Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid Effects on Vestibular Function: A Preliminary Report

Audiology Research
Objective: Cochlear receptors are sensitive to vibratory stimuli. Based on this sensibility, bone-anchored hearing aids have been introduced to correct unilateral or bilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss and unilateral deafness.

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Changes in frontal plane kinematics over 12-months in individuals with the Percutaneous Osseointegrated Prosthesis (POP)

PLoS ONE, 2023
Background A bone-anchored prosthesis (BAP) eliminates the need for a conventional socket by attaching a prosthesis directly to the user’s skeleton. Currently, limited research addresses changes in gait mechanics post BAP implantation.

Anterior Guidance Reconstruction by Fixed Prosthesis Containing Bone Anchored Crown

Nihon Hotetsu Shika Gakkai Zasshi, 2006
A 24-year-old female patient visited our dental office with esthetic complaint. Implant-supported fixed prostheses were placed on the upper right and left side canine area. The cusps of bone anchored crowns were made to contact with the lower canine cusps during mandibular translation. The patient was followed for 5 years with no surgical or prosthetic
