Among various dental materials and their successful applications, a dental implant is a good
example of the integrated system of science and technology involved in multiple disciplines …

Purpose: Titanium dental implants have a high success rate; however, there are instances
when a modified surface may be desirable. The aim of this article was to systematically …

For clinical implantation purposes of shape memory metals the nearly equiatomic nickel–
titanium (NiTi) alloy is generally used. In this study, the corrosion properties and surface …

The understanding of corrosion behavior in NiTi is critical for the devices using this shape-
memory alloy. In order to improve the surface properties of NiTi such as corrosion …

A high-power laser was used to melt the surface of NiTi shape memory alloy. The rapid
solidification rate of the laser-melted pool results in the formation of a surface layer …

Sterilization is required for using any device in contact with the human body. Numerous
authors have studied device properties after sterilization and reported on bulk and surface …

Over the past decade the increase of elderly population has determined a rise in the
incidence of bone fractures, and the improvement of the implant–bone interface remains an …

Abstract The Ti‐6Al‐7Nb alloy has been recently developed for biomedical use, particularly
for orthopedics and dental applications. Osteosynthesis has been used to analyze …

Recently, it has been suggested that the future designs of implants and endoprothesis
should be focused on the use of a new generation of biocompatible, corrosion and wear …

Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) has recently been proposed to coat
orthopedic and dental prostheses with metal nanostructured oxide films through the …
