Purpose: To investigate whether the inclination of the most distal implant and the cantilever length influence marginal bone loss in implant-supported fixed complete dentures (ISFCDs).
Materials And Methods: A novel method using computed tomography images was developed to measure the mesiodistal implant inclination. The cantilever length was measured during ISFCD fabrication. Radiographs were obtained after ISFCD installation at 1 and 3 years after loading.
Results: A total of 30 subjects with 62 implants were included. Accumulated marginal bone loss was 0.35 ± 0.49 mm. No significant association was found between marginal bone loss and cantilever length or implant inclination.
Conclusion: Implant inclination and cantilever length do not seem to affect marginal bone loss.

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.

An all-fiber vibration sensor based on the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) is proposed and experimentally evaluated in this study. The sensor is fabricated by introducing a Fabry-Perot cavity to the single-mode fiber using femtosecond laser ablation. The cavity and the tail act together as a cantilever beam, which can be used as a vibration receiver.

The geometry of implants plays a crucial role in the success of All-on-Four treatments for the lower jaw. This study builds upon prior research by evaluating the biomechanical performance of implant-supported prostheses in full-arch fixed dental restorations, specifically focusing on different implant lengths and connection types in cases of mild atrophic resorption of the mandible. Four groups were analyzed using finite element analysis (FEA): We utilized 13 or 18 mm posterior 17-degree tilting implants, each paired with two kinds of abutment connections.

This article delves into a hybrid galloping energy harvester featuring a longitudinally aligned triangular-shaped bluff body. Numerically, it analyzes how the position of a lumped mass influences the average output power of the harvester under concurrent base excitation and galloping. In comparison with traditional hybrid energy harvesters, the impact of three factors-low airflow velocity, small base excitation amplitude, and low frequency-is examined for each case of lumped mass deployment.
