Development of biomimetic NiTi alloy: influence of thermo-chemical treatment on the physical, mechanical and biological behavior
(Materials, 2016)A bioactive layer, free of nickel, has been performed for its greater acceptability and reliability in clinical applications for NiTi shape memory alloys. In the first step, a safe barrier against Ni ... -
Fatigue of narrow dental implants: influence of the hardening method
(Materials, 2020)The use of narrow titanium dental implants (NDI) for small ridges, reduced interdental space, or missing lateral incisors can be a viable option when compared to the conventional wider dental implants. ... -
In-situ laser directed energy deposition of biomedical Ti-Nb and Ti-Zr-Nb alloys from elemental powders
(Metals, 2021)In order to achieve the required properties of titanium implants, more resources and research are needed to turn into reality the dream of developing the perfect implant material. The objective of this ... -
Influence of the elastic modulus on the osseointegration of dental implants
(Materials, 2019-03-25)The load transfer from metallic prosthesis to tissue plays an important role in the success of a designed device. From a mechanical behavior point of view, the load transfer will be favored when the ... -
Laser-deposited beta type Ti-42Nb alloy with anisotropic mechanical properties for pioneering biomedical implants with a very low elastic modulus
(Materials, 2022)Present commercial titanium alloy implants have an elastic modulus higher than 100 GPa, whereas that of the cortical bone is much smaller (17–28 GPa). This elastic modulus mismatch produces a stress ... -
Mechanical and microstructural characterization of new nickel-free low modulus beta-type titanium wires during thermomechanical treatments
(Materials Science and Engineering: A, 2015-06-11)NiTi alloy is the only practical shape memory alloy (SMA) in biomedical use because of its excellent mechanical stability and functionality. However, it is estimated that between 4.5% and 28.5% of the ...
