Finite Element Method and Von Mises Investigation on Bone Response to Dynamic Stress with a Novel Conical Dental Implant Connection
2020
The bioengineering and medical and biomedical fields are ever closer, and they manage to obtain surprising results for the development of new devices. The field of simulations and studies in silica has undergone considerable development in recent years, favoring the advancement of medicine. In this manuscript, a study was carried out to evaluate the force distribution on the implant components (In-Kone® Universal) and on the peri-implant tissues subjected to loading. With the finite element analysis and the Von Mises method, it was possible to evaluate this distribution of forces both at 0 degrees (occlusal force) and at 30 degrees; the applied force was 800 N. The obtained results on this …
Mechanical resistance of zirconium implant abutments: A review of the literature
2010
The increase of aesthetic demands, together with the successful outcome of current implants, has renewed interest in the search for new materials with enough mechanical properties and better aesthetic qualities than the materials customarily used in implanto-prosthetic rehabilitation. Among these materials, zirconium has been used in different types of implants, including prosthetic abutments. The aim of the present review is to analyse current scientific evidence supporting the use of this material for the above mentioned purposes. We carried out the review of the literature published in the last ten years (2000 through 2010) of in vitro trials of dynamic and static loading of zirconium ab…
Comparative fracture behavior of monolithic and veneered zirconia posterior fixed dental prostheses
2017
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and to compare the fracture load and the fracture pattern of monolithic and veneered zirconia posterior fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). Twenty standardized steel dies were prepared to receive posterior 3-unit FDPs. Specimens were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=10): (1) Lava Zirconia, and (2) Lava Plus. All FDPs were cemented using glass ionomer cement and subjected to thermal and mechanical cycling at 5-55ºC with a 30-s dwell time for 120,000 masticatory cycles. All specimens were subjected to a three-point bending test until fracture. Data were statistically analyzed using Student's t test, paired t-test and Weibull statistics (α=0.05). No diffe…
Effect of Thermomechanical and Static Loading on the Load to Fracture of Metal‐Ceramic, Monolithic and Veneered Zirconia Posterior Fixed Partial Dent…
2018
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of static (not preloaded) and thermomechanical loading on the load to fracture of metal-ceramic, monolithic and veneered zirconia computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) posterior fixed partial dentures (FPDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred standardized specimens with 2 abutments screwed onto a platform were prepared from stainless steel to receive a posterior 3-unit FPD with an intermediate pontic. Specimens were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 20): Metal-ceramic (control group), Lava Zirconia system, Vita In-Ceram YZ, IPS e.max ZirCAD, and Lava Plus. Half of the specimens of each group (n = 10) underwent no preloading, and the…
In vitro retentive strength of zirconium oxide ceramic crowns using different luting agents
2005
Statement of problem In contrast to gold crowns, in vitro determination of the retentive strength of all-ceramic crowns is more difficult because components allowing connection to testing apparatus are not as easily integrated into the all-ceramic material. Nevertheless, retentive strength data are crucial for obtaining information about the potential clinical performance of luting cements for all-ceramic restorations. Therefore, a new in vitro model was necessary to evaluate the retentive strength of all-ceramic crowns. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the retentive strength of 4 resin-cement systems, a compomer, a glass-ionomer cement, a resin-modified glass-ion…
Measurement of gap between abutment and fixture in dental conical connection implants. A focused ion beam SEM observation
2020
Background The aim of the authors was to examine the abutment-fixture interface in Morse-type conical implants in order to verify gaps at this level using a new microscopical approach. Material and Methods In this in vitro study, 20 abutment-fixture complexes were prepared by sectioning (longitudinal and cross-sectional to the long axis) with a microtome and then with a focused ion beam (FIB). This is a micrometric machine tool that uses gallium ions to abrade circumscribed areas to dig deeper into the cuts obtained with the microtome in order to eliminate cut-induced artifacts. This is because the FIB abrasion is practically free from artifacts, which are normally generated by the action o…
Adsorption mechanism of arsenate by zirconyl-functionalized activated carbon
2007
Arsenate [As(V)] and arsenite [As(III)] sorption at the solid-water interface of activated carbon impregnated with zirconyl nitrate (Zr-AC) was investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and surface complexation modeling. The XAS data at the Zr K-edge suggest that the structure of the zirconyl nitrate coating is built from chains of edge-sharing ZrO8 trigonal dodecahedra bound to each other through two double hydroxyl bridges. The 8-fold coordination of each Zr atom is completed by four O atoms, which share a bit less than the two theoretically possible bidentate nitrate groups. On impregnation, two of the O atoms may lose their nitrate group and be transformed to hydroxyl group…

The preparation and magnetic investigation of five mononuclear copper(II) complexes of formula [Cu(pyim)(C2O4)(H2O)]·2H2O (1), [Cu(pyim)(C4O4)(H2O)2]·2H2O (2), Cu(pyim)(C5O5)·2.5H2O (3), [Cu(H2bim)(C2O4)(H2O)]·H2O (4) and [Cu(bpz)(C5O5)(H2O)] (5) [pyim=2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole, H2bim=2,2′-biimidazole, bpz=2,2′-bipyrazine, C2O42−=dianion of oxalic acid, C4O42−=dianion of squaric acid and C5O52−=dianion of croconic acid] are reported. The crystal structures of 1, 2, 4 and 5 have been determined. The copper atom has a distorted square pyramidal geometry in this family of complexes: two nitrogen atoms from the bidentate nitrogen donor [pyim (1 and 2), H2bim (4) and bpz (5)] and two oxygen atoms e…

Abstract Two dinuclear iron(II) complexes of formulae [Fe2(bpym)(C5O5)2(H2O)4]·2H2O (1) and [Fe2(bpym)(C4O4)2(H2O)6]·2H2O (2) (bpym = 2,2-bipyrimidine, C5O52 = dianion of croconic acid (4,5-dihydroxycylopent-4-ene-1,2,3-trione) and C4O42 = dianion of squaric acid (3,4-dihydroxycyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione)) were prepared and their crystal structures (at 103 K) determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure of 1 consists of neutral centrosymmetric [Fe2(bpym)(C5O5)2(H2O)4] units and water molecules of crystallization which are linked by an extensive network of hydrogen bonds. The coordination geometry around each iron atom is that of a compressed octahedron with bpym nitrogen atoms and cr…
Simultaneous determinations of zirconium, hafnium, yttrium and lanthanides in seawater according to a co-precipitation technique onto iron-hydroxide.
2013
Very low concentrations (pg mL(-1) or sub-pg mL(-1) level) along with the high salinity are the main problems in determining trace metal contents in seawater. This problem is mainly considered for investigations of naturally occurring YLOID (Y and Lanthanides) and Zr and Hf in order to provide precise and accurate results. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), both in high and low resolution, offers many advantages including simultaneous analyses of all elements and their quantitative determination with detection limits of the order of pg mL(-1). However in the analysis of YLOID in seawater, a better determination needs an efficient combination of ICP-MS measurement wit…
