Medical implants are often made of either titanium, resin or ceramics. Compare the following for the volume of expansion: i) natural tooth material (α = 8.3 x10-6 /C), ii) resin (α = 81x10-6 /C) and iii) titanium alloys (α = 25x10-6/C) for a tooth approximated by a cylinder with radius 0.50 cm and height of 2.0 cm (1.0 cm root and 1.0 cm exposed tooth) at 37°C in comparison to the pre-implant room temperature of 20°C.

Question

Medical implants are often made of either titanium, resin or ceramics.

Compare the following for the volume of expansion:

i) natural tooth material (α = 8.3 x10-6 /C), ii) resin (α = 81x10-6 /C) and iii) titanium alloys (α = 25x10-6/C) for a tooth approximated by a cylinder with radius 0.50 cm and height of 2.0 cm (1.0 cm root and 1.0 cm exposed tooth) at 37°C in comparison to the pre-implant room temperature of 20°C.
