DESIGNS, STRUCTURES, COATINGS AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN IMPLANTOPROSTHESIS
|
Description |
In this line we study the mechanical properties of implant prosthesis, in its different elements: structures, coatings, and connections to the implants.
In addition we analyze the sensory ability of implanted-restored patients and its clinical consequences. We studied the conventional and digital, scanners models and intraoral printing techniques.
The different techniques of preparation of implant-supported structures are tested: castings, machined, and sintered, evaluating the different materials that can be used: metals, ceramics, composites, carbon fiber, etc.
In the chapter of aesthetic coatings we studied the color stability, and different measurement techniques: spectrophotometer and digital camera.
Finally, we rehearse clinically the behavior of our implanted restorations according to internationally accepted clinical parameters.
We have worked with the following companies: Voco, Ivoclar, Dentsply, Straumann, Zimmer, PIC denta, Prosthetics S.A., Procoven, GT Medical, GC, Mutua Madrileña, Mozo-Grau, Vita, 3M-Espe.
In vitro testing of materials.

How does it work |
Trials conducted for the above objectives are:
1. For structures casted, or made by cad / cam: machined, sintered or by 3D printer:
- Strain tensile tests.
- Aging tests "in vitro" simulating oral conditions.
- Optical microscopy to assess structural adjustments, and surface analysis.
- Mechanical endurance testing.
- Hardness.
2. Electromyography, sonography Kinesiografía and patients with prosthetic implant.
3. Testing color and artificial aging in saliva and temperature controlled.
4. Epidemiological trials evaluating patients’ restorations CDA criteria: Color, shape and fit. (California Dental Association).

Advantages |
We offer the dental industry the opportunity to test their techniques and products "in vitro" and "in vivo" in the field of implant-prosthesis.
