introduction: the survival of an implant system is affected by the choice of antirotational design, which can include an external or internal hex. implant success also is affected by the maintenance of the crestal bone around implants. the aim of present study was to evaluate the crestal bone loss and clinical parameters related to bone loss in patients loaded with an external or internal hex 3...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the heat generated from different depths of an implant drilling site with and without a sleeve. materials and methods: in this study, 60 cortical bone samples were used and a load of 2.0 kg was applied. rilling for implant surgery, we used a diameter of 4.3 mm and a normal sleeve. heat was measured from 3 different depths(3,6, and 9 mms). d...

background and aims. despite the very good results, implant treatment has also been associated with some failures. the aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate, survival rate, and tissue health indices around xive® dental implants placed in patients in a dental office in isfahan. materials and methods. in this cross-sectional study, 129 xive® dental implants were selected. a form was ...

longevity of osseointegrated implants are intensely influenced by biomechanical factors. control of these factors prevents mechanical complications, which include fracture of screws, components, or materials veneering the framework. in this study, the impact of length and threads pitch of dental implants on the stress distribution and maximum von mises stress in implant-abutment complex and jaw...

Treatment of mouse mammary glands with a high concentration of 7,12-dimethylbenzo(a)anthracene in whole organ culture was reported by Banerjee et al. to transform foci of lobuloalveoli to a hormone-independent state, and to give rise to mammary hyperplastic outgrowths and adenocarcinomas in vivo. In the present study using the identical system, mammary glands of BALB/c mice were exposed to 7,12...

1. The evolution of sexual dimorphism presents a challenge because males and females must express two phenotypes from the same underlying genome. In vertebrates, one solution to this challenge is to link the expression of shared traits to sex steroids. However, even ‘male-biased’ steroids such as testosterone (T) circulate at biologically significant levels in females, raising the question of w...

We summarized experimental data to quantify the change in final BW due to a particular implant strategy when cattle are adjusted to the same final body composition. The database developed for this study included 13 implant trials involving a total of 13,640 animals (9,052 steers and 4,588 heifers). Fifteen different implant strategies were used among these trials, including no implant (control)...

Unlocking the therapeutic potential of brown/beige adipose tissue requires technological advancements that enable the controlled expansion of this uniquely thermogenic tissue. Transplantation of brown fat in small animal model systems has confirmed the expectation that brown fat expansion could possibly provide a novel therapeutic to combat obesity and related disorders. Expansion and/or stimul...
