Modern medicine is still struggling to find new and more effective methods for fighting off
viruses, bacteria and fungi. Among the most dangerous and at times life-threatening fungi is …

Aseptic loosening induced by wear-induced osteolysis is considered to be one of the
primary factors leading to the revision surgeries which represent a major hurdle for …

Selective laser melting (SLM) is applied to manufacture a Ti–6Al–4V conrod, an engine
component, in order to reduce the weight respect to the original version produced by forging …

In the present study, a dry sliding wear test has been conducted to analyse the wear rate of
Ti-6Al-4V alloy specimens which were fabricated using selective laser melting and …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the removal torque and in vitro biofilm
penetration at Morse taper and hexagonal implant-abutment joints after fatigue tests …

PEEK is a promising polymer possessing high mechanical strength and biocompatibility and
therefore it can be associated to titanium for biomedical applications. This study aimed at …

Introduction Titanium is considered to be an inert material owing to the ability of the material
to form a passive titanium oxide layer. However, once the titanium oxide layer is lost, it can …

The use of dental implants is growing rapidly for the last few decades and Ti-based dental
implants are a commonly used prosthetic structure in dentistry. Recently, the combined effect …

In the present study, we apply electrochemical and molecular biology approaches to
establish whether microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) may be the reason for dental …

Surface nitriding of titanium and titanium alloys is a commonly used method to enhance their
wear properties. In this work, the pulsed laser was used to nitride TA1 commercially pure …
