TCSloT: Text Guided 3D Context and Slope Aware Triple Network for Dental Implant Position Prediction [PDF]
In implant prosthesis treatment, the surgical guide of implant is used to ensure accurate implantation. However, such design heavily relies on the manual location of the implant position. When deep neural network has been proposed to assist the dentist in locating the implant position, most of them take a single slice as input, which do not fully ...

Computer-aided implant design for the restoration of cranial defects [PDF]
Patient-specific cranial implants are important and necessary in the surgery of cranial defect restoration. However, traditional methods of manual design of cranial implants are complicated and time-consuming. Our purpose is to develop a novel software named EasyCrania to design the cranial implants conveniently and efficiently.

Full mouth rehabilitation by implant supported fixed prosthesis
The purpose of this study is to report a case of full-mouth rehabilitation on six endosseous implants loaded following the standard procedure. It was decided to insert six implants in the maxillary and six implants in the mandibular arch in a patient ...

Towards Deterministic Creation of Single Photon Sources in Diamond using In-Situ Ion Counting [PDF]
We present an in-situ counted ion implantation experiment reducing the error on the ion number to 5 % enabling the fabrication of high-yield single photon emitter devices in wide bandgap semiconductors for quantum applications. Typical focused ion beam implantation relies on knowing the beam current and setting a pulse length of the ion pulse to define

Stress shielding at the bone-implant interface: influence of surface roughness and of the bone-implant contact ratio [PDF]
Short and long-term stabilities of cementless implants are strongly determined by the interfacial load transfer between implants and bone tissue. Stress-shielding effects arise from shear stresses due to the difference of material properties between bone and the implant.

Management of post‐implant fibrous dysplasia in the maxilla: A case study
Abstract Background Fibrous dysplasia is generally rare, and even rarer in older adults. Special care is needed when altering the alveolar bone in these cases, especially if an implant is involved. This case study highlights such a scenario. Methods This case study details the experience of a 63‐year‐old African American female who presented with a ...

Approximate Expressions to the Reactive Near-Field Losses of Body-Implanted Antennas [PDF]
Implantable bioelectronics often relies on an RF-wireless link for communication and/or remote powering. Propagation through biological media is very lossy, and previous work has shown that these losses can be separated into three parts: the losses incurred by the propagating fields, the reflections at media interfaces, and the coupling of the reactive
