UNLABELLED The use of implants as anchorage for orthodontic forces seems to be a good alternative in partially edentulous patients needing orthodontic treatment. This study is aimed at assessing the performance and behavior of microtextured surface endosseous implants obtained by means of a double acid etching against orthodontic forces, as well as their adequacy to be used first as anchorage a...

Abstract This study deals with the numerical analysis of plasma jet behavior close to substrate surface depending on its topography. It uses a 2D axisymmetric time-dependent CFD model solved Ansys Fluent 2020/R1 package. The takes into consideration nonlinear thermophysical properties and turbulent phenomena as well interaction microtextured substrate. Representative topographies were considere...

Abstract Defined surface micrcotextures offer potential for the friction reduction in elastohydrodynamic contacts and can thus increase energy efficiency of technical systems. The production prostheses, where microtextured surfaces provide anti-bacterial effects is another application area. To manufacture these components economically large quantities, forming processes are to be aimed at. Sinc...
