Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the von Mises (vM), compressive, and tensile stresses occurring on implants, abutments, and surrounding bone using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) in three simulations in the anterior maxilla: a single titanium implant with a titanium abutment, a single titanium implant with a zirconia abutment, and a single one-piece zirconia implant.
Materials And Methods: Three types of implants (all were 4 x 12 mm) were modeled using FEA: Astra OsseoSpeed implant with titanium abutment (ATt), Astra OsseoSpeed with zirconia abutment (ATz), and White-SKY (WS) one-piece zirconia dental implant. The anterior maxillary bone was also simulated with FEA. The implants were placed into the maxillary left central incisor region. Loading was applied horizontally and obliquely and the stresses were examined.
Results: The vM and compressive stresses that occurred on the implant and cortical bone in the ATz model were lower than those seen in the ATt model. The tensile stress values observed in the abutment and cortical bone in the ATz and ATt models and all the stress values occurring in trabecular bone were similar. The stresses that occurred in the WS implant were lower than the stresses exerted on the ATt and ATz implants, except for tensile stresses under oblique loading.
Conclusion: Lower stresses occurred on the zirconia implant (WS), except for tensile stress under oblique loading. The zirconia implant generated the lowest stresses in cortical bone, and the zirconia abutment resulted in lower vM and compressive stresses than the titanium abutment in implant and cortical bone.

Background: Determining the distal cantilever length in All-on-Four (All-on-4) implant-supported prostheses is a major factor in the long-term success of these prostheses. The difference in mechanical properties of materials used in the fabrication of these prostheses, such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK), may have an impact on the determination of the cantilever length that best distributes stress.
Aim: To study the distribution of stress in All-on-4 mandibular prostheses in the bone, implants, and framework according to difference cantilever length in PEEK prosthetic framework using three-dimensional finite element analysis.
Enhancing bone regeneration through 3D printed biphasic calcium phosphate scaffolds featuring graded pore sizes.

Human long bones exhibit pore size gradients with small pores in the exterior cortical bone and large pores in the interior cancellous bone. However, most current bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds only have homogeneous porous structures that do not resemble the graded architectures of natural bones. Pore-size graded (PSG) scaffolds are attractive for BTE since they can provide biomimicking porous structures that may lead to enhanced bone tissue regeneration.

Background: Burr holes can lead to cranial defects that result in cosmetic and functional issues. Effective reconstruction of these burr holes is crucial for improving patient outcomes, yet there is no consensus on the optimal techniques and materials.
Objective: This systematic review critically evaluates the efficacy and safety of various materials used in neurosurgical practice for burr hole reconstruction.
A comprehensive methodology to assess human bone transversal toughness based on macroscopic specimens, the compliance method, and 3D bio-faithful numerical simulations.

This study proposes a method for assessing the transverse toughness of human long-bone cortical tissue. The method is based on a three-point bending test of pre-notched femur diaphysis segments, post-processed using the compliance method coupled with numerical simulations. Given the cracking nature of bone and if cracking processes remain confined to the crack tip, it is assumed that the compliance method can be used.

Objective: To evaluate the trabecular bone score (TBS) Z scores in long-distance runners with bone stress injuries (BSIs) in whom the bone mineral density (BMD) Z score is more than -1.0 (Aim 1) and whether the number of runners with abnormal TBS Z scores would be higher in those with BSI in trabecular-rich sites as compared with cortical-rich sites (Aim 2).
