Implant-retained auricular prostheses require attachments to connect the implants and prostheses. Different attachments have different retention forces and hence different stress is transmitted to the implants. Splinting the implants together with a Hader bar allows the combination of different attachments with the Hader bar and allows changes in the amount and pattern of stress on the implants. However, the amount of removal force is also influenced by the retention components and the direction of removal of the prosthesis. In this paper, we studied the stress distribution around two craniofacial implants, in an auricular prosthesis, according to the removal forces, among three different attachment combinations and evaluated the stress distribution around two craniofacial implants in an auricular prosthesis with removal force at normal direction. The mean removal force was experimentally determined and the models were created using finite element software to analyze the distribution of von-Mises stress. Within the limitations of this study, the prosthodontist should place an emphasis on encouraging patients to remove the prosthesis at 90 degrees and if possible use a low retentive attachment to reduce the stress.

Cranio-maxillofacial bone reconstruction, especially for large defects, remains challenging. Synthetic biomimetic materials are emerging as alternatives to autogenous grafts. Tissue engineering aims to create natural tissue-mimicking materials, with calcium phosphate-based scaffolds showing promise for bone regeneration applications.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance polymer material for developing varying orthopedic, spine, cranial, maxillofacial, and dental implants. Despite their commendable mechanical properties and biocompatibility, the major limitation of PEEK implants is their low affinity to osseointegrate with the neighboring bone. Over the last two decades, several efforts have been made to incorporate bioactive components such as bioceramic particles in PEEK to enhance its osseointegration capacity.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide and has been confirmed to be associated with a common oral bacterial infection-chronic apical periodontitis (CAP). However, the detailed mechanisms remain controversial. CAP can potentially alter systemic inflammation, lipid metabolism, and gut microbiota, all of which contribute to the progression of the aortic inflammatory response.

Background: Mandibular angle osteotomy (MAO) is a popular procedure to improve facial aesthetics, however, over-resection of the mandibular angle can lead to both functional and aesthetic challenges. Precision is essential in restoring these over-resected mandibles to achieve balanced outcomes. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants offer biocompatibility, durability, and customization potential, making them valuable for achieving precise and predictable results.

Unlabelled: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is an alternative treatment for craniofacial bone defects reconstruction through membrane barrier adaptation, such as demineralized dentin material membrane (DDMM). DDMM is used as a substitute for GBR material, which aligns with Green Economy principles, it has a good biological osteoinductive and osteoconductive effects, and its structure resembles bones. The balance of bone remodeling when experiencing craniofacial defects will be altered and allow changes to resorption activity, so the mechanisms of osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption are vital.
