  2. 1. Stability of aligned maxillary anterior teeth after orthodontic treatment : amount of changes with different retention methods and without retention

    Author : Sasan Naraghi; Vaska Vandevska-Radunovich; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Well-aligned anterior teeth are the major reason for the patients seeking orthodontic treatment, and keeping teeth aligned and stable afterwards is a goal for the orthodontist and the patient. Relapse after treatment is a common problem, and it is defined as when teeth go back to their previous positions. READ MORE

  4. 2. On failures and complications of tooth-supported fixed prostheses

    Author : Mohammed Hawthan; Christel Larsson; Bruno Ramos Chrcanovic; Ulf Örtengren; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Loss of tooth structure or loss of the tooth may affect masticatory function, phonetics, a person´s appearance, and might ultimately impair quality of life. Fixed prosthetic rehabilitation in the form of either fixed dental prosthesis (FDP)or single crown (SC) is a reliable treatment alternative to restore lost functions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Comparative in vivo and in vitro studies on the biomechanics of maxillary partial dentures. A methodological and experimental study

    Author : Cláudio Pinheiro Fernandes; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stomatology; biomechanics; Bite force; conical crowns; denture design; in vitro; in vivo; photoelasticity; strain gauges; Odontology; stress analysis.; Odontologi;

    Abstract : Biomechanical aspects are generally agreed to be significant, particularly during the planning of restorative treatments and the design of prosthetic appliances. However, comparative in vivo/in vitro studies show wide differences in the magnitudes and patterns of functional strains in prosthetic devices. READ MORE
