Abstract

A titan grade 5 material for dental implants behavior was analyzed by thermal point of view. Heating on 23 to 150 °C temperature range the material Ti6Al4V exhibit a proper manifestation through reduce thermal conductivity, small dilatation or depth penetration. The thermal properties were analyzed by differential dilatometry and thermal conductivity at room temperature and under heating process during time as well. The results are comparing with properties of other dental materials like enamel, dentin, amalgam, gold, porcelain, glass, pmma polymer or ZnPO4..

Keywords
