Flexural-tensegrity snapping tails for bio-inspired propulsion in fluids

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Claudio Boni

Many aquatic animals propel themselves by flapping their tails. Leveraging a recently proposed snapping cantilever beam based on the concept of flexural tensegrity, we propose a bio-inspired propulsion device. The design comprises a segmental beam with hol ...

Fixed and mobile-bearing total ankle prostheses: Effect on tibial bone strain

Alexandre Terrier, Xavier Crevoisier, Maïka Réane Guillemin, Caroline Sieger Fernandes

Background Total ankle replacement is associated to a high revision rate. To improve implant survival, the potential advantage of prostheses with fixed bearing compared to mobile bearing is unclear. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis th ...

In-situ photopolymerized and monitored implants: successful application to an intervertebral disc replacement

Dominique Pioletti, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Photopolymerization is a common method to harden materials initially in a liquid state. A surgeon can directly trigger the solidification of a dental implant or a bone or tissue filler by using ultra-violet light. Traditionally, photopolymerization has bee ...

Metal artefact reduction in computed tomography images by a fourth-order total variation flow

Alfio Quarteroni, Elena Faggiano

Permanent metallic implants, such as dental fillings and cardiac devices, generate streaks-like artefacts in computed tomography (CT) images. In this article, we propose a strategy to perform metal artefact reduction (MAR) that relies on the total variatio ...

In-situ photopolymerization and monitoring device for controlled shaping of tissue fillers, replacements or implants

Dominique Pioletti, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Photopolymerization is a common tool to harden materials initially in a liquid state. A surgeon can directly trigger the solidification of a dental implant or a bone or tissue filler simply by illumination. Traditionally, photopolymerization has been used ...

Photopolymerization device for minimally invasive implants: application to nucleus pulposus replacement

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Photopolymerization is a common tool to harden materials initially in a liquid state. A surgeon can directly trigger the solidification of a dental implant or a bone or tissue filler. Traditionally, photopolymerization has been used mainly in dentistry. Ov ...

Dental Phenotype in Jalili Syndrome Due to a c.1312 dupC Homozygous Mutation in the CNNM4 Gene

Jalili syndrome denotes a recessively inherited combination of an eye disease (cone-rod dystrophy) and a dental disorder (amelogenesis imperfecta), which is caused by mutations in the CNNM4 gene. Whereas the ophthalmic consequences of these mutations have ...

Advances in the design of macroporous polymer scaffolds for potential applications in dentistry

Philippe Renaud, Thomas Michael Braschler, Sidi Ahmed Bencherif

A paradigm shift is taking place in medicine and dentistry from using synthetic implants and tissue grafts to a tissue engineering approach that uses degradable porous three-dimensional (3D) material hydrogels integrated with cells and bioactive factors to ...

Dislocation in total knee arthroplasty

Aurélien Gallice

Mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty has potential advantages over fixed- bearing prostheses that may lead to an improvement of the range of motion and inferior long-term polyethylene wear. However, the potential disadvantages include the dislocation of ...

Experimental and numerical investigations on the fluid contribution to the tensile-compressive mechanical behavior of the bovine periodontal ligament

Marzio Bergomi

Orthodontic treatments are all based on the experimental evidence that teeth can be forced to move in the dental arch by means of applied mechanical forces. Since it allows for prediction of dental mobility, the mechanical characterization of the tissues i ...
