Orthodontic treatments are all based on the experimental evidence that teeth can be forced to move in the dental arch by means of applied mechanical forces. Since it allows for prediction of dental mobility, the mechanical characterization of the tissues i ...
BACKGROUND: Although shoulder arthroplasty is an accepted treatment for osteoarthritis, loosening of the glenoid component, which mainly occurs at the bone-cement interface, remains a major concern. Presently, the mechanical effect of the cement mantel thi ...
