A Novel 3D‐Printed/Porous Conduit with Tunable Properties to Enhance Nerve Regeneration Over the Limiting Gap Length

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 8, Issue 17, September 11, 2023., 2023
Extrusion‐based 3D printing and freeze‐drying are used to fabricate a novel design of nerve conduit. The combination of these manufacturing techniques guarantees high tunability of morphological and structural characteristics. The conduit supports the regeneration of sciatic nerve of the rat above the limiting gap length and can therefore be proposed ...

Microleakage assessment of CAD‐CAM Cobalt‐Chrome and Zirconia abutments on a conical connection dental implant: A comparative in vitro study

open access: yesClinical Oral Implants Research, Volume 33, Issue 9, Page 945-952, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective To assess the marginal and bacterial microleakage in zirconia and CAD‐CAM or cast Co‐Cr implant abutments. Methods Sixty‐four conical connection implants with their respective abutments were divided into four groups (Co‐Cr (milled, laser‐sintered, and cast) and Zirconia (milled)).

Surface evaluations of a nanocomposite after different finishing and polishing systems for anterior and posterior restorations

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, Volume 84, Issue 12, Page 2922-2929, December 2021., 2021
The clinician should avoid unpolished surface in resin‐based composite restorations. In finishing and polishing procedures rigid instruments can be used on anterior restorations instead than in posterior ones. On the other hand, for posterior restorations, flexible instruments, which perfectly adapt to the complex occlusal anatomy, should be used ...

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 3, June 2026.
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

Marginal Misfit Assessment in Common Restorative Materials for Cement‐Retained Fixed Implant Prostheses: An In Vitro Comparative Study

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To assess the vertical discrepancy at the abutment–crown interface (ACI) for cement‐retained crowns fabricated from three commonly used restorative materials across implants featuring external and internal connections. Materials and Methods A total of 30 implants with external (EC) and internal (IC) connections were included in this

Remapping Wetness Perception in Upper Limb Amputees

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2024.
A new generation of prostheses aims to restore the rich sensory feedback of amputated people, but one modality is often neglected: wetness perception. Ploumitsakou and colleagues present an approach to detect and mediate moisture information: a cold, dry skin stimulation created the vivid sensation of touching something wet.
