Chapter 1.5 Tribological behavior of specific implant materials for dental applications
-
Kamlendra Vikram
Abstract
Tribology covers three fundamental topics: friction, wear, and lubrication. As the world advances, tribology plays a crucial role in meeting the requirements for advanced technical innovations, enhancing machine lifespan and elevating the quality of life. The biological application, notably human joints such as knees and hips, continuously move in relation to one another; tribology evolves into bio-tribology. Numerous critical bio-tribological testing events might greatly influence the outcomes of wear concerning implant design and material selection. Tribology is crucial in improving the design and efficacy of biomaterials for medical applications. The joints of the human body, including the hip, knee, jaw, and oral components, must all address issues of wear and lubrication. Dental implant prosthetics represents a rapidly evolving area within contemporary medicine. The rise in social welfare, the aging population, and a significant increase in dental caries contribute to a growing demand for dental implants. In this chapter, we will thoroughly discuss about the wear behavior and impact of biomaterial on the dental application and tribological behaviors of implants and their development in the field of biomedical sciences. In addition, advancements in surface modifications of biomaterials like coatings, functionalization, and the insertion of bioactive molecules are also discussed. The background information and importance of implants materials are followed by a discussion about the role of lubricants in obtaining the ideal features for improved performance.
