Abstract

The goal is developing an efficient bond interface between the implant and the cement by applying micron to nano size fibers to the surface of the implant through an electrospinning process, utilizing biocompatible fibers. Experimental models have been developed to evaluate the forces experienced on a cemented cylinder shape titanium implant through a static and cyclic tests. Finite element analysis (FEA) model for an uncoated cylindrical cemented titanium model was developed and tested under static and fatigue conditions. Our experimental study on cylindrical model found increase of pull out static strength for fiber coated implant (Mean strength = 1.308 MPa) compare to uncoated implant (Mean strength = 1.098 MPa) for 2 samples. Our experimental study also found no noticeable increase of pull out fatigue life for fiber coated implant (Mean fatigue life = 2019 cycles) compare to uncoated implant (Mean fatigue life = 2015 cycles) for 2 samples. Our FEA study on cylindrical model found the design life to be 1690 cycles with element size of 3.0E-3 m under the minimum stress of 112 kPa and maximum stress of 9.71 MPa according to Modified Goodman theorem.
