Stainless steels are the most common metallic biomaterial, used mainly as implants, for example in maxillo-facial surgery. In the work the corrosion resistance of implants, made of Cr-Ni-Mo steels, with the passive-carbon layer was tested. This has been investigated in laboratory test under simulated tissue environments. Moreover, biotolerance of implants, which have served as the internal fixation devices of mandibular fractures in clinical examinations, have been evaluated.

Purpose: The fundamental aim of this paper was to determine the corrosion behavior of miniplates with the passive-carbon layer in in vitro and in vivo tests into account the implantation technique. Design/methodology/approach: Corrosion resistance has been tested in the solution simulating tissue environments at temperature 37±1°C by recording of anodic polarization curves with the use of the potentiodynamic method. The VoltaLab® PGP 201 system for electrochemical tests has been applied. Chemical composition investigations of the adjacent tissue to the retrieved implants have been carried out with the use of scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (SEM-EDS) Findings: The paper presents preoperative surface treatment and its influence on corrosion and topographical properties and it can be useful for implants producers to take into consideration. That kind of surface coatings ensure high corrosion resistance of the implants in spite of damage while load bearing and during operation (prebending of implants). Coatings are flexible enough and wear resistant too. Research limitations/implications: The future research should be focused on the evaluation of new miniplate design and optimization of the surgical procedure. Practical implications: On the basis of the obtained results it can be stated that miniplates made of stainless steel with the passive-carbon layer can be applied in maxillo-facial surgery. Originality/value: The investigations indicate that the deformation of the surface layer does not depend on the resistance of implant to corrosion.

Celem pracy była ocena jakości stanu powierzchni implantu, która mogłaby wskazywać na przyczynę utraty integracji wszczepu śródkostnego. Badania obejmowały obserwacje mikroskopowe oraz analizę składu chemicznego wszczepu śródkostnego w mikroskopie skaningowym firmy ZEISS SUPRA 35 wyposażonego w detektor SE. Potwierdziły one wykonanie implantu ze stopu Ti- 6Al-4V oraz wskazały na zaistniały proces osteointegracji. Powodem utraty zintegrowanego wszczepu było prawdopodobnie przeciążenie mechaniczne oraz złe nawyki higieniczne, palenie tytoniu oraz współistniejąca choroba przyzębia i wywołane nią periimplantitis.

Purpose: The fundamental aim of this research was to determine the biomechanical characteristics of the medical bed made of carbon steel and an assessment of its stability. To define the biomechanical characteristics of the bed design, the finite element method (FEM) was applied. Additionally, the risk analysis was conducted according to the directives of ISO 14971 standard. Design/methodology/approach: The research was carried out on the typical rehabilitation bed. To define the biomechanical characteristics of this equipment, the finite element method was applied. Geometric model of medical bed, was discretized by means of SOLID 95 element. Appropriate boundary conditions imitating phenomena in the real system with appropriate accuracy were established. The aim of biomechanical analysis was calculation of displacements and stresses in the bed’s construction elements in a function of the applied loading. In order to carry out calculations, 3 models of diverse variants of loading were selected – safe working load - model 1, transverse stability - model 2 and longitudinal stability - model 3. Findings: The analyses showed the difference in displacements, strains and stresses in the characteristic points depending on the selected loading. That also helped to determine maximal loading causing the exceeding of the yield stress of the bed’s components. Research limitations/implications: The limitations were connected with simplification of numerical model of femur as well as with the selected boundary conditions. Practical implications: The obtained results can be useful in the designing process (modification of requirements regarding design and construction, as well as materials used in the production of the device, and reduction of risk as far as possible to the patient). They prove that 3D geometrical analysis works quite well for assistive medical devices design. Originality/value: Stress-strain-displacement characteristics of the medical bed’s elements, obtained from the numerical analysis were presented in the work.

Purpose: The aim of the work was evaluation of corrosion resistance of implantable Co-Cr-W-Ni alloy in simulated body fluids: human blood (artificial plasma), urine (artificial urine) and bone tissue (Tyrode solution). Design/methodology/approach: Corrosion resistance tests were carried out in the selected physiological body fluids at the temperature 37 ± 1°C with the use of the VoltaLab PGP 201 system for electrochemical tests. The saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was applied as the reference electrode and the auxiliary electrode was a platinum foil. The evaluation of pitting corrosion was realized by recording of anodic polarization curves with the use of the potentiodynamic method. In order to evaluate crevice corrosion resistance the samples were polarized in the potential equal to 0,8 V by 900 seconds. Roughness of all the samples was evaluated with the use of the SURTRONIC 3+(Taylor/Hobson) surface analyzer. Findings: Results of corrosion resistance tests of the Co-Cr-W-Ni alloy showed the diverse values of parameters obtained in the individual solutions. The suggested surface treatments ensure good crevice corrosion resistance of the Co-Cr-W-Ni alloy in all the tested physiological fluids. Research limitations/implications: The obtained results show the necessity of selection of the appropriate physiological solution, reflecting the specificity of body environment. In order to fully characterize the material in the human body environment, additional research on stress and fatigue corrosion should be carried out. Originality/value: The analysis of the obtained results show favorable influence of the suggested surface treatment of the Co-Cr-W-Ni alloy. Regardless of the selected physiological solution, the most favorable characteristics was observed for the electropolished and passivated samples.

W grupie metod inżynierii powierzchni, które wykorzystywane są do przygotowania powierzchni implantów wymienić możemy między innymi polerowanie elektrochemiczne oraz utlenianie anodowe. Metody te przyczyniają się głównie do poprawy chropowatości powierzchni oraz wzrostu odporności korozyjnej. Dobór obróbki powierzchniowych powinien odbywać się na podstawie wcześniej przeprowadzonych analiz biomechanicznych. Uwarunkowania biomechaniczne dotyczące naprężeń i przemieszczeń muszą być uwzględnione szczególnie w strefach kontaktów implantów. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań nad sposobami polerowania elektrochemicznego oraz utleniania anodowego dwufazowych stopów tytanu Ti6Al4V ELl, Ti6Al7Nb. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że polerowanie elektrochemiczne i utlenianie anodowe zapewniają dobrą odporność korozyjną stopów tytanu oraz wymaganą chropowatość powierzchni. Głównym składnikiem warstwy tlenkowej był dwutlenek tytanu. Aluminium oraz wanad, których stężenie obniżyło się w warstwie powierzchniowej w stosunku do materiału podłoża występowały w formie utlenionej. Badania przy pomocy mikroskopu AFM wykazały, iż warstwa jest ciągła.

In the group of surface treatments which are commonly used for preparing implants surface we can enumerate electropolishing and anodic oxidation. These methods increase roughness of the surfaces and corrosion resistance of the implants. Nevertheless, choosing a right method for any particular implant should be preceded by biomechanical investigations. In the biomechanical test strain, stress and displacements distributions are determined and on this base we can project a new layer. In the paper results of the research that concern influence of electropolishing and anodic oxidation of titanium alloys Ti6AlV ELl, Ti6Al7Nb on corrosion resistance, surface chemistry and structure were presented. It was shown that electropolishing and following anodic oxidation ensure required roughness for the implants and good corrosion resistance. The oxide layer of Ti6Al4V ELl was predominantly composed of titanium dioxide. Aluminum and vanadium were present in the layer in oxide form and their concentration was lower then in the bulk material. AFM observation showed that the layer is uniform.

Destrukcje koron zębów, będące wynikiem złamań lub zaawansowanej próchnicy z towarzyszącym im stanem zapalnym miazgi stanowią szczególny problem stomatologii zachowawczej. W praktyce klinicznej takie zęby leczone są endodontycznie, czyli kanałowo. Wynikiem takiego leczenia jest ząb martwy, bez miazgi, przygotowany do odbudowy. Jedną z metod stosowanych w procesie rekonstrukcji koron zębów po leczeniu endodontycznym, jest stosowanie metalowych wkładów koronowo-korzeniowych, które należą do grupy protez stałych jednoczłonowych oraz stanowią podbudowę pod uzupełnienie protetyczne. Na rynku dostępnych jest wiele rodzajów cementów stomatologicznych [1]. Aby ułatwić ich wybór, przeprowadzono analizę numeryczną układu wkład koronowokorzeniowy – ząb z wykorzystaniem trzech różnych rodzajów stosowanych cementów dentystycznych. Do analizy wytypowano wkład koronowo-korzeniowy Flexi-Post (wykonany ze stopu Ti6Al4V) ze względu na jego dużą retencję w kanale korzeniowym oraz mały nacisk na ścianę korzenia. Zakres przeprowadzonej analizy obejmował wyznaczenie stanu przemieszczeń, odkształceń i naprężeń w elementach analizowanego układu w zależności od zastosowanego cementu stomatologicznego. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników stwierdzono, że największe wartości naprężeń zredukowanych występują w przypadku zastosowania cementu fosforanowo-cynkowego, gdzie wartość ta była 3-krotnie większa w porównaniu do cementu szklanojonomerowego oraz kompozytowego. Dodatkowo nie stwierdzono istotnego wpływu zastosowanego cementu na pozostałe elementy analizowanego układu wkład-ząb. Uzyskane wyniki analizy numerycznej układu wkład-ząb z wykorzystaniem metody elementów skończonych stanowią cenną metodykę dla prawidłowego zaprojektowania jego postaci, cech geometrycznych, doboru własności mechanicznych oraz stopnia umocnienia biomateriału metalowego.

The destruction of tooth crowns, resulting from fractures or advanced decay with an accompanying inflammation of the pulp is a particular problem in conservative dentistry. In clinical practice, these teeth are treated endodontically that is root canal therapy. The result of such treatment is inanimate tooth, without pulp, prepared for a reconstruction. One of the methods used in the process of reconstruction of the teeth crowns after endodontic treatment, is the use of metal endodontic posts-and-cores that belong to the group of monosegmental fixed dentures and constitute a foundation for restoration. There are a lot of different kinds of dental cements on the market [1]. In order to facilitate selection of the optimal system, numerical analysis of the dental post-and-core – tooth system (for three variants of dental cements) was carried out. The main aim of the present work was numerical analysis of the dental post-and-core – tooth system using finite element method. For the analysis the Flexi-Post was selected (made of Ti6Al4V alloy) because of its high retention in the root canal and a small pressure on the root’s wall. The scope of the analysis included calculation of displacements, strains and stresses in the analyzed elements – depending on the applied dental cement. Based on the obtained results, it was found that the largest value of the equivalent stress occurred for zinc-phosphate cement. The value in this case was three times higher in comparison to the glass ionomer cement as well as composite cement. In addition, there was no significant influence of the cement used for other elements of the dental post-and-core – tooth system. The results of the analyzed system provide a valuable methodology for proper designing of its form, geometrical characteristics, the selection of the mechanical properties and an optimal degree of metallic biomaterial strengthening.
