Implant fixation implies a strong and durable mechanical bond between the prosthetic
component and host skeleton. Assuming the short-term impediments to implant fixation are …

Since dental implants must withstand relatively large forces and moments in function, a
better understanding of in vivo bone response to loading would aid implant design. The …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

The radiographs of 64 patients with 70 humeral head replacements were reviewed for signs
of stress shielding. Of these, 49 were implanted for rheumatoid arthritis and 21 for …

The polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer is of great interest as an alternative to titanium
in orthopedics because of its biocompatibility and low elastic modulus. This study evaluated …

This review deals with biomechanical aspects of growth (mass change), remodeling
(property change), and morphogenesis (shape change) in living systems. The emphasis is …

The article focuses on the biomaterials and biomechanics behind oral and maxillofacial
implants. It states that the US Food and Drug Administration has a listing of over 50 …

This article provides a review of the achievements and advancements in dental technology
brought about by computer-aided design and the all powerful finite element method (FEM) of …

It is currently believed that the trabecular structure in bone is the result of a dynamic
remodeling process controlled by mechanical loads. We propose a regulatory mechanism …

Like most bone deficits, mandibular segmental defects may result from surgical
reconstruction due to congenital deformity, tumor resection, other pathologies, senescence …
