An epidemiological qualitative/quantitative SWOT‐AHP analysis in order to highlight the positive or critical aspects of dental implants: A pilot study

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 10, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Objectives In recent years, dental implants are increasing in popularity due to their high success rate, demonstrated functionality, and aesthetic treatment results. Scientific research is very active in proposing improvements in the quality and survival of implants, taking into consideration various aspects. The objective of this study was to

Bio-friction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Friction studies in biological systems are reviewed, including synovial joints (cartilage, meniscus), eye, pleurae, fat pad, skin, and oral cavity as well as daily activities associated with shaving, brushing, slip, etc.

Dry And Ringer Solution Lubricated Tribology Of Thin Osseoconductive Metal Oxides And Diamond-Like Carbon Films

open access: yesArchives of Metallurgy and Materials, 2015
Achieving fast and strong adhesion to jawbone is essential for dental implants. Thin deposited films may improve osseointegration, but they are prone to cohesive and adhesive fracture due to high stresses while screwing the implant into the bone, leading

OBSERVATION OF LUBRICATION FILM IN SYNOVIAL JOINT [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings on Engineering Sciences, 2019
Painless movement is very important in active life; therefore, a proper function of our synovial joints is necessary. Synovial joints can be injured during human life in several ways.

Contact tribology also affects the slow flow behavior of granular emulsions

open access: yes, 2018
Recent work on suspension flows has shown that contact mechanics plays a role in suspension flow dynamics. The contact mechanics between particulate matter in dispersions should depend sensitively on the composition of the dispersed phase: evidently ...

Electrophoretically deposited titanium and its alloys in biomedical engineering: Recent progress and remaining challenges

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 112, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Over the past decade, titanium implants have gained popularity as the number of performed implantation operations has significantly increased. There are a number of methods for modifying the surface of biomaterials, which are aimed at extending the life of titanium implants.

Michromechanics in biogenic hydrated silica: hinges and interocking devices in diatoms. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Diatoms are single-celled organisms with rigid parts in relative motion at the micrometrescale and below. These biogenic hydrated silica structures have elaborate shapes, interlocking devices, and, in some cases, hinged structures.

Slipping friction of an optically and magnetically manipulated microsphere rolling at a glass-water interface

open access: yes, 2008
The motion of submerged magnetic microspheres rolling at a glass-water interface has been studied using magnetic rotation and optical tweezers combined with bright-field microscopy particle tracking techniques.

Tribological performance of the biological components of synovial fluid in artificial joint implants

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2015
The concentration of biological components of synovial fluid (such as albumin, globulin, hyaluronic acid, and lubricin) varies between healthy persons and osteoarthritis (OA) patients.

Multi-physics modelling and experimental validation of electrovibration based haptic devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Electrovibration tactile displays exploit the polarisation of the finger pad, caused by an insulated high voltage supplied plate. This results in electrostatic attraction, which can be used to modulate the users' perception of an essentially flat surface
