Study Shows Nb-1Zr Dental Implants Outperform Ti6Al4V in Load-Bearing Capacity

Posted: January 15, 2025
The study evaluated the load-bearing capacity of an experimental dental implant made of Nb-1Zr alloy compared to Ti6Al4V implants through artificial aging and chewing simulation. Results showed that the Nb1Zr implants had a failure load of 2595 ± 1069 N, while Ti6Al4V implants failed at 2958 ± 1058 N. Deformations were observed in both groups, with Nb1Zr implants showing 0.08 mm deformations compared to 0.04 mm in Ti6Al4V implants. The Nb1Zr alloy exhibited suitability for implants with a significantly higher load-bearing capacity than expected masticatory forces.
