A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

Long‐term outcomes of microsurgical interdental papilla reconstruction: 13‐year and 18‐year case follow‐ups

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Loss of the interdental papilla compromises esthetics, speech, and hygiene, significantly affecting quality of life and psychological well‐being. Reconstruction has long been considered unpredictable, particularly in Cairo RT3 cases with advanced interproximal bone loss.

Craniofacial osseointegration of a large midfacial bone-anchored combination maxillofacial prosthesis: A clinical report

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1996
The combination of retentive clips and magnets has been used with favorable results for smaller facial prostheses. This patient's large midfacial defect created the need for an attachment design that would retain an intraoral obturator prosthesis and a large silicone facial prosthesis.
