Background Appropriate load distribution among the supporting elements is essential for the
long-term success of implant-assisted removable partial dentures; however, there is little …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine a reference value for masticatory
performance (MP) by measuring the amount of glucose extraction (AGE) from chewing …

Background This study aimed to compare retention and fracture load in endocrowns made
from translucent zirconia and zirconium lithium silicate. Methods Fifty-six intact human …

Our understanding of human jaw biomechanics has been enhanced by computational
modelling, but comparatively few studies have addressed the dynamics of chewing …

Background Research on resolving implant fracture is still gaining attention as it can be a
serious treatment failure outcome. The implant fracture is likely to occur due to increased …

Background This study aimed to evaluate the stress distribution in a mandibular bone with
an implant-supported overdenture by a biological-data-based finite element analysis (FEA) …

Purpose: This study aimed to clarify whether occlusal force and masticatory performance
reduced in elderly adults and whether these parameters were affected by age. Methods …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implant location on load
distribution in the abutment tooth, implant and residual ridge with a distal-extension implant …

The alveolar bone provides structural support against compressive and tensile forces
generated during mastication as well as during orthodontic treatment. To avoid abnormal …

Statement of problem The masticatory efficacy between dentate and edentulous individuals
with and without the use of dental adhesives has been little studied. A comparative study of …
