Selected AbstractsBauteiloberfläche und Schwingfestigkeit , Untersuchungen zum Einfluss der Randschicht auf die Dauerschwingfestigkeit von Bauteilen aus StahlMATERIALWISSENSCHAFT UND WERKSTOFFTECHNIK, Issue 5 2006U. Kleemann Dipl.-Ing. surface; surface layer; fatigue strength; surface stress-concentration factor Abstract Die Berechnung der Schwingfestigkeit hat in den letzten Jahren für die Bauteilentwicklung an Bedeutung gewonnen. Aus Zeit- und Kostengründen wird angestrebt, den experimentellen Festigkeitsnachweis auf die Freigabe von Sicherheitsteilen zu beschränken. Die Schwingfestigkeit von glatten, polierten Werkstoffproben (Spannungs- und Dehnungswöhlerlinie) kann heute mit guter Treffsicherheit abgeschätzt bzw. entsprechenden Katalogen entnommen werden. Die Übertragbarkeit der Schwingfestigkeit von Werkstoffproben auf reale Bauteile ist jedoch mit erheblichen Schwierigkeiten verbunden, da eine Reihe von Einflussgrößen zu berücksichtigen sind wie Geometrie und Größe, Mittelspannung, Beanspruchungsart, Mehrachsigkeit, Randschicht (Oberflächentopographie, Eigenspannungen, Gefüge, Härte), Temperatur, korrosive Medien u.,a.. Der Einfluss dieser Größen ist komplex und lässt sich nur sehr grob durch eine Multiplikation von Einflussfaktoren beschreiben. Der heutige Stand im Technischen Regelwerk zum Oberflächeneinfluss, z.,B. FKM-Richtlinie ,Rechnerischer Festigkeitsnachweis für Maschinenbauteile", basiert auf einem Kenntnisstand, der 50 Jahre zurückliegt. Der Ausgang für das Forschungsvorhaben war die Forderung der Industrie nach einer verbesserten rechnerischen Erfassung des Einflusses der Oberflächenbearbeitung bei Zerspanung. Hierzu wurde auf einen Vorschlag von Liu zurückgegriffen, der die Oberflächentopographie neben der Rauheit durch eine Oberflächenformzahl kennzeichnet. Zur Erfassung des Werkstoffes wird eine charakteristische Strukturlänge eingeführt, die sich aus der Werkstoffwechselfestigkeit und dem Schwellenwert für makroskopischen Rissfortschritt berechnet. Weiterhin wurde überprüft, welche Festigkeitshypothesen in der Lage sind, den biaxialen Eigenspannungszustand an der zerspanten Oberfläche realistisch zu erfassen. Damit kann ein Konzept vorgeschlagen werden, mit dem die Dauerfestigkeit zutreffend berechnet werden kann, wenn die statische Festigkeit, die Oberflächentopographie und die Eigenspannungen bekannt sind. Zur Validierung werden Schwingversuche an drei Stählen und zwei Sphärogusslegierungen bei unterschiedlichen Randschichteigenschaften durchgeführt. Structural component surface and fatigue strength , Investigations on the effect of the surface layer on the fatigue strength of structural steel components For the development of structural components, the importance of calculating the fatigue strength has steadily increased during recent years. In order to save time and cost, efforts are in progress for limiting experimental strength testing to the release of safety components. The fatigue strength of smooth, polished material specimens (stress and strain S-N curve) can now be estimated with high accuracy, or can be obtained from the corresponding catalogs. However, the results of fatigue strength determinations on material specimens cannot be applied to real components without considerable difficulty, since a number of decisive parameters must be taken into account. These factors include the geometry and size, mean stress, type of load, multiaxiality, surface layer (surface topography, residual stresses, structure, hardness), temperature, corrosive media, etc. The effect of these parameters is complex, and a multiplication of the various decisive factors yields only a very rough description. The current state of the art in the catalog of technical rules on surface effects, such as the FKM guideline, "Computational Demonstration of Strength for Machine Components", is based on results which were obtained 50 years ago. The original incentive for the research project was the industrial demand for an improved computational method for determining the effect of surface machining by cutting processes. For this purpose, recourse was made to a proposal by Liu, who characterises the surface topography, besides the roughness, with the use of a surface stress-concentration factor. A characteristic structural length is introduced for describing the material; this length is calculated from the fatigue strength of the material and the threshold value for macroscopic crack propagation. Moreover, a check was made to determine which strength hypotheses are capable of realistically describing the biaxial residual stress state on the machined surface. Thus, a concept can be proposed for accurately calculating the fatigue strength, provided that the static strength, the surface topography, and the residual stresses are known. For validation, alternating-load tests are to be performed on three types of steel and two nodular cast alloys with different surface layer properties. [source] Bone Tissue Responses to Surface-Modified Zirconia Implants: A Histomorphometric and Removal Torque Study in the RabbitCLINICAL IMPLANT DENTISTRY AND RELATED RESEARCH, Issue 2005Lars Sennerby DDS ABSTRACT Background: Zirconia ceramics are biocompatible and have mechanical properties that make them suitable as materials for dental implants. Little is known about how surface modification influences the stability and bone tissue response to zirconia implants. Purpose: The objective of the investigation was to histologically and biomechanically evaluate the bone tissue response to zirconia implants with two different surface modifications in comparison with machined, nonmodified zirconia implants and oxidized titanium implants. Materials and Methods: Threaded zirconia implants with a diameter of 3.75 mm with either a machined surface (Zr-Ctr) or one of two surface modifications (Zr-A and Zr-B) were manufactured. Oxidized titanium (Ti-Ox) implants 3.75 mm in diameter were also used. The implants were characterized with regard to surface topography using an interferometer. Twelve rabbits received 96 implants using a rotational scheme, two in each tibia and two in each femur. The implants in six rabbits were subjected to removal torque (RTQ) tests after a healing period of 6 weeks. The implants in the remaining six animals were removed en bloc for light microscopic analysis. Back-scatter scanning electron microscopic (BS-SEM) analyses were used to evaluate the state of the bone-implant interface at the modified zirconia implants after RTQ testing. Results: The Ti-Ox and Zr-A implants showed the highest surface roughness, followed by the Zr-B implants and, finally, the Zr-Ctr implants. The nonmodified ZrO2 implants showed statistically significant lower RTQs than all other implants. No significant differences in bone-implant contact or bone area filling the threads were observed. BS-SEM showed intact surface layers of the surface-modified implants after RTQ testing and revealed fracture of the interface bone rather than a separation. Conclusion: The present study showed a strong bone tissue response to surface-modified zirconia implants after 6 weeks of healing in rabbit bone. The modified zirconia implants showed a resistance to torque forces similar to that of oxidized implants and a four- to fivefold increase compared with machined zirconia implants. The findings suggest that surface-modified zirconia implants can reach firm stability in bone. [source] Short Implants in the Severely Resorbed Maxilla: A 2-Year Retrospective Clinical StudyCLINICAL IMPLANT DENTISTRY AND RELATED RESEARCH, Issue 2005Franck Renouard DDS ABSTRACT Background: Although the predictability of endosseous dental implants is well documented, the restoration of the posterior region of the maxilla remains a challenge. The placement of short implants is one therapeutic option that reduces the need for augmentation therapy. Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the survival rates of 6 to 8.5 mm-long implants in the severely resorbed maxilla following a surgical protocol for optimized initial implant stability. Materials and Methods: The study included 85 patients with 96 short (6,8.5 mm) implants (Brånemark System®, Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden) supporting single-tooth and partial reconstructions. The implants had a machined (54) or an oxidized (TiUniteÔ, Nobel Biocare AB) (42) surface. A one-stage surgical protocol with delayed loading was used. The patients were followed for at least 2 years after loading (average follow-up period 37.6 months). The marginal bone resorption was assessed by radiographic readings. Results: Five implants were lost during the first 9 months, and four implants were lost to follow-up. The cumulative survival rate was 94.6%. Four of the failed implants had a machined surface, and one had an oxidized surface. The mean marginal bone resorption after 2 years in function was 0.44 ± 0.52 mm. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the use of short implants maybe considered for prosthetic rehabilitation of the severely resorbed maxilla as an alternative to more complicated surgical techniques. [source] Osseointegration of Osseotite® and machined-surfaced titanium implants in membrane-covered critical-sized defects: a histologic and histometric study in dogsCLINICAL ORAL IMPLANTS RESEARCH, Issue 2 2007Alexander A. Veis Abstract: The texture of an implant's surface can influence the rate and extent of bone fixation as expressed by the amount of linear bone-to-implant contact (BIC). The purpose of this study was to compare the bone density and linear BIC between Osseotite® and machined-surface implants placed in bony defects without graft material and covered by a membrane. Thirty 2 mm diameter, 10 mm length custom implants were prepared for this study having a ,split surface,' with one side having the acid-etched surface and the opposite side having a machined surface. Defects were created in the iliac wing of three adult mongrel dogs where a 6-mm-diameter drill was used to generate a 5-mm-deep defect. The implants were inserted into the center of the defect with 5 mm secured into the bone leaving 5 mm free in the defect with a 2 mm gap between the implant and surrounding bone. Expanded polytetrafluroethelyene membranes were placed over the defect sites stabilized with Biotack® pins. The healing times were 2, 3, and 5 months. Histologic and histometric analysis showed significantly lower BIC in the defect region as compared with the portion of implant placed into native bone for both implant surfaces in all groups. There was no difference in BIC values at 2- and 5-month periods between the two surfaces in the regenerated area, while BIC values for Osseotite® surfaces were significantly higher than the machined surfaces at 3 months' healing time. Changes in bone density, observed between the three groups, affected correspondingly the BIC values in both implant surfaces, the effect being more pronounced in the Osseotite® surface. [source] Retrievability of implant-retained crowns following cementationCLINICAL ORAL IMPLANTS RESEARCH, Issue 12 2008Christian Mehl Abstract Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the retrievability of cemented implant crowns using two different removal devices. The influence of five cement types and two cement application techniques was evaluated. Methods: Forty copings were cast from a CoCr alloy for 40 tapered titanium abutments (5° taper, 4.3 mm diameter, 6 mm height, Camlog, Germany). Twenty copings were modeled as single crowns, whereas 20 copings were modeled with an extension to simulate fixed partial dentures (FPDs). Before cementation, the inner surfaces of the copings were air-abraded (50 ,m Al2O3 particles at 2.5 bars), while the abutments were used as delivered with machined surfaces. Copings were cemented with eugenol-free zinc oxide (Freegenol), zinc phosphate (Harvard), glass ionomer (Ketac Cem), polycarboxylate (Durelon) and so-called self-adhesive resin (RelyX Unicem) cement. Cement was applied in a thin film band of 1 or 3 mm to the cervical margin of the inner surface of the copings, respectively. After cementation, specimens were stored in saline solution for 24 h. The Coronaflex and a standardized custom-made removal device were used to remove the copings from the abutments. Results: Using the same cement, no statistically significant influence with regard to the type of restoration (crown/FDP), cement application mode and device was detected (P>0.05). Therefore, data of specimens cemented with the same cement were pooled. Median attempts to remove the copings were: zinc oxide: 3, self-adhesive resin: 3, zinc phosphate: 5, glass ionomer: 16 and polycarboxylate: 58. Four levels of significance (P<0.0001) were found: (1) zinc oxide/self-adhesive resin; (2) zinc phosphate; (3) glass ionomer; and (4) polycarboxylate. Conclusions: Zinc phosphate and glass ionomer cement might be suitable for a so-called ,semipermanent' (=retrievable) cementation, while polycarboxylate seems to provide the most durable cementation. [source] Bone regeneration of dental implant dehiscence defects using a cultured periosteum membraneCLINICAL ORAL IMPLANTS RESEARCH, Issue 3 2008Daiki Mizuno Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of a cultured periosteum (CP) membrane for use in guided bone regeneration at sites of implant dehiscence. Material and methods: Four healthy beagle dogs were used in this study. Implant dehiscence defects (4 × 4 × 3 mm) were surgically created at mandibular premolar sites where premolars had been extracted 3 months back. Dental implants (3.75 mm in diameter and 7 mm in length) with machined surfaces were placed into the defect sites (14 implants in total). Each dehiscence defective implant was randomly assigned to one of the following two groups: (1) PRP gel without cells (control) or (2) a periosteum membrane cultured on PRP gel (experimental). Dogs were killed 12 weeks after operation and nondecalcified histological sections were made for histomorphometric analyses including percent linear bone fill (LF) and bone-to-implant contact (BIC). Results: Bone regeneration in the treatment group with a CP membrane was significantly greater than that in the control group and was confirmed by LF analysis. LF values in the experimental and the control groups were 72.36±3.14% and 37.03±4.63%, respectively (P<0.05). The BIC values in both groups were not significantly different from each other. The BIC values in the experimental and the control groups were 40.76±10.30% and 30.58±9.69%, respectively (P=0.25) and were similar to native bone. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the feasibility of a CP membrane to regenerate bone at implant dehiscence defect.
