Effect of implant macro-design on primary stability: a prospective clinical study
(Medicina Oral, Patología Oral y Cirugía Bucal, 2016)Background: Implant restorations have become a high predictable treatment option. Several caracteristics such as surgical technique and implant design can influence the treatment outcomes. The aim of ... -
Effect of implantoplasty on roughness, fatigue and corrosion behavior of narrow diameter dental implants
(Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2023)Implantoplasty (IP) is used in dental implants with peri-implantitis and aims to remove threads and polish rough surfaces in order to prevent bacterial colonization. As a result of this procedure, implant ... -
Effect of load distribution on trunk muscle activity with lunge exercises in amateur athletes: cross-sectional study
(Healthcare, 2023)Background: The effect of load distribution applied to the trunk musculature with lunge exercises has yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of load placement using ... -
The effect of oral citicoline and docosahexaenoic acid on the visual field of patients with glaucoma: a randomized trial
(Life, 2022)The role of nutraceuticals in the treatment of glaucoma remains controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of citicoline, vitamin C, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in patients with ... -
Effect of scapular fixation on lateral movement and scapular rotation during glenohumeral lateral distraction mobilisation
(Healthcare, 2023)Background: Glenohumeral lateral distraction mobilisation (GLDM) is used in patients with shoulder mobility dysfunction. No one has examined the effect of scapular fixation during GLDM. The aim was to ... -
The effect of Scapular Fixation on scapular and humeral head movements during glenohumeral axial distraction mobilization
(Medicina, 2022)Background and Objectives: Glenohumeral axial distraction mobilization (GADM) is a usual mobilization technique for patients with shoulder dysfunctions. The effect of scapular fixation on the movement ... -
Effect of stabilized martensite on the long-term performance of superelastic NiTi endodontic files
(Materials, 2023)One of the most used rotary files in endodontics is NiTi files due to their superelastic properties. This property means that this instrument has extraordinary flexion that can adapt to large angles ... -
Effect of temperature on the orthodontic clinical applications of NiTi closed-coil springs
(Medicina Oral, Patologia Oral y Cirugia Bucal, 2013-07-01)NiTi spring coils were used to obtain large deformation under a constant force. The device consists on a NiTi coil spring, superelastic at body temperature, in order to have a stress plateau during the ... -
Effect of the acid-etching on grit-blasted dental implants to improve osseointegration: histomorphometric analysis of the bone-implant contact in the rabbit tibia model
(Coatings, 2021)Previous studies have shown that the most reliable way to evaluate the success of an implant is by bone-to-implant contact (BIC). Recent techniques allow modifications to the implant surface that improve ... -
Effect of the nature of the particles released from bone level dental implants: physicochemical and biological characterization
(Coatings, 2022)The placement of bone–level dental implants can lead to the detachment of particles in the surrounding tissues due to friction with the cortical bone. In this study, 60 bone–level dental implants were ... -
Effect of the size of titanium particles released from dental implants on immunological response
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022)The techniques used in oral implantology to remove bacterial biofilm from the surface of implants by machining the titanium surface (implantoplasty) or by placing rough dental implants through friction ... -
Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Improving clinicians’ diagnostic and communication skills on antibiotic prescribing appropriateness in patients with acute cough in primary care in Catalonia (the ISAAC-CAT study): study protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial
(Trials, 2019-12-17)Background: Despite their marginal benefit, about 60% of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTIs) are currently treated with antibiotics in Catalonia. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness ... -
Effectiveness of a multicomponent training program on physical performance and muscle quality in older adults: a quasi-experimental study
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023)Aging is associated with a decrease in functional capacity, manifested by a loss of strength, physical performance and muscle quality. Multicomponent training (MCT), characterized by the combination of ... -
Effectiveness of a nurse-led, face-to-face health coaching intervention in enhancing activation and secondary outcomes of primary care users with chronic conditions
(Research in Nursing & Health, 2021)Prevalence of chronic diseases and multimorbidity is rising, and it remains unclear what the best strategy is for activating people with chronic conditions in their self-care. We designed a two-group ... -
