Influence of narrow titanium dental implant diameter on fatigue behavior: a comparison between unitary and splinted implants
(MDPI, 2024)
Background: Scientific literature lacks strong support for using narrow diameter implants (NDI) in high masticatory force areas, especially in molars. Implant splinting in cases of multiple missing teeth ...
Fracture and fatigue of titanium narrow dental implants: new trends in order to improve the mechanical response
(MDPI, 2019-11-12)
Sixty-four fractured commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) narrow dental implants (NDIs) with similar macrogeometry and connection designs were studied after different implantation times in humans in order ...
In vitro assessment of a new block design for implant crowns with functional gradient fabricated with resin composite and zirconia insert
(MDPI, 2024)
This study aims to evaluate and compare the mechanical resistance, fatigue behavior and fracture behavior of different CAD/CAM materials for implant crowns. Eighty-eight implant crowns cemented-screwed ...
Two different strategies to enhance osseointegration in porous titanium: inorganic thermo-chemical treatment versus organic coating by peptide adsorption
(MDPI, 2018)
In this study, highly-interconnected porous titanium implants were produced by powder sintering with different porous diameters and open interconnectivity. The actual foams were produced using high cost ...
Mechanical properties of CoCr dental-prosthesis restorations made by three manufacturing processes: influence of the microstructure and topography
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of this study is to compare the mechanical properties of three different dental restorations’ manufacturing processes (CADCAM milling, casting and laser sintering) generated by only one laboratory ...
Relevant aspects of piranha passivation in Ti6Al4V alloy dental meshes
(MDPI, 2022)
Passivation of titanium alloy dental meshes cleans their surface and forms a thin layer of protective oxide (TiO2) on the surface of the material to improve resistance to corrosion and prevent release ...
Antibacterial properties of triethoxysilylpropyl succinic anhydride silane (TESPSA) on titanium dental implants
(MDPI, 2020)
Infections related to dental implants are a common complication that can ultimately lead to implant failure, and thereby carries significant health and economic costs. In order to ward off these infections, ...
On-growth and In-growth osseointegration enhancement in PM porous Ti-scaffolds by two different bioactivation strategies: alkali thermochemical treatment and RGD Ppeptide coating
(MDPI, 2022)
A lack of primary stability and osteointegration in metallic implants may result in implant loosening and failure. Adding porosity to metallic implants reduces the stress shielding effect and improves ...
Laser-deposited beta type Ti-42Nb alloy with anisotropic mechanical properties for pioneering biomedical implants with a very low elastic modulus
(MDPI, 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 characterization of dental prostheses manufactured with PMMA–graphene composites
(Materials, 2022)
The use of a PMMA composite with graphene is being commercialized for application as dental prostheses. The different proportions of fibers provide a wide range of colors that favors dental esthetics ...
