OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of abutment geometry on papillary fill in the esthetic zone in a delayed crown protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-six subjects received two non-adjacent endosseous implants in the esthetic zone. Functional temporary crowns were installed 17-19 weeks later, using …

Disorders of Sex Development (DSD)-patiënten zijn patiënten met een congenitale conditie waarbij de chromosomale, gonadale of de anatomische geslachtsontwikkeling atypisch is.

Het biopolymeer netwerk bepaalt de macroscopische eigenschappen in voeding zoals smaak, mondgevoel en opnamen/uitgiften eigenschappen. De structuur van het biopolymeer netwerk verschilt op meso schaal (mm tot nm). Κ-carrageen gel werd geselecteerd als een model systemen, omdat deze polysacharide in aanwezigheid …
