No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2012-10-01; While randomized controlled clinical studies are strongly suggested as the optimal approach to evaluate the performance of biomaterials and design aspects of dental implants and prosthetic components, these studies are at times not economically viable. Thus, well designed in vitro studies associating vi...
