Purpose: Dual mobility was introduced by Pr. G. Bousquet to improve the dislocation risk of total hip arthroplasty (THR). The wear mechanisms of this implant remain to be understood. Could enhanced explant wear analysis explain liner wear behaviour?
Methods: Sixty-six explanted liners were selected. Non-destructive 3D scanning and heat colour treatment allowed reporting wear patterns on both convex and concave sides of the liners.
Results: For many liners, liner convexity wear was found to be homogeneous, and linked to a longer implantation time. A few liners had signs of blocking of the convexity, leading to excessive internal damage. Intra prosthetic dislocations were found to only have internal circular wear without liner penetration.
Conclusion: Heat colour treatment showed its effectiveness for highlighting wear patterns. Optimal convexity mobility seemed to be leading to a longer implantation time, with decreased contact stresses on concavity. The retentive rim should have a distinct wear analysis.

Friction of Laser-Textured Zirconia Coated with a Platelet-Rich Fibrin.
J Dent Res
January 2025
Center for MicroElectroMechanical Systems, Universidade do Minho, Guimarães, Portugal.
In the present in vitro study, we evaluated the adhesion of an injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) to laser-textured zirconia surfaces and their resultant friction behavior against bone tissue. Three types of zirconia surfaces were compared regarding the i-PRF coating effects: 1) grit blasted with 250-μm spherical alumina particles and acid etched with 20% hydrofluoric acid (ZLA), 2) laser textured with a random (RD) surface pattern, or 3) laser textured with a designed pattern based on 16 lines and 8 passages (L16N8). The coefficient of friction (COF) of the specimens was assessed on a reciprocating sliding pin-on-plate tribometer at 1-N normal load, 1 Hz, and a 2-mm stroke length.

Objective: To evaluate short, mid and long-term clinical outcomes and patients' satisfaction of minimally invasive full-mouth rehabilitation using different materials and techniques for patients with moderate to severe tooth wear. Furthermore, materials were analyzed to identify their influences on clinical results.

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging environmental concern, but studies on these contaminants, particularly in river ecosystems, remain scarce. Research has indicated that MPs in the environment are predominantly microfibers (MFs); however, a few studies suggest that the MFs encountered are chiefly of natural origin. In this study, we aimed to improve the understanding of MP/MFs (both plastic and natural), among microparticle (solid particles >10 μm to <5000 μm; mainly of plastic as well as natural origin) loads in the Tiber River, Italy, by analyzing the physicochemical properties of surface water and assessing the abundance and characteristics of MPs-MFs at three sites: Ponte Grillo, Aniene, and Magliana, along a 60 km stretch.

Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, United States of America.
The mechanisms that regulate minor and trace element biomineralization in the echinoid skeleton can be primarily controlled biologically (, by the organism and its vital effects) or by extrinsic environmental factors. Assessing the relative role of those controls is essential for understanding echinoid biomineralization, taphonomy, diagenesis, and their potential as geochemical archives. In this study, we (1) contrast geochemical signatures of specimens collected across multiple taxa and environmental settings to assess the effects of environmental and physiological factors on skeletal biomineralogy; and (2) analyze the nanomechanical properties of the echinoid skeleton to assess potential linkages between magnesium/calcium (Mg/Ca) ratios and skeletal nanohardness.
