The main objective of this study was to investigate the influence of implant geometrical characteristics: diameter, length and thread's pitch, on stress distribution around dental prosthesis. A set of numerical simulations using FEM were conducted and responses surfaces were generated. With the aim of optimizing the equivalent stresses responses; desirability function approach was adopted to solve this multi-objective problem. Results showed that implant diameter had most significant influence on generated stresses and high concentration of stresses were identified in the lower part of the implant. This study is helpful in choosing the optimal dental implant for clinical application.

Background: The selection guideline for the implant-supported bar connectors (ISBC) of hybrid denture is lacking. This study investigated the maximum von Mises stress (vMS), stress distribution, and displacement of various geometric ISBC in mandibular hybrid dentures, as well as the maximum principal stress (σmax) in the acrylic resin part, through finite element analysis.
Methods: Four different geometric cross-sectional patterns for mandibular ISBC-L, Y, I, and Square-of equal volume, based on the "All-on-4" concept, were created.

Background And Objective: Dysfunction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is a common long-term complication following surgical repair in patients with congenital heart disease. Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) offers a viable alternative to surgical pulmonary valve replacement (SPVR) for treating pulmonary regurgitation but not all RVOT anatomies are suitable for TPVI. To identify a suitable landing zone (LZ) for TPVI, three-dimensional multiphase (4D) computed tomography (CT) is used to evaluate the size, shape, and dynamic behavior of the RVOT throughout the cardiac cycle.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the biomechanical performance of different designs of three-unit implant-supported prostheses using two materials (Zirconia and PEKK) under various loading conditions.
- Three models were created with different implant placements to analyze three designs: distal cantilever, fixed-fixed, and mesial cantilever, utilizing finite element analysis for stress evaluation.
- Results indicated that the fixed-fixed design performed best, with PEKK showing lower stress in some areas but higher stress in others compared to Zirconia, highlighting the importance of design and material choice in prosthodontics.

Heart valves play a critical role in maintaining proper cardiovascular function in the human heart; however, valve diseases can lead to improper valvular function and reduced cardiovascular performance. Depending on the extent and severity of the valvular disease, replacement operations are often required to ensure that the heart continues to operate properly in the cardiac system. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures have recently emerged as a promising alternative to surgical replacement approaches because the percutaneous methods used in these implant operations are significantly less invasive than open heart surgery.
