Ever since the introduction of topology optimization into the industrial and manufacturing
fields, it has been a top priority to maximize the performance of any system by optimizing its …

Dental implants represent one of the most successful treatment modalities in dentistry.
However, failures do occur in the range from 5 to 8% for routine procedures and up to 20 …

A non-invasive method of quantitatively assessing dental implant stability is important to
monitor its long-term health. The Advanced System for Implant Stability Testing (ASIST) is a …

The objective of this study is to look at stress patterns actuated by locator connections when
used to hold mandibular overdentures retained by odd number implants. Two 3D models …

It is established that bone tissue adapts and responds to mechanical loading. Several
studies have suggested an existence of positive influence of vibration on the bone mass …

We propose the electromechanical impedance technique to monitor the stability of dental
implants. The technique consists of bonding one wafer-type piezoelectric transducers to the …

We simulated the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique to assess the stability of
dental implants. The technique consists of bonding a piezoelectric transducer to the element …

Precise diagnosis of loosening of endoprosthetic implants plays an important role in timely,
adequate treatment. However, today's diagnostic tools, mainly radiological evaluation, do …

This paper proposes a rapid inverse analysis approach based on the reduced basis (RB)
method and the Levenberg–Marquardt–Fletcher algorithm to identify the 'unknown'material …

The dental implantation in clinical operations often encounters difficulties and challenges of
failure in osseointegration, bone formulation, and remodeling. The resonance frequency …
