Abstract:Biomaterials used in implantology have evolved over a period of time. In quest for desirable mechanical, physical and biological properties of material, numerous modifications have been made in existing materials. In order to optimize acceptance of implant in the biologic environment constant efforts have been made to introduce new materials or to improve existing material properties. It is imperative for every clinician to be thorough with the recent advancements and newer biomaterials so as to effectively se… Show more
“…Additionally, cyclical thermal stresses induced by differences in the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion between different interfaces can also contribute to SCC. Structural materials that are more susceptible to SCC include high-strength alloys such as stainless steel and aluminum [ 13 ]. Fig.…”
