Bilateral fracture of the mandibular condyle: a challenge in surgical management

Fractures of the mandibular condyles are one of the facial traumas that cause the most impact on patients. They represent a therapeutic challenge and require adequate surgical planning because they involve an area rich in noble structures. The treatment aims to restore the patient's occlusion and mandibu...

A escolha da plataforma protética em implantodontia é fundamental para garantir o sucesso a longo prazo dos procedimentos. Todos os tipos de conexão protética apresentam vantagens e desvantagens, cabendo ao cirurgião-dentista optar pelo o que melhor se adepta ao seu caso. Uma revisão de literatura ...

Examining the Impact of Acute Binge Alcohol Consumption on Trabecular Morphometry and Tensile Strength in Adolescent Sprague Dawley Rat Mandibles

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: Underage drinking has become a major public concern having a negative impact on the growth and development of the skeleton. Peak bone mass is attained during adolescence hence the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of acute binge alcohol consumption on trabecular morphometry and tens...

Effects of Biomimetic Shoes on Healthy Young Children's Gait

Abstract Objective To compare the spatial-temporal parameters and walking kinematics of toddlers wearing biomimetic shoes, regular shoes (daily use owned shoes), and barefoot. Methods Spatial-temporal parameters (speed, step length, and stride width), the mean vertical displacement of the center of mas...

Ajuste fino de un modelo de producción vocal para estimar el estrés de impacto utilizando un método metaheurístico

Introducción: En modelos de producción vocal que emplean estructuras de resorte-masa-amortiguador, la precisión en la determinación de coeficientes de amortiguamiento que se asemejen a las características fisiológicas de las cuerdas vocales es crucial, teniendo en cuenta posibles variaciones en la ...

Correlation between the medial longitudinal arch and foot-related quality of life in recreational runners: a cross-sectional study

Rev. Pesqui. Fisioter; 14 (1), 2024
BACKGROUND: The foot's anatomical structure, specifically the medial longitudinal arch (MLA), is critical in running biomechanics, as it absorbs impact forces and facilitates movement. Alterations in MLA structure can lead to abnormal foot kinematics, increasing susceptibility to injuries and negatively ...

Stress distribution in peri-implant bone, implants, and prostheses: 3D-FEA of marginal bone loss and prosthetic design

Braz. dent. sci; 27 (2), 2024
Objective: In response to the demand for dental implants, extensive research has been conducted on methods for transferring load to the surrounding bone. This study aimed to evaluate the stresses on the peripheral bone, implants, and prostheses under scenarios involving of the following variables: prosth...

Must a Knee with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficiency and High-grade Pivot Shift Test Present an Increase in Internal Rotation?

Abstract Objective: Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common injuries in athletes and is often associated with damage to anterolateral structures. This combination of injuries presents itself clinically as a high-grade pivot shift test. The hypothesis of this study is th...

Abstract Since its introduction by Ilizarov, the distraction osteogenesis technique has been used to treat trauma-related conditions, infections, bone tumors, and congenital diseases, either as methods of bone transport or elongation. One of the major dilemmas for the orthopedic surgeon who performs oste...

Estudo de biomecânica da marcha em pacientes portadores de hanseníase e pé caído: análise pré-operatória e pós correção cirúrgica com transposição tendinosa utilizando o tibial posterior
Biomechanical evaluation of leprosy patients with foot drop: pre-operative and post surgical analysis with tendon transfer

Introdução: A lesão neurológica periférica envolvendo o nervo fibular comum causado pela Hanseníase pode levar ao pé caído, causando alterações do padrão da marcha. A correção cirúrgica com a transposição tendinosa pode restabelecer a dorsiflexão e melhorar a marcha desses pacientes, ent...
