Biomechanical Evaluation of Ti-Nb-Sn Alloy Implants with a Low Young’s Modulus

چکیده
Dental implants are widely used and are a predictable treatment in various edentulous cases. Occlusal overload may be causally related to implant bone loss and a loss of integration. Stress concentrations may be diminished using a mechanobiologically integrated implant with bone tissue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical behavior, biocompatibility and bioactivity of a Ti-Nb-Sn alloy as a dental implant material. It was compared with cpTi. Cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were quantified. To assess the degree of osseointegration, a push-in test was carried out. Cell proliferation and ALP activity in the cells grown on prepared surfaces were similar for the Ti-Nb-Sn alloy and for cpTi in all the experiments. A comparison between the Ti-Nb-Sn alloy implant and the cpTi implant revealed that no significant difference was apparent for the push-in test values. These results suggest that implants fabricated using Ti-Nb-Sn have a similar biological potential as cpTi and are capable of excellent osseointegration.

Beta Ti Alloys with Low Young’s Modulus
Composition dependence of Young’s modulus in Ti-V and Ti-Nb binary alloys and Sn-added ternary alloys quenched from phase region was investigated at room temperature in relation to the stability of phase. A minimum of Young’s modulus in the binary alloys appears at such a composition that athermal ! phase transformation is almost completely suppressed. Formation of isothermal ! phase by aging a...

The effect of oxygen content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Ti-29mass%Nb-13mass%Ta-4.6mass%Zr (TNTZ) alloy was investigated in this study. The microstructural observation of TNTZ alloys, containing 0.1–0.4mass% oxygen, subjected to solution treatment shows the presence of a single phase. With an increase in oxygen content, the hardness, tensile strength, and Young’s modu...

The application of Ti-6Al-4V alloy or commercially pure titanium for additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of complex structural implants and patient-specific implant geometries. However, the difference in Young's modulus of α + β-phase Ti alloys compared to the human bone promotes stress-shielding effects in the implant-bone interphase. The aim of the present study is the mechanical c...
