Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of occlusal form of abutment, occlusal thickness of monolithic zirconia crowns (MZC), and cement type on the fracture load of MZC. Abutments were prepared with 2 types of occlusal forms: groove-type and flat-type. These were designed so that thickness at the central fissure region of MZC was 0.3, 0.5, or 0.7 mm. Glass ionomer cement and resin cement were used to lute MZC to their corresponding abutment. Fracture load was determined using a universal testing machine. As a result, groove-type abutment had lower fracture load compared to flat-type abutment; however, the decline in strength was smaller when resin cement was used. Additionally, specimens with larger occlusal thickness had greater fracture load regardless of groove or cement-type. The fracture of MZC occurred on the central fissure region of MZC except for 0.7 mm groove-type MZC luted with resin cement.

Methods for assessing submarining occurrence in PMHS frontal sled tests: Exploring potential indicators.

Objective: Assessment of submarining occurrence in PMHS (Post-Mortem Human Subject) testing can be challenging, particularly for obese PMHS. This study investigates varied kinetic and kinematic response parameters as potential indicators of submarining. Data from 36 whole-body PMHS frontal sled tests conducted under varying boundary conditions were analyzed, incorporating three spring-controlled seat configurations, two extreme anthropometric profiles, two crash pulses, and two seatback angles.

Bone stress injury is a common musculoskeletal condition presenting with insidious bony pain that is progressive and occurs with a number of intrinsic or extrinsic risk factors, particularly with a recent change in training. When elicited, the presence of bony tenderness remains the most important component of the physical exam, although reproduction at deeper sites is a challenge and requires a high index of suspicion and imaging for diagnosis. MRI should be utilized as the gold standard for diagnosis, grading, and return-to-sport timing prognosis when available, with plain radiographs used as first-line imaging.

Objective: Due to its inherent high instability, the selection of fixation strategies for unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures remains a controversial challenge in the field of traumatic orthopedics. This study focuses on unilateral Denis type II sacral fractures. By applying three different fixation methods, it aims to explore their biomechanical properties and provide a theoretical basis for optimizing clinical fixation protocols.

Introduction: The conventional pin and tension band wiring (TBW) technique remains the standard for fixation, but is frequently associated with complications such as wire breakage, loosening, and delayed healing in patellar fracture. Locking plate fixation has demonstrated superior biomechanical stability in human studies. This study aimed to compare the biomechanical performance of locking plate fixation versus TBW in canine transverse patellar fractures and to evaluate the influence of plate design on fixation strength.

This study aimed to evaluate the near-cortical over-drilling technique on the mechanical behaviour of bone-plate constructs in a rabbit transverse femoral fracture. In vitro biomechanical testing and finite element (FE) models were used for analyses. Rabbits' bones (n = 14) were divided into two groups: G1 - without near-cortical over-drilling, and G2 - with near-cortical over-drilling.
