Mandibular reconstruction is essential for restoring both function and aesthetics after segmental resection due to tumoral pathology. This study aimed conduct a comparative analysis of three strategies defects resulting from mandibular resection, utilizing finite element (FEA). Methods: A digital model the mandible was created CBCT data optimized FEA. Three scenarios were simulated: fixation with titanium plate, an autogenous fibular graft stabilized same customized PEEK plate. Various plate...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy a stereolithographic template, with sleeve structure incorporated into design, for computer-guided dental implant insertion in partially edentulous patients. Materials and Methods . Sixty-five implants were placed twenty-five consecutive patients surgical template. After surgery, digital impression taken 3D inaccuracy position at entry point, apex, angle deviation measured using an inspection tool software. Mann–Whitney <mml:math...

The present study aimed to assess the eighteen month follow-up patient-centered outcomes of a simple and predictable protocol for 3D-printed functional complete dentures manufactured using an improved poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)–nanoTiO2. A detailed morphological structural characterization PMMA–TiO2 nanocomposite, SEM, EDX, XRD, AFM, after 3D-printing procedure post-wearing micro-CT, was also performed. Methods: total 35 fully edentulous patients were enrolled in this prospective...

Background: A maxillofacial prosthesis, an alternative to surgery for the rehabilitation of patients with facial disabilities (congenital or acquired due malignant disease trauma), are meant replace parts face missing areas bone and soft tissue restore oral functions such as swallowing, speech chewing, main goal being improve quality life patients. The conventional procedures prosthesis manufacturing involve several complex steps, very traumatic patient rely on skills team. Computer-aided...

Background: COVID-19 vaccination started in Romania December 2020. Child 2021 with children aged 12–15 years August. For 5–11 years, January 2022. The aim of our study was to describe hesitancy Romanian and vaccine acceptability the general population. As parental consent is required for child Romania, these aspects have a significant association. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional survey conducted October November during peak 4th wave. Results: After validation, 1645 participants formed...

Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of electro‐pneumatic intracorporeal lithotripsy for treatment salivary gland stones. Study Design A prospective cohort patients diagnosed with obstructive syndrome, where basket‐assisted sialendoscopy alone failed remove calculi. Setting was conducted at “Queen Maria” Military Hospital in Brașov, Romania, and a private practice, between February 2023 May 2024. Methods total 29 calculi were treated using SialoLither device...

This study introduces a novel titanium hollow structure for mandibular reconstruction, designed to optimize mechanical stability and stress distribution. A comparative evaluation with similar polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is performed assess material-specific biomechanical behavior; Methods: Finite element analysis (FEA) simulations were conducted evaluate distribution, displacement, structural of the symmetrical PEEK structures under physiological conditions. The reconstructions based on...

Abstract Objective The objective is to compare, in a prospective randomized clinical trial, three types of attachment systems for mandibular implant overdenture, focusing on costs, maintenance requirements and complications from baseline the end 5‐year follow‐up period. Materials Methods Sixty‐nine fully fully/partially maxillary edentulous patients received two screw‐type Straumann implants, canine region. New overdentures with were inserted according an early‐loading protocol: Group B...

(1) Background: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the most complex and one of important joints in human body due to its essential roles mastication, swallowing, breathing speech. Several instruments have been used track mandibular movements register characteristic parameters TMJ, among which condylography are validated for accurate clinical registration condylar path. Sagittal inclination (SCI) parameters, together with Bennett angle immediate side shift, articular settings process oral...

The polymer-inorganic nanoparticles composite membranes are the latest solutions for multiple physicochemical resistance and selectivity requirements of membrane processes. This paper presents production polysulfone-silica microfiber grafted with titanium dioxide (PSf-SiO2-TiO2) membranes. Silica length 150-200 μm diameter 12-15 were nanoparticles, which aggregated as microspheres 1-3 μm, applying sol-gel method. SiO2 microfibers nano-TiO2 used to prepare 12% polysulfone-based nanocomposite...

Third molar removal surgery usually comes accompanied by postoperative discomfort, which could be influenced the surgical approach chosen. This scoping systematic review aimed at compiling available evidence focused on influence of flap design, including envelope (EF), triangular (TF), and modified (MTF), pain, swelling, trismus, as primary outcome measures, any result mentioning healing promotion or delay, secondary measure, after mandibular third extraction surgery. An electronic search,...

Many countries had initial success with HPV vaccination campaigns worldwide. The vaccine coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic dropped consistently. aim of our research is to assess barriers and facilitators current Romanian campaign.An analytical cross-sectional observational survey was conducted in general population; a self-administered questionnaire used.1122 responders were interviewed; 666 (59.36%) parents, 67 (5.97%) vaccinated themselves. A multinominal logistic regression carried...

The aim of this finite element study was to analyze effect supporting implants inclination on stress distribution in the bone for a four-unit fixed partial denture. A three-dimensional model mandibular molar section receive constructed. Three implant-supported dentures, with null, moderate and wide tilting, 0°, 15° 30° implant inclinations, respectively, were modeled. mechanical load 10 MPa applied coronal–apical direction bridge framework at regions crowns positions. analysis performed, von...

(1) Background: Prosthetically-driven implant positioning is a prerequisite for long-term successful treatment. Transferring the planned position information to clinical setting could be done using either static or dynamic guided techniques.
