The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone tissue response strontium- and silicon-substituted apatite (Sr-HA Si-HA) modified titanium (Ti) implants. Sr-HA, Si-HA HA were grown on thermally oxidized Ti implants by a biomimetic process. Oxidized used as controls. Surface properties, i.e. chemical composition, surface thickness, morphology/pore characteristics, crystal structure roughness, characterized with various analytical techniques. inserted in rat tibiae block biopsies prepared for...

This study analyzed stress and strain mediated by 2 different implant materials, titanium (Ti) experimental fiber-reinforced composite (FRC), on the bone tissue surrounding implant. Three-dimensional finite element models constructed from a mandibular an were subjected to load of 50 N in vertical horizontal directions. Postprocessing files allowed calculation within materials stresses at bone-to-implant interface (stress path). Maximum concentrations located around rim cortical both...

The aim of this study was to investigate bone response bioactive fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) implants under two polymerization conditions. Glass-fiber-dimethacrylate tested as prepolymerized cylinder-shaped FRC and cylindrical polymerized in situ with blue light transmitted scattered by the glass fibers. Ten (6 4 situ-polymerized implants) were placed right tibias 3 pigs means a press-fit technique. After 12 weeks, microscopy revealed only mild foreign-body reaction, no accumulation...

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of implant design and bioactive glass ( BAG ) coating on response bone fiber‐reinforced composite FRC implants. Three different types were manufactured for study: non‐threaded implants with a coating; threaded grit‐blasted surface. Thirty‐six (six each group per time point) installed in tibiae six pigs. After an implantation period 4 12 wk, retrieved prepared micro‐computed tomography (micro‐ CT ), push‐out testing, scanning electron microscopy...

Abstract A prosthetically‐driven virtual implant plan is considered a challenging procedure depending on accurate registration of the three‐dimensional optical surface scan and 3D volumetric rendering reconstructed from cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. However, presence preexisting metal restorations may significantly negatively influence process. This technical report describes novel digital workflow to optimize planning outcome for partially edentulous patient with by...
