely on social media and massively multiplayer video games to address these needs. We developed a high-performance, finger-based brain-computer-interface system allowing continuous control of three independent finger groups, of which the thumb can be controlled in two dimensions, yielding a total of four degrees of freedom.
