Pedicle screws are widely used for the treatment of spinal instability by spine fusion. Screw loosening is a major problem of spine fusion, contributing to delayed patient recovery. The present study aimed to understand the factor and interaction effects of density, insertion depth and insertion angle on pedicle screw pull out strength and insertion torque. A pull out study was carried out on rigid polyurethane foam blocks representing osteoporotic to normal bone densities according to the ASTM-1839 standard. It was found that density contributes most to pullout strength and insertion torque. The interaction effect is significant (p < 0.05) and contributes 8% to pull out strength. Axial pullout strength was 34% lower than angled pull out strength in the osteoporotic bone model. Insertion angle had no significant effect (p > 0.05) on insertion torque. Pullout strength and insertion torque had no significant correlation (p > 0.05) in the case of the extremely osteoporotic bone model.

Enhanced Osseointegration of Titanium Alloy Bone Implants Coated With Carob-calcium Hydroxide Nanoparticles: A Comparative Study.
J Craniofac Surg
December 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dentistry, King Saud University.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the osseointegration properties of titanium bone implants coated with carob-mediated calcium hydroxide nanoparticles biomechanically, radiographically, and histologically on rabbit tibias.
Material And Methods: Forty coated and forty uncoated titanium alloy bone implants were inserted into 20 New Zealand rabbits; each tibia received 2 implants. The rabbits were sacrificed after 4 or 8 weeks, and samples were retrieved for biomechanical evaluation through removal torque test to assess the bond between implant and bone, radiographic evaluation through microcomputed tomography analysis to compare the bone-to-implant contact percentage and bone volume of the peri-implant area, scanning electron microscopic and histologic evaluation through hematoxylin and eosin stain.
The effects of cage on endplate collapse after stand-alone OLIF: based on finite element analysis and mechanics experiments.

Background: Lumbar degenerative diseases are an important factor in disability worldwide, and they are also common among the elderly population. Stand-Alone Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (Stand-Alone OLIF) is a novel surgical approach for treating lumbar degenerative diseases. However, long-term follow-up after surgery has revealed the risk of endplate collapse associated with Stand-Alone OLIF procedures.

Background: The infrazygomatic miniscrew implants (IZC-MSI) serve as innovative temporary anchorage devices placed parallel to the roots of molars in the infrazygomatic crest region, leveraging their extra-radicular location to support the en masse distalization and intrusion of the maxillary dentition. The efficacy and stability of these screws are crucial for their application in contemporary orthodontic practices.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to estimate the success rate and factors affecting the stability of IZC-MSI.
Enhancing Field-Like Efficiency Via Interface Engineering with Sub-Atomic Layer Ta Insertion.
Adv Sci (Weinh)

School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing, 210023, China.
The prevailing research emphasis has been on reducing the critical switching current density (J) by enhancing the damping-like efficiency (β). However, recent studies have shown that the field-like efficiency (β) can also play a major role in reducing J. In this study, the central inversion asymmetry of Pt-Co is significantly enhanced through interface engineering at the sub-atomic layer of Ta, thereby inducing substantial alterations in the β associated with the interface.

Introduction: Short implants are today a reliable, minimally invasive option for the rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla. However, maintaining marginal bone stability remains a crucial factor for long-term success, particularly in the case of short implants. The present multicenter prospective case-control study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of bone-level and tissue-level short implants in the posterior maxilla, focusing on implant survival and peri-implant marginal bone stability over 1 year of function.
