BACKGROUND The existing information on oral rehabilitations with dental implants in VIH-positive patients is scarce and of poor quality. Moreover, no long-term follow-up studies are available. Hence, the aims of this study were to describe the long-term survival and success rates of dental implants in a group of HIV-positive patients and to identify the most common postoperative complications, ...

The 21st century is an era of convergence. The ideas of crossover and fusion have long in popular science and technology. Practical exercise learning draws inspiration from sport, medical science, nursing, literature, humanities, social welfare, and recreation. Exercise borrows ideas from many different sports games. You can no longer categorize exercise in terms of academic fields. Rehabilitat...

Zirconia (ZrO2) is a ceramic material with adequate mechanical properties for manufacturing of medical devices. Zirconia stabilized with Y2O3 has the best properties for these applications. When a stress occurs on a ZrO2 surface, a crystalline modification opposes the propagation of cracks. Compression resistance of ZrO2 is about 2000 MPa. Orthopedic research led to this material being proposed...

PURPOSE In literature, many studies compare survival rates of different types of FPDs. Most of them compared restorations, which originated from one university, but from different clinicians. Data about restoration survival rates by only one experienced dentist are very rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate of allceramic FPDs without the blurring effects of different cli...

Purpose. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and radiographic outcomes of 23 edentulous jaws treated with 3D software planning, guided surgery, and immediate loading and restored with CAD-CAM full arch frameworks. Materials and Methods. This work was designed as a prospective case series clinical study. Twenty patients have been consecutively rehabilitated with an immediately load...

BACKGROUND Historically, the complete removable denture is the last prosthetic procedure to switch to digital techniques whose advantages are mainly observed in the laboratory stages; however, it is not possible to measure the depressibility of the oral mucosa using optical cameras, thus conventional impression techniques are still necessary. This article describes the clinical and laboratory p...

It is a unusual practice in national new pavement designs and rehabilitations to consider the nonlinear elastic behavior of materials that constitute or will layers. However, linear response simplification actual layers behavior, since used structure have stiffness dependent on stress state (granular subgrade) temperature time load application (asphalt concrete). In view this, this paper aims s...
