Effect of Ag addition on Cp-Ti dental implant

Abstract

To supplant a missing tooth, plenty of materials, for example, cobalt-chromium (Co–Cr) and treated steel, had been aimed to make an implant. The advancement of materials science and modification improved the materials for implant application. These days, Ti turns into the most prominent implanted material because of its favorable circumstances. Probity, Ti is broadly and effectively utilized as an implant material fundamentally because of different elements. Ti is naturally dormant, ready to bond with osteoblasts and has magnificent biocompatibility. In this research, all the samples are prepared using the powder technique and the preparation process included adding silver element to the commercially pure titanium at different weight percent of (10, 20 and 30) to explore the influence of introducing the silver element into the commercially pure titanium on the microstructure, mechanical properties of the produced specimens. There are two sets of silver-titanium alloys sintering on different temperatures first set on 900 °C and the other on 700 °C. Microstructures analysis stated that at silver content of (10-20 wt%) single phase of (α-Ti alloy), as the silver content increased to (30% Wt), in addition to (α-phase), (Ti2Ag) intermetallic compound developed in the alloy microstructure, and the hardness test result best hardness of titanium-silver alloys is with silver content of (30% Wt) at sintering temperature of 900 °C.To supplant a missing tooth, plenty of materials, for example, cobalt-chromium (Co–Cr) and treated steel, had been aimed to make an implant.
