[From the concept of permanent percutaneous connections to that of permanent percutaneous electrical connections]
Abstract:
Percutaneous abutment of an extra-oral implant provides two main functions: support of bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) and fixing maxillofacial prosthesis (MFP). Further developing this concept, and using available surgical strategies and materials, leads to a new application in extra-oral implantology. We analyzed the evolution of concepts in the field of permanent percutaneous connection (PPC) to the new concept of PPEC (permanent percutaneous electric connection), presenting a clinical case.

Electrical Synapses
Gap junctions allow the current to pass directly from one cell to the next. In contrast, in the chemical synapse, the neurotransmitters carry the information through the synaptic cleft from one neuron to the next. They consist of two...

Electrical Conductivity
In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...
