Background. We investigated the concurrent use of conventional rehabilitations and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies for the long-term management of children with developmental disorders (DDs). Methods. The parents or caregivers of 533 children with DDs (age range, 1-19 years) who visited the rehabilitation centers were surveyed using in depth face-to-face interviews. Resul...

Recent studies reported positive effects of bilateral arm training on stroke rehabilitations. The development of novel robotic-based therapeutic interventions aims at recovery of the motor control system of the upper limb, in addition to the increase of the understanding of neurological mechanisms underlying the recovery of function post stroke. A dual-arm upper limb exoskeleton EXO-UL7 that is...

Objective: The objective of this narrative is to review the significant biomechanical aspects implant systems, describing stresses and strains associated with their functional roles in oral rehabilitations.

A Simplified Approach to Fixed Metal-ceramic Reconstructions R estoring the edentulous patient with an implantsupported fixed complete denture prosthesis is a challenging procedure. Fixed metal-ceramic reconstructions are inherently different from fixed complete dentures or implant overdentures. From a prosthodontic perspective, there are 3 phases of treatment for these types of rehabilitations:

A full-mouth rehabilitation should be correctly planned from the start by using a diagnostic wax-up to reduce the potential for remakes, increased chair time, and laboratory costs. However, determining the clinical validity of an extensive wax-up can be complicated for clinicians who lack the experience of full-mouth rehabilitations. The three-step technique is a simplified approach that has be...

Aim: The conometric concept was proposed as a possible connection between the abutment and prosthetic coping. This research aimed to review features clinical uses of this in an implant-supported fixed prosthesis. Methods: An electronic search conducted on online database for topic object; articles published international literature were considered gave 17 results, 6 parameters analyzed. Results...
