Abstract

A mechanical simulation model of tooth and alveolar bone in the application of 3/4 crown and porcelain-fused crown restorations was made and analyzed using three-dimensional finite element technique. The results obtained were as follows. 1. When the physiological tooth mobility was less than 150 microns, the teeth were sufficiently fixed using the splint and the bridge connected with more than two teeth, in the case of 20 percent absorption of the alveolar bone, and more than three teeth in the case of 40 percent absorption. In the case of 60 percent absorption, the teeth were fixed with the splint of six teeth connections, and were fixed with the bridge of five teeth connections. 2. The periodontium supporting force decreased markedly according to the increase of the number of the abutment teeth. 3. The teeth accompanied with the absorption of the alveolar bone were connected, in order to inhibit the tooth mobility and the periodontium supporting force. In this application, it had the inhibitory action when the replacing ratio of metal and ceramics to a crown of the tooth was less than 35 percent. 4. According to the finite element analysis, the design bases of fixed restorations applied in the teeth accompanied with the absor...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
