Patient-Reported Outcomes of Metal and Acrylic Resin Removable Partial Dentures : A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
Metal removable partial dentures (RPDs) are often considered long-term treatment options for partially edentulous patients, while acrylic resin RPDs are considered interim treatments. The aim of this review was to compare ...
Chiral Tartaric Acid Improves Fracture Toughness of Bioactive Brushite-Collagen Bone Cements
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Brushite cements are promising bone regeneration materials with limited biological and mechanical properties. Here, we engineer a mechanically improved brushite-collagen type I cement with enhanced biological properties ...
Evaluation of the design-driven prediction of removable partial denture retention
(
Mosby Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Statement of problem: Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are a cost-effective treatment designed to replace missing teeth for partially edentulous patients. However, RPDs often have insufficient retention, which results in ...

Selective Crystal Growth Regulation by Chiral α-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids Improves the Strength and Toughness of Calcium Sulfate Cements
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Natural biominerals, such as bones and teeth, use acidic matrix biomolecules to control growth, morphology, and organization of the brittle hydroxyapatite crystals. This interplay provides biominerals with outstanding ...
Postoperative administration of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, donepezil, interferes with bone healing and implant osseointegration in a rat model
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Donepezil is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor commonly used to treat mild to moderate Alzheimer?s disease. Its use has been associated with increased bone mass in humans and animals. However, the effect of postoperative ...

(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2020 , Article)
Background
Bone strength depends on multiple factors such as bone density, architecture and composition turnover. However, the role these factors play in osteoporotic fractures is not well understood.
Purpose
The aim ...
