    An application of finite element method in material selection for dental implant crowns
    (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2021) Sensoy, Abdullah T.; Colak, Murat; Kaymaz, Irfan; Findik, Fehim
    Materials used for dental crowns show a wide range of variety, and a dentist's choice can depend on several factors such as patient desires, esthetics, tooth factors, etc. One of the most important issues for implant surgery is the primary stability and it should be provided to minimize the risks of screw loosening, failed osseointegration, or nonunion. The current study aims to present the Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-based material selection strategy for a dental crown in terms of reducing the aforementioned risks of dental implants. A virtual surgery mandible model obtained using MIMICS software was transferred to the ANSYS and material candidates determined using CES software were compared using FEA. The results indicated that ZrO2+Y2O3 (zirconia) has shown a 12.79% worse performance compared to Au83-88/Pt4-12/Pd4.5-6 alloy in terms of abutment loosening. On the other hand, zirconia is the most promising material for dental crowns in terms of the stability of the bone-implant complex. Therefore, it may show the best overall performance for clinical use. Moreover, as suggested in this study, a better outcome and more accurate predictions can be achieved using a patient-specific FEA approach for the material selection process.

    Optimal Material Selection for Total Hip Implant: A Finite Element Case Study
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2019) Sensoy, Abdullah Tahir; Colak, Murat; Kaymaz, Irfan; Findik, Fehim
    The selection of most proper materials in engineering design is known as an important stage of the design process. In order to successfully complete this stage, it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge about the structure of materials, density, melting point, thermal expansion coefficient, tensile and yield strength, elongation, modulus of elasticity, hardness and many other properties. There are several selection systems that help the design engineer to choose most suitable material that meet the required properties. In the field of bioengineering, the selection of materials and the development of new materials for the clinical needs are increasingly important. In this study, the cases of optimal implant stabilization were investigated, material alternatives for hip prosthesis were evaluated, and optimal materials were determined. Using computerized tomography data with MIMICS software, virtual surgery was applied the hip bone and the implant was attached to bone. Boundary conditions and material properties have been defined, and finite element model has been created. FEA investigation of the mechanical behavior of the hip implant for various material alternatives determined by the CES software showed that the best material candidate is austenitic, annealed and biodurable stainless steel in terms of the micromotions at the implant-bone cement interface regarding osseointegration. This candidate showed 20.69% less strain value than the most commercially used hip implant material, Ti6Al4V. Therefore, the findings of this study suggest that the use of some specific stainless steel materials for implants may reduce the operation cost and increase the operation success for the total hip arthroplasty.
