RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the effects of magnetron-sputtered ZrSiN/ZrO2 gradient coating on the bonding strength of commercially pure titanium to porcelain.Methods:50 cast titanium specimens were prepared according to the ISO 9693 standard,and divided into 2 groups(n =25).The ZrSiN/ZrO2 gradient coating was deposited on specimens by magnetron sputtering technique,and subsequently a low-fusing porcelain was applied for the samples in the expermental group,the samples in the control group were treated by surface sandblasting.The roughness and surface energy of the samples were measured(n =10).The bonding strength of titanium-porcelain specimens was analyzed by three-point bending test (n =10).Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) were employed to examine the properties of the delaminated and cross-sectioned surfaces.The results were analyzed by paired t-test (α =0.05) with SPSS 1 1.0 software.Results:The roughness of the experimantal group was lower(P ＜ 0.05) and the contact angle was larger(P ＜ 0.05) than those in the control group.The titanium-porcelain bond strength of gradient-coated group was greater than that of control group(P ＜0.05).The SEM and EDS examination results of delaminated and cross-sectioned surfaces also indicated that the gradient-coated group showed more porcelain residues.Conclusion:The bonding strength of porcelain-fused-to-titanium can be improved by magnetron sputtered ZrSiN/ZrO2 gradient coating.
RESUMEN
[Objective]To evaluate the interface biomechanical characteristics of a new kind of hydroxyapatite coating.[Method] Ten dogs underwent hermiarthroplasty of hip joint and were divided into 2 groups.One group was placed in Ti-6AI-4V femoral stem(Ti hip group),the second group was placed in HA-coated femoral stem(HA hip group).The second method was rod implant in condyles in both legs of each dog.Four matured dogs were selected.Eight Ti-6AI-4V rods(Ti rod group)were placed in lateral and medial condyle in left leg of each dog and eight HA-coated rods(HA rod group)were implanted in that of right leg of each dog.The dogs were sacrificed at 12 weeks after operation,and then the interface shear strength and imerface histological changes were evaluated.[Result]The Pust-out test showed that the average interface shear strengths of Ti hip group and HA hip group were(2.58?1.56)Mpa and(7.57?1.03)Mpa respectively.The interface shear strengths of HA hip group was significantly higher than that of Ti hip group(P
