Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in Dentistry

JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH, 2019
There has been a constant research in identifying ideal restorative materials to replace lost dentofacial structures. Material such as wood, shell, ivory, rubbers to metals and plastics have been tried in the past. Advancements in dental materials have given dentistry more promising materials, yet each material remains short of being the ideal one ...

Mandibular Overdentures on Four Immediately Loaded Mini‐Implants Versus Two‐Delayed Loaded Regular Implants: 1‐Year, Two‐Center RCT on Patient‐Reported Outcomes

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This one‐year randomized clinical trial compared the effects of mandibular implant‐overdentures (IODs) on two two‐piece regular‐neck tissue‐level implants (Group A) or on four mini‐implants (Group B) with different loading protocols in edentulous patients concerning dental Patient‐Reported Outcomes (dPROs).

Marginal gap of printed, milled, and heat‐pressed two‐piece polyetheretherketone abutments before and after thermal cycling, and their pull‐off bond strength after thermal cycling

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the marginal gap of two‐piece polyetheretherketone (PEEK) abutments fabricated with different methods, before and after thermal cycling, while also focusing on their pull‐off bond strength. Materials and Methods A two‐piece abutment was virtually designed after digitizing a titanium‐base (Ti‐base) abutment.

Temperature Influence on the Creep Behavior of a Carbon Fiber/Polyetheretherketone Composite [PDF]

Journal of Applied and Computational Mechanics
Carbon/PEEK Fiber Composites materials have, generally, a viscoelastic behavior and the mechanical properties are time dependent. These materials have gained an explosive use in the last decades, hence the need to determine their mechanical properties as

Navigating challenges in prosthodontic rehabilitation after long‐term delay following fibula free flap reconstruction with a unique overlay removable prosthesis and large vertical dimension increase

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report highlights the experience of one maxillofacial surgical patient who delayed prosthodontic treatment for 7 years as they saved to self‐fund access to a subsidized prosthodontic service. Without the benefit of a restored opposing dentition for a prolonged period of time, maxillary occlusal plane disruption occurred as a ...
