A hole for implant placement was prepared, and 2 self-tapping titanium implants (3.75 × 7 mm and 4 × 7 mm) were placed in the same location and at the same orientation, one after the other.
Additional sub-samples (< 8 mm) were placed in a rainfall simulator pan (0.6 m × 0.6 m test area) and subjected to simulated rainfall at an intensity of 64 mm h− 1.
Custom implants in three glenosphere diameters (30, 36, and 42 mm), with 3 different centers of rotation offsets (0, +5, and +10 mm), were placed into a Sawbones scapula (Pacific Research Laboratories, Vashon, WA) in 3 different positions: superior, center, and inferior glenoid.
Stirrups with diameter of 6 mm were placed with 150 mm spacing along the beam.
The concrete specimens of the size Ø50 × 75 mm were placed between two platens and positioned under the load cells.
Six color rings (4 mm with an opening of 2 mm) were placed in the center of the platform.
Sterile coupons (90×9090 × 1 mm) were placed in the horizontal position in cell culture dishes (140 mm in diameter).
Dial gauges of least count 0.01 mm were placed at every quarter effective span of the beam to measure the deflection.
Double implants (Ankylos implants; diameter, 3.5 mm; length, 9.5 and 11 mm) were placed diagonally in the missing region 3 months after GBR (Fig. 7).
Stirrups with a diameter of 6 mm were placed with spans of 300 mm as shear reinforcement in all test specimens except for DE1.
Two pieces of stainless steel stripes with an air gap of 8 mm were placed 18 cm below the tip of the needle [24].
