Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the osteoblastic cells behavior and biotribocorrosion phenomena on bioactive titanium (Ti). Ti substrates submitted to bioactive anodic oxidation and etching treatments were cultured up to 28 days with MG63 osteoblast-like cells. Important parameters of in vitro bone-like tissue formation were assessed. Although no major differences were observed between the surfaces topography (both rough) and wettability (both hydrophobic), a significant increase in cell attachment and differentiation was detected on the anodized substrates as product of favorable surface morphology and chemical composition. Alkaline phosphatase production has increased (≈20 nmol/min/mg of protein) on the anodized materials, while phosphate concentration has reached the double of the etched material and calcium production increased (over 20 µg/mL). The mechanical and biological stability of the anodic surfaces were also put to test through biotribocorrosion sliding solicitations, putting in evidence the resistance of the anodic layer and the cells capacity of regeneration after implant degradation. The Ti osteointegration abilities were also confirmed by the development of strong cell-biomaterial bonds at the interface, on both substrates. By combining the biological and mechanical results, the anodized Ti can be considered a viable option for dentistry.

Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article involves the study of the electrodeposition of composite coatings that form when colloidal particles deposit onto an electrode at which metal electrodeposition simultaneously occurs. The codeposition process of polystyrene (PS) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles from a copper plating bath on a rotating disk electrode (rde) was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The influence of the fluid flow velocity, density, mean size and zeta-potential of the particles, viscosity and temperature of the plating bath on the deposition rate of particles is studied using the theoretical model. The predictions of the model are compared with experimental results.

Abstract
The feasibility of achieving a nanostructured material after different thermal processing of nanosized powders is presented. The thermal processing was done by either atmospheric plasma spraying, laser sintering, or extrusion followed by hot isostatic pressing. The structural characterisation of such thermally processed nanostructured Fe-based and Cu-based metallic or Al2O3 reinforced cermets, confirmed the retention of a nanostructure after each of these thermal processes. Hardness measurements confirmed an increased hardness as expected in the case that nanostructuring is achieved. The role of grain boundaries and second phase particles on the retention of the nanostructure after thermal processing is discussed. Finally, the possible benefit of nanostructuring on the friction and wear behaviour of materials in sliding tests against corundum in ambient air is reported and discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the frictional behaviour of 15 different archwires and 16 different brackets using small oscillating displacements when opposed to a standard stainless steel bracket or a standard stainless steel wire. Tests were run according to a pilot study at a frequency of 1 Hz and with a reciprocating tangential displacement of 200 microm, while the wire remained centred in the bracket slot under a load of 2 N. The results indicated a significant difference between the evaluated wires and brackets. The mean coefficient of friction (COF) of the wires varied from 0.16 for Imagination NiTi tooth-coloured wire to 0.69 for the True Chrome Resilient Purple wire, while for the brackets it ranged from 0.39 for Ultratrimm to 0.72 for the Master Series. The fact that in this study, a large number of different commercially available archwires and brackets were evaluated with the same apparatus according to the same protocol, allows a direct comparison of the different archwire and bracket combinations, and can assist in the choice of the optimal bracket-wire combination with regard to friction.

Abstract
In orthodontic treatment, sliding is frequently used to cause tooth movement. Inherent to this technique is the generation of a counteracting frictional force. In this pilot study, a fretting test consisting of reciprocating tangential displacements was used to investigate test parameters influencing frictional forces during sliding processes. Tests were run at a normal load of 2 N and a frequency of 1 Hz for tangential displacement strokes of 200 microm. Stainless steel orthodontic wires with cross-sections of .017 x .025 in (W17) and .018 x .025 in (W18), and brackets with slot sizes of .018 in (B18) and .022 in (B22) were used. A specific centered positioning method was developed to achieve a parallel alignment of the wire and the bracket slot. The experimental results indicated the significant role of the centered positioning method on the friction value. Implementation of the centered positioning method resulted in a friction force ranging from 0.89 N to 0.97 N at a 200 microm displacement amplitude and 1 Hz frequency, corresponding to a coefficient of friction ranging from 0.45 to 0.49 for the B18-W17 and the B22-W17 bracket-wire combinations, respectively. When the centered positioning method was not used, significantly higher values for the coefficient of friction were found for both bracket-wire combinations. The slot-filling, bracket-wire combinations (B18-W18 and B22-W22) resulted in an increased coefficient of friction and therefore are not recommended as sliding systems.

Abstract
A TEM-sample preparation method for small amounts of fretting wear debris is presented. After embedding in a resin, the debris are ultramicrotomed to ultra-thin sections. In this way, valuable observation of nanocrystalline fretting wear debris originating from TiN-coatings could be rapidly obtained.

Abstract
The chemical nature of the interface between dentin and adhesive resin materials was characterized by micro-Raman spectroscopy. The resulting chemical profiles were correlated with photomicrographs obtained by SEM after an argon-ion-beam etching treatment of the sample surface. Two commercially available dentin adhesive systems, of which one was also applied with a different conditioning agent, were investigated. Raman spectra, which were recorded along line scans across the interface with a step increment of 1 micron, revealed that resin effectively penetrated 4 to 6 microns deep into the superficially decalcified dentin zone. Across the interface, a gradual transition from resin to dentin over the interdiffusion zone with a mixed contribution of both substances was noticed. Finally, resin appeared to penetrate to the entire decalcification depth of dentin regardless of the aggressiveness of the conditioning procedure.

Abstract
The hardness and Young's modulus of the successive layers across a resin-dentin bonding area were determined by nano-indentation for four commercially-available dentin adhesive systems, of which two were also applied with a different conditioning agent. With a computer-controlled nano-indentation technique, minute triangular indentations were made within a small area of a few micrometers' diameter at a load of a few milli-Newtons. The load and displacement of the indenter were continuously monitored during the loading-unloading sequence, so hardness and Young's modulus could be computed as a function of the indenter geometry and the applied load. The hardness of the resin-dentin interdiffusion zone was significantly lower than that of unaltered dentin. A gradient of moduli of elasticity was observed from the rather stiff dentin over a more elastic resin-dentin interdiffusion zone and adhesive resin layer to the restorative composite. That gradient was more substantial in those systems that produced relatively thick adhesive resin layers or supplementally provided a filled low-viscosity resin as an intermediate layer between the adhesive resin and the bulk restorative composite. Such an elastic bonding area might have a strain capacity sufficient to relieve stresses between the shrinking composite restoration and the rigid dentin substrate, thereby improving the conservation of the dentin bond and, as a consequence, the marginal integrity and retention of the restoration.

Abstract
The recently developed nanoindentation technique was used to measure hardness and Young's modulus of small filler particles in resin composites and other dental restoratives. This technique eliminates the need to visualize indentations. Load and displacement are continuously monitored during a loading-unloading sequence, and hardness as well as Young's modulus are then calculated from the load-displacement curves taking into account the geometry of the indenter. Thirteen posterior composites, 3 dental ceramics for CAD/CAM restorations, 1 sintered porcelain, and 1 amalgam were investigated in this study. The results were compared to the hardness and Young's modulus determined by nanoindentation of human enamel. Of the dental materials tested, only five materials contain inorganic filler particles with a nanohardness not statistically different from that of enamel. The predominant fillers in all other materials, except amalgam and the prepolymerized resin fillers in Bell Firm PX, were found to be significantly harder. The dental restorative materials, except the alloy phase in amalgam, were composed of particles with a Young's modulus significantly lower than that of human enamel. The alloy phase in amalgam had a Young's modulus value comparable to that of enamel.

Abstract
In vitro vibrational wear tests were performed on 17 composites and one amalgam with human enamel as a reference. The specimens were fixed on a computer-controlled X-Y translation table that generated an oscillatory movement under small displacements. The dental material specimens were in permanent contact with an annealed chromium-steel counterbody. The tests were performed in ambient air of normal humidity at room temperature under non-lubricated sliding conditions. The friction between the counterbody and each of the various materials was measured on-line. After completion of the tests, the wear volumes were determined by contactless profilometry, and the wear pattern was studied with SEM. The simple vibrational test used in this study allowed a fast classification of different dental materials in terms of the relative wear on either the specimen or the counterbody material. The ratio of the wear volume of the counterbody versus the wear volume of the dental material specimen was used to accurately classify the materials according to their in vitro wear behavior, especially when this ratio was related to the total wear volume of the dental material specimen and the counterbody. From an analysis of the wear behavior of the both contacting materials, it became obvious that neither the wear of the dental materials nor of the chromium-steel counterbody appears to correlate with either the inorganic filler hardness, the intrinsic surface roughness, the surface hardness or the Young's modulus of the dental materials.

Abstract
The on-going search for a biologically acceptable restorative material has brought a confusing variety of composites on the dental market. In the present study, commercially available composites are categorized as a function of their mean particle size, filler distribution, filler content, Young's modulus, surface roughness, compressive strength, surface hardness, and filler morphology. Out of this information, it can be concluded that the materials of choice for restoring posterior cavities at present are the Ultrafine Compact-Filled Composites because their intrinsic surface roughness, Young's modulus and, indirectly, their filler content, compressive strength, and surface hardness are comparable to the same properties of enamel and dentin. The Ultrafine Midway-Filled Composites seem to be very satisfactory materials for anterior use.
