The application of tribology in dentistry is growing rapidly, intense research has been conducted to develop an understanding of dental tribology for better selection of artificial materials and dental implant design. Dental biotribology, has been one of the most important branches in biotribology in recent years. The aim of this research is to investigate the tribological performances in the tooth-to-tooth contact and material-to-natural tooth contact (zirconia vs. zirconia and natural tooth vs. zirconia). The presented research was carried out by testing the above mentioned tribological pairs with the use of a reciprocating tribometer under lubricated conditions (artificial saliva). The normal force used in the tests was 20 N the time for each test was of 60 min. The stroke length was 2 mm, according to the range of displacement used in scientific literature. The wear mass loss evaluation was evaluated by using a gravimetric method. In order to characterize the wear mechanisms, present in the worn surfaces after each of tribo-tests, a topographic analysis was carried with a 3D non-contact optical profiler. The results show that the minimum value of the COF is obtained in the case of Zirconia vs. Zirconia tribo-couple. The results on the wear mass loss show a very low wear rate when coupling in tribological condition natural tooth with a ceramic restoration (a mean value of 0.5 mg was found). This rate is even lower when the contact is between two artificial zirconia teeth.

Metal wear and corrosion debris remain a limiting factor for long-term durability of total hip replacement (THR). Common wear particle production techniques for research differ from the actual tribocorrosion processes at the implant site, potentially causing loss of valuable information. The aim of this study was to investigate reactions to freshly generated and time-stabilized particles and ions released from CoCrMo-alloy using a bio-tribometer, which mimics conditions of the periprosthetic environment.

In this study, a novel reciprocating tribometer, in which the frictional pairs were immersed in liquid nitrogen directly, was developed to simulate the cryogenic fluid lubrication. To eliminate the negative influence of extremely low temperature on force sensors, a transfer structure of force-deformation, consisting of cantilever beams and measurement beams, was designed specially. It can transfer the structural deformations caused by the loading force and the friction force from the cryogenic zone to the room-temperature zone.

This research intends to enhance the tribo-mechanical and corrosion properties of ADC 12 alloys by incorporating marble dust (MD) as a reinforcing element. Composites with varied MD concentrations (0-10 wt%) were fabricated using a squeeze casting process, addressing the limitations of conventional casting techniques. The microstructural analysis confirmed homogeneous MD dispersion within the ADC 12 matrix, facilitating an effective load transfer and solid interfacial bonding.

Background: Interproximal enamel reduction (IPR) is a clinical procedure which involves reduction and anatomic recontouring of interproximal surfaces of enamel as a method of gaining space. The biological effects related to this clinical procedure have long been discussed. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the enamel reduction efficiency and the effects on enamel surfaces of the oscillating mechanical system for interproximal enamel reduction (IPR).
