Excess cement and peri‐implant disease: A cross‐sectional clinical endoscopic study
Abstract Background Crown cementation is a common technique for implant‐supported prosthodontics. However, for possible slipping of the cement below the mucosal margin, its thorough removal poses some issues. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of submucosal cement residues in patients with peri‐implant disease by endoscopic ...

Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis poses a major challenge as contemporary nonsurgical treatments show dissatisfactory results and mucosal flap surgery is often needed. Diode lasers can remove granulation tissue and submucosal bacteria, and if it achieves similar clinical results, then it could be used as a less invasive first approach.

Robot‐Assisted Versus Open Surgery for the Resection of Large Thymomas: A Retrospective Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Background Robot‐assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is increasingly becoming the preferred surgical method for the resection of thymomas. We initiated the current study to evaluate perioperative outcomes and early recurrence associated with the surgical approach.

Abstract Purpose Fixed flexion deformity (FFD) is traditionally addressed in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with extensive soft tissue release and distal femoral recut, which increases bone stock consumption and raises the knee joint line (JL). This study aimed to evaluate differences in the anatomical restoration of the JL and bone stock preservation ...

Abstract Purpose To analyse the quantitative morphology of the menisci, their roots and relations with a focus on the medial meniscus anterior root (MAR) as a basis for a preclinical model. Methods Data was obtained from 24 tibial plateaus of skeletally mature, female Merino ewes. The MAR attachment (MARA) was scanned with micro‐computed tomography and

Abstract Purpose Revision total knee replacement (RevKR) is an increasingly common procedure. It is hypothesised that higher surgical volume is linked to lower levels of adverse outcomes. The aim was to estimate the association of surgical volume on patient outcomes following first single‐stage RevKR for non‐infected indications.

A Novel 3D Printed Multi‐Material Simulator for Endoscopic Stapes Surgery: The “3D Stapes Trainer”
The 3D Stapes Trainer represents a promising platform for training in endoscopic stapes surgery. This simulator consists of a multi‐use temporal bone holder and a single‐use middle ear box, printed with material Jetting 3D printing technology. Eight participants in a university ear surgery course used the simulator to perform endoscopic stapes surgery.

Plasma‐immersion‐ion‐implantation (PIII) is applied to increase the bond strength between 3D printed Polyether–ether–ketone (PEEK) or Poly–ether–ketone (PEK) and dental composite resin. A predictive model is presented that demonstrates the relative effect of plasma and mechanical interlocking because of roughness. The bond strength achieved with plasma

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are identified as prospective materials for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications because of their bio‐corrosiveness and ability to stimulate tissue reparative processes. Although compared with traditional metals, Mg is biocompatible; however, it has various problems that stem from its biodegradation nature, for ...
