Influence of Nicotine on the Tribocorrosion Behavior of

Ti6Al4V Alloy in Artificial Saliva Dmitry Royhman

Advisor: Dr. Mathew & Dr. Sukotjo

February 21st 2014

Background

• TI-6Al-4V is a widely accepted metal for dental implants due to its biocompatable and osseointegrative properties

Mavrogenis AF, et al., J. Musculoskelet Neuronal Interact, 2009

• Biomechanical forces and electrochemical attack from

the surrounding environment can cause the implant to degrade, leading to implant rejection

Yan Y, et al. Wear, 2007

• Clinical significance: released metal particles can lead to an adverse biological reaction resulting in local pain, swelling, and bone loss surrounding the implant

Sharan D., Orthopaedic Update (India), 1999

Nicotine

• An estimated 46 million people (20.6% of all adults) aged 18 years and older in the United States smoke cigarettes

CDS: Morbidity and Morality Weekly Report, 2010

• Nicotine is a plant derived extract and a natural alkaloid Connolly GN et al., Tob Control, 2007

• Nicotine content in cigarettes has slowly increased over the

years, and one study found that there was an average increase of 1.6% per year, from 1998 to 2005, in Machine-measured levels of smoke in cigarettes

Connolly GN et al., Tob Control, 2007

Motivation for the Study

• Smoking is known to increase implant failure rate Hinode D. Clinical oral implants research. 2006

• There is a limited amount of information available on the effect of

nicotine’s effect on the mechanical and chemical behavior of implants in simulated physiological conditions

• To investigate the corrosive behavior of TI6Al4V when exposed to

artificial saliva in different pH levels and nicotine concentrations

• Hypothesis: Increased nicotine concentration will increase the tribocorrosion behavior of TI6Al4V
