Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern biomaterial engineering is playing an increasingly significant role in our lives. Research conducted by scientists leads to the development of ever more unique solutions, often tailored to individual patients. The implant industry is one of the most advanced and rapidly evolving industries worldwide, particularly because it involves the highest quality materials. The development of materials dedicated to medicine is greatly supported by European Union funds, as well as local initiatives. However, the most crucial factor is the synergy between universities and implant manufacturers. Research on biomaterials in Poland has been conducted for several decades in many research centers. They focus on ceramics, polymers, metals, composites, and, above all, their modification and the synthesis of a new generation of biomaterials, including those utilizing natural resources. It seems pertinent to emphasize and summarize the activities of biomaterial engineers in Poland over the past few years.

This Special Issue is devoted to providing an overview of biomaterial science and bioengineering in Poland. It seeks to compile original articles, review articles, and state-of-the-art research papers. Research topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Metallic implants;
  • Surface engineering;
  • Ceramics;
  • Polymers;
  • Nanomaterials;
  • Amorphous materials;
  • Manufacturing processes;
  • Advances in biomaterial characterization;
  • Personalized implants;
  • Additive manufacturing;
  • Drug delivery systems.

The study involved numerical FEA (finite element analysis) of dental implants. Based on this, fatigue tests were conducted according to the PN-EN 14801 standard required for the certification of dental products. Thanks to the research methodology developed by the authors, it was possible to conduct a thorough analysis of the impact of external and internal factors such as material, geometry, loading, and assembly of the dental system on the achieved value of fatigue strength limit in the examined object. For this purpose, FEM studies were based on identifying potential sites of fatigue crack initiation in reference to the results of the test conducted on a real model. The actions described in the study helped in the final evaluation of the dental system design process named by the manufacturer as INTEGRA OPTIMA 3.35. The objective of the research was to identify potential sites for fatigue crack initiation in a selected dental system built on the INTEGRA OPTIMA 3.35 set. The material used in the research was titanium grade 4. A map of reduced von Mises stresses was used to search for potential fatigue crack areas. The research [loading] was conducted on two mutually perpendicular planes positioned in such a way that the edge intersecting the planes coincided with the axis of the system. The research indicated that the connecting screw showed the least sensitivity (stress change) to the change in the loading plane, while the value of preload has a significant impact on the achieved fatigue strength of the system. In contrast, the endosteal implant (root) and the prosthetic connector showed the greatest sensitivity to the change in the loading plane. The method of mounting [securing] the endosteal implant using a holder, despite meeting the standards, may contribute to generating excessive stress concentration in the threaded part. Observation of the prosthetic connector in the Optima 3.35 system, cyclically loaded with a force of F ≈ 300 N in the area of the upper hexagonal peg, revealed a fatigue fracture. The observed change in stress peak in the dental connector for two different force application surfaces shows that the positioning of the dental system (setting of the socket in relation to the force action plane) is significantly decisive in estimating the limited fatigue strength.
