Background In contact sports, an impact on the jaw can generate destructive stress on the tooth-bone system. Mouthguards can be beneficial in reducing the injury risk by changing the dynamics of the trauma. The material properties of mouthguards and their ...
This paper reports an implant periapical lesion (IPL) with a previously unreported etiology. The presence of an osteolytic area around the apex and around the middle portion of a stable Straumann hollow-screw implant was found on periapical radiographs 3.5 ...
An Sb/Si(lll)root 3x root3 surface has been studied by high-resolution core-level spectroscopy. All the components of the Si 2p core level related to the clean surface have disappeared, and one strong Sb-induced component could be identified at a binding e ...
A successful bone tissue engineering strategy entails producing bone-scaffold construct with adequate mechanical properties. Apart from the mechanical properties of the scaffold itself, the forming bone inside the scaffold also adds to the strength of the ...
The invention relates to an apex-locating method and device for determining the depth position of the apex in a dental root canal. It uses a device that makes it possible to form a circuit comprising a first electrode-probe inserted in the root canal of a ...
One of the key problems in dental biomechanics is the prediction of tooth mobility under functional loads. Understanding tooth displacement due to load is becoming more important as new solutions in dental restorations, prosthodontics and orthodontic treat ...
The soft tissue, called periodontal ligament (PDL), that connects the alveolar bone and the tooth root accounts to a large extent for the mobility, stress-distribution and, due to its viscoelastic properties, damping of the bone-tooth complex. The accurate ...
Fornasinius hermes sp. nov. is described from North-East Uganda; type locality: Mt Morungole, Kidepo valley. The new species is reminiscent of Fornasinius fornasini Bertoloni, 1852 and Fornasinius aureosparsus (Neervoort Van De Poll, 1890), but presents a ...
The Fenton reaction was discovered over 120 years ago, yet our understanding of the complete reaction mechanism of the seemingly simple iron and hydrogen peroxide reaction (Fe + H2O2) remains unclear, thus limiting its full potential. In this work, the aim ...
