Biocompatibility and behavior in corrosive environment of titanium based materials for dental implants application

Osnovna težnja razvoja biokompatibilnih metalnih materijala je poboljšanje karakteristika implanata sa ciljem obezbeđenja funkcionisanja implanata u ljudskom organizmu bez štetnih efekata, produženje radnog veka implanata bez potrebe za revizionom hirurškom intervencijom i poboljšanje kvaliteta života pacijenata. Stoga je cilj ove doktorske disertacije bio da se sa multidisciplinarnog stanovišta sagleda biokompatibilnost i koroziona postojanost materijala na bazi titana dobijenih konvencionalnim postupcima izrade u uslovima koji simuliraju uslove u oralnoj sredini, kao i razvoj nove serije biokompatibilnih materijala na bazi titana poboljšanih karakteristika za primenu u oralnoj implantologiji...Abstract: The main goal of biocompatible metallic materials development is improvement of implants’ characteristics in order to obtain functioning of implants in human body without harmful effects, prolongation of implants’ working life with no needs for surgical revision and improvement of patients’ life quality. Having that in mind, the purpose of this doctoral dissertation was to review, by multidisciplinary approach, biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of titanium based materials obtained by conventional processing methods in conditions that simulate oral environment, as well as development of new series of biocompatible titanium based materials enhanced characteristics for application in oral implantology..
