Four en-bloc resections for malignant tumours of the hip, the peri-acetabular region and the iliac wing were reconstructed using an irradiated hemipelvic allograft together with a total hip prosthesis. Technical aspects include the use of an anterior Enneking approach which excises the previous biopsy site, division and re-attachment of the iliac crest and fixation of the prosthesis using a mod...

Defects of the eye may follow removal of a part of or the entire orbit. This results in the patient becoming visually, esthetically and psychologically handicapped. Restoring the defect with a silicone- or acrylic-based prosthesis not only restores esthetics but also gives back the lost confidence to the patient. This is a case report of a patient with a 'pthisical eye' and details the steps in...

OBJECTIVE The study aims to compare the stress shielding effects of implantable anatomical and traditional prostheses after in vitro total hip joint replacement simulation. The study serves as a biomechanical basis for novel artificial prostheses and for clinical hip joint replacements. METHODS Sixteen femoral specimens from adult male corpses were randomly divided into two groups: the tradit...

Objectives: This research work intends to clarify the role of artificial saliva, in particularly the role of mucin, a salivary protein, on the surface properties and adhesion ability of Candida spp. oral clinical isolates to abiotic surfaces. Methods: Four oral clinical isolates of Candida spp. were used: two Candida albicans strains (AC; AM) and two Candida parapsilosis strains (AD; AM2). The ...

A procedure is described for fabricating an immediate complete overdenture where several teeth retain an interim fixed partial denture (FPD) until the complete denture is finished. Nonessential posterior teeth were first extracted. An interim fixed restoration was fitted to five strategic teeth, and the four maxillary incisors were reduced to the gingival margin. The reduced teeth and the maxil...

A biologically active material enables implants to bond with bone, which could significantly extend the lifetime of the artificial implants or other medical reconstructive devices. The bioactive coating adhere to the surface of the implant, binds with both implants and bone, promotes formation of hydroxyapatite and lengthens the implant lifetime. Such implants are more durable and long lasting ...

The success of artificial prosthetic replacements depends on the fixation of the artificial prosthetic component after being implanted in the thighbone. The materials for fixation are subject to mechanical stresses, which originate permanent deformations, incipient cracks and even fatigue fractures. This work shows the possibility of monitoring the mechanical stress over time in prosthesis. In ...
