Bite force (occlusal force) may play a significant role in patient treatment outcomes.
However, as a diagnostic risk assessment tool, it has been examined in the literature but is …

Background Precise preoperative knowledge of the mandibular canal (MC) variations and
alveolar bone dimensions are vital elements for a successful dental implant. Thus, this study …

Aging changes in the facial skeleton are concentrated mostly in orbits, maxilla and
mandible. The aim of this study was to analyze metric traits of the adult viscerocranium in a …

Purpose To evaluate ridge dimensions at edentulous, mandibular posterior sites, and
contralateral dentate sites. Methods Computerized tomography scans of 24 patients with …

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate and compare the residual ridge resorption (RRR)
induced by an implant-retained overdenture (IRO) and associative biomechanics and by a …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare vertical and horizontal mandibular alveolar
bone resorption by measuring bone morphological variation in Kennedy Class II removable …

Despite an extensive literature documenting the adaptive changes of bones and ligaments
to mechanical forces, our understanding of how tissues actually mount a coordinated …

Objectives The morphology of the alveolar process determines the retention and stability of
prosthetic restorations, thereby determining the result of the therapy. Considering that the …

Healthy alveolar bone is the cornerstone of oral function and oral treatment. Alveolar bone is
highly dynamic during the entire lifespan and is affected by both systemic and local factors …

Patients with Kennedy Class I are usually treated with clasp-retained removable partial
dentures (RPDs) as the prosthetic gold standard. For additional stabilization of the RPD …
