Repair, reconstruction, and replacement of congenital malformations, either in case of
exogenous or iatrogenic tissue and organ defects, requires utilization of a large number of …

Improvements in durable lubrication together with minimized wear are essential for
obtaining long-term, functioning metallic joint prostheses. To achieve this objective, CoCr …

Within modular taper junctions of total hip implants (THA), nominally “smooth” metallic
surfaces contain multiple micro-asperities that slide, are plastically deformed, have their …

The current research of corrosion resistance of stainless steels mainly focuses on
characterization of the passive films by point defect mode and mixed-conduction model. The …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the viability of the cp-Ti obtained through the
laser-directed energy deposition (LDED) technique as a material for dental prostheses …

The objective of this study was to compare four manufacturing processes of Co-Cr dental
alloys: casting (CAST), computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of cobalt-chromium dental
alloys processed by alternative computer assisted technologies compared to conventional …

Abstract Acetabular components (DePuy Pinnacle (A) and Stryker Trident (B), Ti‐6Al‐4V
