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 ... -
Tooth Shade Preferences among the General Public
( Blackwell Publishing Inc. , 2020 , Article)Purpose: To identify laypersons? most preferred tooth shade as a function of observer and patient factors, namely patients? skin shade and observers? socio-demographics. Materials and Methods: Two online surveys using ... -
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 ... -
Validated finite element models of premolars: A scoping review
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)Finite element (FE) models are widely used to investigate the biomechanics of reconstructed premolars. However, parameter identification is a complex step because experimental validation cannot always be conducted. The aim ... -
Development of a Checklist to Prevent Reconstructive Errors Made By Undergraduate Dental Students
( Blackwell Publishing Inc. , 2020 , Article)Purpose: To design a checklist in order to reduce the frequency of reconstructive preventable errors (PE) performed by undergraduate dental students at McGill University. Materials and Methods: The most common PE occurring ... -
Composition and characteristics of trabecular bone in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis
( 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 ... -
Multiscale structural evolution of citrate-triggered intrafibrillar and interfibrillar mineralization in dense collagen gels
( Academic Press Inc. , 2020 , Article)The mineralized extracellular matrix of bone is an organic?inorganic nanocomposite consisting primarily of carbonated hydroxyapatite, fibrous type I collagen, noncollagenous proteins, proteoglycans, and diverse biomolecules ... -
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 ... -
The case for chronotherapy in Covid-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2020 , Article)Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease resulting from infection by a novel coronavirus, SARS-Cov2, has rapidly spread since November 2019 leading to a global pandemic. SARS-Cov2 has infected over four million ... -

Osseointegration Pharmacology: A Systematic Mapping Using Artificial Intelligence
( Acta Materialia Inc , 2021 , Article)Clinical performance of osseointegrated implants could be compromised by the medications taken by patients. The effect of a specific medication on osseointegration can be easily investigated using traditional systematic ... -
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and risk of bleeding and acute ischemic events in non-hypertensive Alzheimer's patients
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)Introduction Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) are commonly used to treat mild to moderate cases of Alzheimer disease (AD). To the best of our knowledge, there has been no study estimating the risk of bleeding and ... -
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 ... -
Chronotherapy of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs May Enhance Postoperative Recovery
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Postoperative pain relief is crucial for full recovery. With the ongoing opioid epidemic and the insufficient effect of acetaminophen on severe pain; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are heavily used to ... -
