FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS IN DEFINING THE OPTIMAL SHAPE AND SAFETY FACTOR OF RETENTIVE CLASP ARMS OF REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE

Finite element analysis in defining the optimal shape and safety factor of retentive clasp arms of removable partial denture

Bacground/Aim.Retentive force of removable partial denture (RPD) directly depends on elastic force of stretched retentive clasp arms (RCAs).During deflection RCA must have even stress distribution.Safety factor is the concept which can be applied in estimating durability and functionality of RCAs.This study was based on analyzing properties of clas

Inclusion of PF68 Surfactant Improves Stability of rAAV Titer when Passed through a Surgical Device Used in Retinal Gene Therapy

Recent advances in recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) gene therapy for choroideremia show gene replacement to be a promising approach.It is, however, well known that contact of vector solution with plastic materials in the surgical device may result in outdoor round junction box for 3 screw base cameras non-specific adsorption with resulting
