Nanomaterials have played an important role in basic scientific innovation as well as clinical technical development in prosthodontics.It demonstrates that many properties of materials used in prosthodontics, such as modulus of elasticity, surface hardness, polymerization shrinkage, and filler loading, can be significantly improved after their scales were reduced from micron-size to nanosize by nanotechnology, and that the performances of composites can also be enhanced by adding appropriate nanomaterials. Nanoscience is a novel strategy that will affect medicine, dentistry, research, and...

Die Biomechanik umfasst alle Arten von Wechselwirkungen zwischen Geweben und Organen des Körpers und den auf sie einwirkenden Kräften. Es ist die Reaktion des biologischen Gewebes auf die ausgeübten Belastungen.Zahnimplantate haben die Aufgabe, die Belastung auf das umliegende biologische Gewebe zu übertragen. Daher besteht das primäre Ziel des funktionalen Designs darin, die biomechanische Belastung zu verwalten (abzuleiten und zu verteilen), um die Funktion der implantatgetragenen Prothese zu optimieren.

The great emphasis on youth, beauty, and virility in our contemporary society makes it increasingly difficult to age in place. These are frustrating years, not least for elderly individuals. They acknowledge that many of their ideas, ambitions, goals, and hopes will never come true and that they have passed their prime in terms of productivity. It is regrettable that the majority of essential dental and medical services are typically required for elderly patients at a time when they are least able to endure and pay for them. Due to the psychological aspects that are usually involved, the...
