Retentive Behavior of Locator versus Ball Attachments on Parallel versus Non-Parallel Implants [PDF]
Applied SciencesSeveral factors determine the retention force in removable implant-retained overdentures using prefabricated ball- or locator-type attachment systems. In this context, it was the goal of this in vitro study to examine the effect of implant angulation and

A Three-dimensional Finite Element Analysis to evaluate the Stress Distribution in Bone with Different Attachment Systems in an Implant-supported Mandibular Overdenture [PDF]
International Journal of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry, 2023 Purpose: The purpose of this finite element analysis (FEA) was to evaluate and compare stresses generated in bone, with carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) and titanium ball and locator attachments, in CFR-PEEK and titanium implant ...

Troubleshooting the Femoral Attachment During Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction [PDF]
Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2015 The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has been recognized as an important soft tissue restraint in preventing lateral patellar translation. As many patients with acute or chronic patellar instability will have a deficient MPFL, reconstruction of this ligament is becoming more common. Appropriately, significant research has been undertaken regarding

Condensation in preferential attachment models with location‐based choice [PDF]
Random Structures & Algorithms, 2019 We introduce a model of a preferential attachment based random graph which extends the family of models in which condensation phenomena can occur. Each vertex has an associated uniform random variable which we call its location. Our model evolves in discrete time by selecting r vertices from the graph with replacement, with probabilities proportional ...
