The use of implant-supported prosthesis to replace missing teeth became a predictable treatment. Although high success rate has been reported, implant treatment is suitable to complications, failures, and limitations such as peri-implant bone loss after implant loading. Stress evaluation on the bone-abutment-implant interface has been carried out to develop new designs of prosthetic platform and to understand the stress distribution in this interface. Several types of prosthetic platforms are available such as external and internal hexagon, Morse cone connection, and the concept of platform switching. Therefore, this study aimed to critically describe the different options of prosthetic platforms in implant dentistry, by discussing their biomechanical concepts, clinical use, and advantages and disadvantages. It was observed that all types of prosthetic platforms provided high success rate of the implant treatment by following a strict criteria of indication and limitation. In conclusion, a reverse planning of implant treatment is strongly indicated to reduce implant overload, and the use of advanced surgical-prosthetic techniques is required to obtain a long-term success of oral rehabilitations.

Evaluating the microgap and sealing capability in four implant systems with different interlockings under different tightening torques: an study.
J Adv Prosthodont

Department Prosthetic Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Jouf University, Jouf, Saudia Arabia.
Purpose: This study assessed the microgap width and adhesion of three bacterial species in four dental implants with different interlocks under four screwing torques.
Materials And Methods: Ten samples of four implant systems with various interlockings, including full-hexagonal (FHI), cylindrical-conical trilobe-index (TLI), Morse-taper with octagon terminal index (OI), and hexagonal interlock (slip-fit) (HI-SF), were used. The abutments were screwed to the fixtures under torques of 10, 20, 30, and 40 Ncm.
Reconstruction of the Tibial Stump After Fibulectomy.

The formation of a functional tibial stump after combat injuries with extensive tissue damage is sometimes difficult. We describe a case of reconstruction of the tibial stump after a mine-blast injury. In this case, the fibula was completely removed as a result of fracture, and the tibia was amputated at the border of the upper and middle thirds.

Article Synopsis
- PFAS are man-made chemicals found in many industries that pose environmental and public health risks, but monitoring them in Africa is hindered by a lack of mass spectrometry (MS) instruments.
- The review highlights that few African countries have adequate access to MS, leading to significant underreporting of PFAS data and related health issues.
- To improve monitoring efforts, the study calls for financial support for MS instruments, the establishment of regional centers of excellence, and investment in training programs for effective PFAS management.
Exploiting passive behaviours for diverse musical playing using the parametric hand.

Creativity and style in music playing originates from constraints and imperfect interactions between instruments and players. Digital and robotic systems have so far been unable to capture this naturalistic playing. Whether as an additional tool for musicians, function restoration with prosthetics, or artificial intelligence-powered systems, the physical embodiment and interactions generated are critical for expression and connection with an audience.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of a "teledentistry" method using a mobile app (Telesmile) in enhancing knowledge of oral health conditions and oral hygiene practices among the blind and deaf populations in Jazan Province in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A randomized parallel design controlled study was conducted among 50 blind and 50 deaf subjects between the ages of 12-18 years, randomly chosen from blind and deaf schools. The participants were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
