Dental implant alloys made from titanium and zirconium are known for their high mechanical strength, fracture toughness and corrosion resistance in comparison with commercially pure titanium. The aim of the study was to investigate possible differences in the surface chemistry and/or surface topography of titanium and titanium-zirconium surfaces after sand blasting and acid etching. The two surfaces were compared by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and profilometry. The 1.9 times greater surface hydrogen concentration of titanium zirconium compared to titanium was found to be the major difference between the two materials. Zirconium appeared to enhance hydride formation on titanium alloys when etched in acid. Surface topography revealed significant differences on the micro and nanoscale. Surface roughness was increased significantly (p<0.01) on the titanium-zirconium alloy. High-resolution images showed nanostructures only present on titanium zirconium.

Evaluation of Exomass-Related Artefacts Caused by Dental Implants of Different Materials in Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Scans: An Ex Vivo Study.
Clin Oral Implants Res
December 2024
Department of Oral Health & Medicine, University Center for Dental Medicine Basel UZB, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Objectives: To evaluate the influence of different dental implant materials within the exomass on the image quality in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Material And Methods: Five pig jaws were scanned using four CBCT devices, first without any dental implants, followed by scans with three dental implants of the same material-pure titanium, titanium-zirconium alloy, and zirconium dioxide. Two fields of view (FOVs) were used for each device to position the implants in the exomass of a small FOV and within a large FOV.
Implant-Supported Cantilever Fixed Dental Prosthesis in the Anterior Region: Effect of Implant Type and Aging In Vitro.
Clin Oral Implants Res

Department of Reconstructive Dentistry, University Center for Dental Medicine Basel UZB, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Objectives: To investigate if the fracture load of implant-supported cantilever fixed dental prostheses (ICFDPs) in the anterior region is affected by the implant type and the aging protocol.
Materials And Methods: Sixty ICFDPs were prepared using multilayer monolithic zirconia for restoring bone-level (BL) and tissue-level (TL) titanium-zirconium implants. Fracture load was measured at baseline (no aging) or after aging in a chewing simulator loading the implant crown or the cantilever in a 30° angle (n = 10 per group).
Development and Evaluation of a Deep Learning Model to Reduce Exomass-Related Metal Artefacts in Cone-Beam Computed Tomography of the Jaws.

Department of Oral Health & Medicine, University Center for Dental Medicine Basel UZB, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Objectives: To develop and evaluate a deep learning (DL) model to reduce metal artefacts originating from the exomass in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the jaws.
Methods: Five porcine mandibles, each featuring six tubes filled with a radiopaque solution, were scanned using four CBCT units before and after the incremental insertion of up to three titanium, titanium-zirconium, and zirconia dental implants in the exomass of a small field of view. A conditional denoising diffusion probabilistic model, using DL techniques, was employed to correct images from exomass-related metal artefacts across the CBCT units and implant scenarios.
Environmental impact assessment of SONARA's oil sludge landfill in BATOKE, south-west Cameroon.

The focus of this study was to assess the environmental impact of the BATOKE oil sludge dump. A field visit was conducted to evaluate the condition of the site, followed by the sampling of oil sludge, BATOKE river water, soil, and locally grown manioc and macabo tubers. Subsequent physico-chemical characterization revealed parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, total hydrocarbons, COD, BOD5, TSS, major cations and anions, as well as heavy metals including iron, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium, lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, calcium, potassium, titanium, zirconium, and rubidium.

The sol-gel process is a green method used in the last few decades to synthesize new organic-inorganic phosphorus-containing hybrid materials. The sol-gel synthesis is a green method because it takes place in mild conditions, mostly by using water or alcohol as solvents, at room temperature. Therefore, the sol-gel method is, among others, a promising route for obtaining metal-phosphonate networks.
