Titanium-Niobium (Ti-Nb) based alloys are predominantly used as an implant material within the Bio-medical field due to their unique characteristics such non-toxicity, better Osseo-integration, high resistance corrosion, strength weight quantitative relation and biocompatibility. This paper proposes optimize control parameters for multi-response optimization of Ti-6Al-7Nb bio-medical alloy Grey...

Denosumab (Dmab) è un potente farmaco anti-riassorbitivo impiegato per il trattamento dell’osteoporosi al dosaggio di 60 mg sottocute ogni sei 6 mesi. A differenza dei bisfosfonati (BPs), Dmab non si accumula nella matrice ossea e, in caso ritardo o interruzione delle somministrazioni, noto effetto rebound sul turnover osseo, che traduce una rapida perdita Bone Mineral Density (BMD) e aumento d...

Purpose: To assess surgical success rate of placing dental implants in the atrophic posterior maxilla engaging the maxillary sinus floor in patients with inadequate posterior maxillary alveolar bone height (PMABH). Methods: 26 patients with PMABH of 7 10 mm had 39 implants placed between July 2012 and June 2014. These implants were placed protruding apically 1 3 mm into the maxillary sinus enga...
