Although use of high-strength reinforced concrete (RC) jackets has become common practice worldwide, there are still two unresolved issues regarding the contribution of the original concrete and the effects of existing ...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sealing agents on preload maintenance of screw joints. Materials and Methods: A total of four groups (n = 10 in each group) of abutment/implant systems, including ...

Purpose: This in vitro study evaluated the effectiveness of a sealing agent on v: ertical misfit of the implant-abutment interface in an external hexagon implant system before and after mechanical cyclic loading. Effects ...

BACKGROUND: Preload dynamic tests, pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) have emerged as powerful tools to predict response to fluid administration. The influence of factors other than preload ...
