The Conometric Concept: Coupling Connection for Immediately Loaded Titanium-Reinforced Provisional Fixed Partial
Summary
This study shows that using a novel conic coupling connection for immediate dental implants with titanium-reinforced temporary restorations is feasible. This method offers a successful and cost-effective treatment for patients over a 3-year period.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Prosthodontics
- Biomaterials
Background:
- Immediate loading of dental implants offers potential benefits for patients.
- Conventional retention methods for temporary restorations can face challenges.
- Novel connection systems are needed to improve implant-supported restorations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the feasibility of a conic coupling connection for immediate loading.
- To evaluate titanium-reinforced temporary fixed partial restorations.
- To determine the 3-year outcomes of this novel approach.
Main Methods:
- Prospective study design.
- Placement of implants in fresh extraction sockets.
- Retention of restorations using a conic coupling connection.
- 3-year follow-up recording bone levels, probing depths, and complications.
Main Results:
- A trend of bone overgrowth over the implant platform was observed.
- Complete fill of the vertical gap between implant and bone was noted by 6 months.
- No prosthesis disconnections occurred during 3 years of function.
- 78 implants in 39 patients completed the 3-year follow-up.
Conclusions:
- The conic coupling connection is a feasible method for retaining immediate restorations.
- Titanium-reinforced temporary restorations with this connection are successful.
- This approach presents a cost-effective treatment modality for dental implants.

01:17Steel Fastening Techniques

Steel sections can be joined together through various fastening techniques including riveting, bolting, and welding, each suitable for different structural requirements and conditions.
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
Bolting is another...

A square-threaded screw jack is a mechanical device widely used for lifting heavy loads or applying considerable force. One of the key features that can make a screw jack more effective and reliable is its self-locking capability.
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.

01:15Posttensioned Masonry Walls
571
Post-tensioned masonry walls use high-strength steel rods or flexible tendons to enhance the strength and efficiency of masonry structures. These elements are securely anchored to the foundation and extend vertically either within the cores of the masonry units or between the masonry wythes. The construction process involves building the wall with these tensioning elements in place and allowing the mortar to fully cure.
Following the curing process, the tensioning begins. Steel rods are...
