Complications related to joint imbalance may contribute to some of the most predominant modes of failure in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). These complications include instability, aseptic loosening, asymmetric component wear, and idiopathic pain. Fixation may represent a step that introduces unchecked variability into the procedure and may contribute to the incidence of joint imbalance-related ...

one of the important problems in earthquake geotechnical engineering is liquefaction phenomenon that happens in loose saturated granular soils. in this study, 11 boreholes from govanjik and dayalar area in downstream of sattarkhan dam collected and evaluated. results of research are showed that with assuming cementation in soils, liquefaction potential is weak to moderate than non-cemented cond...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to use the photonic imaging modality of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to compare the marginal adaptation of composite inlays fabricated by direct and indirect techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS Class II cavities were prepared on 34 extracted human molar teeth. The cavities were randomly divided into two groups according to the inlay fabrication techni...

AIMS/BACKGROUND The objective of this review was to define the impact of cementation mode on the longevity of different types of single tooth restorations and fixed dental prostheses (FDP). METHODS Literature search by PubMed as the major database was used utilizing the terms namely, adhesive techniques, all-ceramic crowns, cast-metal, cement, cementation, ceramic inlays, gold inlays, metal-c...

Ocean acidification describes the progressive, global reduction in seawater pH that is currently underway because of the accelerating oceanic uptake of atmospheric CO(2). Acidification is expected to reduce coral reef calcification and increase reef dissolution. Inorganic cementation in reefs describes the precipitation of CaCO(3) that acts to bind framework components and occlude porosity. Lit...

The use of a keel in the tibial component during modern primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has become common, and its cementation may affect the future performance of the prosthesis. Although proponents of cementing the entire tibial component argue that this technique provides better initial fixation and may prevent aseptic loosening, reasons exist to apply cement only to the tibial basepla...

A one-year clinical study was performed on the efficacy of a bioactive dental cement (Ceramir C&B) with calcium aluminate and glass ionomer components. The study was performed on 38 crown and bridge abutments in 17 patients. Preparation parameters were recorded, as well as working-times, setting-times, and other handling characteristics. Baseline data were also recorded for gingival inflammatio...

BACKGROUND Reports of recurrence following restructuring of primary giant cell tumor (GCT) defects using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cementation or allogeneic bone graft with and without adjuvants for intralesional curettage vary widely. Systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate efficacy of PMMA bone cementation and allogeneic bone grafting following intralesiona...

The clinical success of a restorative procedure of endodontically treated teeth depends on the cementation used to create a link between the restoration and the tooth. The retention of a post is a major factor influencing the survival of the restoration. Most clinical failures involving endodontically treated teeth reconstructed with posts are due to cementation failure of posts, whereas root f...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the fit of two types of all-ceramic single crowns and indirect composite resin full coverage crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty intact human mandibular first premolars were selected for this study and prepared using a machine to standardize the dimensions and randomly divided into 3 groups. Slip cast (IC) (In-Ceram Zirconia, Vita Zahnfabrik), copy-milled zirconi...
