Climate forcing reconstructions for use in the PMIP simulations of the last millennium

Simulations of climate over the Last Millennium (850–1850 CE) have been incorporated into the third phase of the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP3). The drivers of climate over this period are chiefly orbital, solar, volcanic, changes in land use/land cover and some variation in greenhouse gas levels. While some of these effects can be easily defined, the reconstructions of solar, volcanic and land use-related forcing are more uncertain. We describe here the approach taken in defining the scenarios used in PMIP3, document the forcing reconstructions and discuss likely implications.

What is the optimal number of implants for fixed reconstructions: a systematic review

To assess the 5-year and 10-year survival and complication rates of implant-supported fixed reconstructions in partially and totally edentulous patients with regard to the optimal number and distribution of dental implants.

What is the optimal number of implants for removable reconstructions? A systematic review on implant-supported overdentures

The aim of this systematic review was to assess the optimal number of implants for removable reconstructions.

Internal vs. external connections for abutments/reconstructions: a systematic review

The objectives of the review were (1) to evaluate the accuracy of implant-level impressions in cases with internal and external connection abutments/reconstructions, and (2) to evaluate the incidence of technical complications of internal and external connection metal- or zirconia-based abutments and single-implant reconstructions.

Cemented and screw-retained implant reconstructions: a systematic review of the survival and complication rates

To assess the 5-year survival rates and incidences of complications of cemented and screw-retained implant reconstructions.
