Do impact fracture resistance of two titanium-abutment systems versus a single-piece ceramic implant?
This investigation showed that the fracture energy of two titanium-abutment systems versus a single-piece Y-TZP implant in foam blocks simulating bone elastic modulus was not different, and that differences occurred when the embedding material elastic modulus was increased an order of magnitude.
Accumulation of gene polymorphisms related to plaque rupture and thrombus formation is likely associated with the prevalence of cerebral infarction in type 2 diabetic patients, suggesting that the combined information about these variants is useful to assess the risk of cerebral infarction.
