Abstract:The main objective of this work is to show the capabilities of additive manufacturing to obtain arches and overdentures from titanium alloys. Overdentures are obtained mainly by subtractive techniques in both titanium alloys and Co-Cr-Mo. Obtaining these overdentures in Ti-6Al-4V, with better biocompatibility than Co alloys, by additive manufacturing (AM), by both laser and electron beam techniques, is of increasing interest. However, adequate mechanical and microstructural characterization is necessary to bri… Show more
