Cobalt–chromium alloys fabricated with four different techniques: Ion release, toxicity of released elements and surface roughness -

The aim of the study was to investigate the metal ion release, surface roughness and cytoxicity for Co–Cr alloys produced by different manufacturing techniques before and after heat treatment. In addition, to evaluate if the combination of materials affects the ion release.

Ion release from three different dental alloys – effect of dynamic loading and toxicity of released elements -

The aims of this in vitro study were to assess if dynamic loading increases the metal ion release of selected dental alloys and to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the released metal ions

Carbon fiber reinforced root canal posts: Mechanical and cytotoxic properties. -

The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical properties of a prefabricated root canal post made of carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRC) with metal posts and to assess the cytotoxic effects elicited. Flexural modulus and ultimate flexural strength was determined by 3 point loading after CRFC posts had been stored either dry or in water.

Casting of Ti-6Al-4V alloy compared with pure Ti in an Ar-arc casting machine -

Dental prostheses of Ti are normally cast in pure Ti. Some appliances, however, require higher yield strength. Casting of Ti alloys is of interest in such cases. The objective of the present work was to study the quality of castings made of Ti-6Al-4V compared with those made of pure Ti.
