Abstract

Recently there have been a number of studies concerning the dynamic behavior of removable partial denture under the loading, but none of previous studies have dealt with non-linear analysis. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the usefulness of two-dimensional non-linear analysis. The behavior of abutment teeth and saddle in relation to the distribution of force on the teeth and the supporting tissues are the objects of this analysis. In this study, a comparative analysis between non-linear and linear analysis was performed utilizing finite element method. The results were as follows. 1. A two-dimensional model simulating the behavior of teeth and the supporting tissues in vitro could been made by changing the values of the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the periodontal membranes and the mucosa of edentulous alveolar ridge at two stages. 2. In the conditioned high loading (5 kg), displacement of abutment teeth and saddle in the linear analysis was larger than that of the non-linear analysis. 3. In the conditioned high loading (5 kg), the distribution of the force on the mesial abutments in linear analysis was larger than that of non-linear analysis. The results of this study suggested that the non-linear analysi...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.
