The use of finite element models as research tools in biomechanics and orthopedics has
grown exponentially over the last 20 years. However, the attention to mesh quality, model …

Metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites have been employed in joint arthroplasty with
ever increasing success since the 1960s. New materials to repair or replace human skeletal …

Four-dimensional virtual patient is a simulation model integrating multiple dynamic data.
This study aimed to review the techniques in virtual four-dimensional dental patients …

The temporomandibular joint is a highly conserved articulation because it promotes survival
and propagation via the essential functions of mastication, communication, and routine …

The mechanical overloading of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is generally linked to
temporomandibular disorders (TMD). However, in patients with a typical combination of …

Although knowledge of short‐range kinetic interactions between antagonistic teeth during
mastication is of essential importance for ensuring interference‐free fixed dental …

Background The aim of this paper was to design a finite element model for a hinged
PROSPON oncological knee endoprosthesis and to verify the model by comparison with …

The book introduces the latest advances in dental materials and biomaterials science. It
contains a comprehensive introduction and covers ceramic, metallic, and polymeric oral …

Conservative approach, including occlusal splint therapy, is the first option to treat
temporomandibular disorders (TMD), because of its reversibility. The present study analyzed …

Objective To test whether two different materials used for occlusal splints would reduce the
stress to the temporomandibular joint discs. Methods Geometric data from a young-adult …
