Titanium and its alloys are used in dental and orthopaedic applications. Chemical and physical properties of implant surfaces are important determinants of implant stability and osteointegration. In this study, pure titanium, anodized titania and ordered titanium dioxide nanotubular plates were coated with calcium phosphate using a modified SBF solution and pulsed electrodeposition process at 80°C,...
Mini-implants (1-2 mm in diameter) are miniscrews that are placed in the jaw bones to help orthodontists move teeth in a controlled manner. The reasons behind their increasing popularity over the past decade is that mini-implants are easily placed and removed under local anaesthetic and can withstand up to 300 g force. Unfortunately, their high rate of failure (10-30%) poses a problem to clinicians...
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a biological and bioactive material, which has promise as a coating material for orthopedic and dental implants. Some HAp coating methods have been investigated and the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method is one of the most candidate. Previous PLD researchers deposited the HAp coatings on heated Ti and Ti-alloy substrates in order to crystallize the coatings. However, the...
A large mandibular discontinuity defect is most often due to severe trauma, infection or resection for neoplasm. Reconstruction plates have been popularly applied to bridge mandibular defects without bone grafting. The esthetics and continuity of the mandible with segmental defects could be rehabilitated successfully. However, the function is difficult to reconstructed using this type of plate. Furthermore,...
