Instabilities, thermal fluctuations, defects and dislocations in the crystal-R-R rotator phase transitions of -alkanes.

The theoretical study of instabilities, thermal fluctuations, and topological defects in the crystal-rotator-I-rotator-II (X-R-R) phase transitions of -alkanes has been conducted.

Implantoplasty-Aided Prosthetic Rehabilitation for the Management of Peri-Implantitis in Maxilla Reconstructed With Free Fibula Flap: A Clinical Report.

For managing peri-implantitis, a variety of treatment modalities involving both surgical and nonsurgical methods including implantoplasty have been proposed. Implants that are placed in a free fibula flap are more prone to peri-implantitis due to the absence of firm, keratinized mucosa. Prosthetic design that offers adequate hygiene access should be designed whenever possible; otherwise, it may lead to the accumulation of plaque or biofilm that may lead to peri-implant diseases.
