fluoride/fatigue

New bone cements that include several additives are currently being investigated and tested. One such additive is sodium fluoride (NaF), which promotes bone formation, facilitating implant integration and success. The influence of NaF on the fatigue performance of the cement as used in biomedical

Acrylic bone cement must provide good radiographic visibility and good long-term mechanical resistance in joint replacements. A new formulation of cement with 6% barium sulfate and 6% sodium fluoride was developed (Fluoride Bone Cement). Barium sulfate is a necessary addition to allow radiographic

In this study, the cracking susceptibility and fatigue behavior of Nd:YAG laser-welded cast Ti joints (welding pulse energy: 11, 15, and 18 J) in fluoride-containing (0 and 0.5% NaF) artificial saliva were evaluated using constant elongation rate test (CERT) and fatigue test (FT), respectively. Both

The skeletal response to damaging fatigue loading is not fully understood. We used (18)F-fluoride PET to describe the time course of the skeletal response following the creation of increasing levels of in vivo, fatigue-induced damage. The right forelimbs of 40 adult rats were loaded in vivo in

OBJECTIVE The influence of fatigue and the fluoride ion corrosion process on Streptococcus mutans adherence to commercially pure Titanium (Cp Ti) implant/component set surfaces were studied. METHODS Thirty Nobel implants and 30 Neodent implants were used. Each commercial brand was divided into three

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of a fluoridated medium on the mechanical properties of an internal hexagon implant-abutment set, by means of compression, mechanical cycling and metallographic characterization by scanning electronic microscopy. Five years of regular use of oral

Fatigue, a hot scientific research topic for centuries, can trigger sudden failure of critical structures such as aircraft and railway systems, resulting in enormous casualties as well as economic losses. The fatigue life of certain structures is intrinsically random and few monitoring techniques

Metallic dental implants are exposed to various intraoral environments and repetitive loads during service. Relatively few studies have systematically addressed the potential influence of the environment on the mechanical integrity of the implants, which is therefore the subject of this study. Four

Here, we studied the self-healing of composite materials filled with epoxy-containing nanofibers. An initial incision in the middle of a composite sample stretched in a static fatigue test can result in either crack propagation or healing. In this study, crack evolution was observed in real time. A

In order to evaluate the influence of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application on enamel and dentin bond stability of universal adhesives in self-etch mode, a 38% SDF and three universal adhesives were used in this study. Initial shear bond strength (ISBS), fatigue bond strength (FBS), and

This study evaluated the corrosion-fatigue life of laser-repaired specimens fabricated from commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V alloy, tested under different storage conditions. For each metal, 30 dumbbell rods with a central 2.3 mm diameter were prepared by lost-wax casting with the

A single-pot, wet chemical method has been reported for the synthesis of bismuth fluoride nanoparticles (BF) and functionalized BF within the network of carbon nitride (BFCN). In BFCN, a structural transformation of BF, from cubic to pseudo-cubic (as evidenced by Rietveld refinement analysis),

The characteristics of ferroelectric capacitors with poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethlene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) films have been studied at different structures of cell electrodes. It is suggested that the effect of electrode structures could induce changes of performance. Remarkably, cells with line

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of fluid environment mimicking intra-oral conditions on fatigue performance of standard diameter, 3.75-mm implants. Dental implants placed intra-orally are repeatedly submitted to mastication loads in the oral environment, which differ
